macapple Great race. I thought the starting pens worked really well this year. Huge improvement from when I did it in 2012 and had to climb over the barriers to get in. I went in the 1:45-2:00 pen and crossed the line in 4 minutes. Toilet queue was awful but no worse than other races I've done. Unaffiliated 1:47:25 1:56:12 1:56:12 56.71

hookyspelooky My garmin also measured 13.28m I knew I wouldn't go well, still injured and underprepared. Lovely to run with my brother, though I told him to carry on without me at mile 6 and he finished 25mins before me (his first half). Good conditions, fairly good support along the way. A few bored looking marshalls towards the end and some idiot kids on motorbikes along the path just before the finish. Unaffiliated 2:22:21 2:22:21 2:30:00 2:47:09 39.08
Pingu99 I can't believe that the start was so poor, it took over 10 mins to get over the line (and I was in the 1:45 funnel. The course was also long (my Garmin said 13.28 anyone else any comments). Being a Peterborough resident and with the course going virtually past my front door I feel the need to support it but I also feel that the runners are being used as a cash cow for the council. To all those supporters and marshalls a big thanks you were awesome and the water stations were well managed (but could do with bins to drop your bottles in). Will I do it again probably but come on Peterborough City Council raise your game all the runners do. Unaffiliated 1:37:26 1:43:57 1:49:59 1:43:57 64.77

Ricardo So I wanted to have a trial of my hopeful marathon pace, and intended to follow the 1:40 pacers. This went ok for about a mile, but just got annoying. Ended up just doing a faster manageable pace. Unaffiliated 1:29:03 1:32:51 1:40:00 1:36:15 64.15

iwannarun76 Yes the course was definitely longer..Even my Garmin said it was 13.28..But am happy that I was able to shave off 8 minutes from my PB despite the course being lobger Unaffiliated 2:14:38 2:14:38 2:15:00 2:14:38 43.85

Ally2 great eastern run. knew ben would be a target and I went with him. Through 3 miles in 15:00, 10k in 31:17 (still felt ok), 10 mile in 50.54 (hanging in). last 5k in 15:52. 10 sec pb. had to cope with a stitch at 8 due to uneven road surface and dave Wardle coming back to me at half way. It went fairly quickly. Ben left me at half way and i shook Dave off at 9 mile. Notts AC, Hermitage Harriers RC 1:05:41 1:06:48 1:06:50 1:06:48 87.93

jlucas My best race in ages in terms of executing a plan and just a shame I didn't trust my training and doubted myself. Very happy with a 40 second pb but the competitor in me still wants a sub 80minute half! Werrington Joggers 1:19:12 1:20:13 1:20:13 73.60

K-Bal Absolutely agree with Pingu99 about the council showing hints at ripping runners off - slowly increasing the fee over the last few years, withdrawing free parking, using an entry system that adds over £2 to the fee, etc. Shame, as almost everything else about the race is fantastic. Marshals, volunteers, spectators and fellow runners all go towards making it a wonderful, friendly event. Yaxley Runners and Joggers 1:27:50 1:27:50 1:29:24 1:27:50 66.08
