northernrunner very disappointed with my out come to this race as was quite confident of getting a new pb but missed out by 38 seconds. not really sure what went wrong as by 10 mile was ahead of my pb at that distance. very well organised by tees valley council for the park and ride scheme and by the time the race started the weater was brilliant. finished 13th Blackhill Bounders 1:14:17 1:16:12 1:14:30 1:16:12 76.30
Drifter First road race since October- final prep before marathon, want a confidence boost so I want to go close to my pb.
Number has arrived - 711 - forecast is for sun and NO wind! Can't wait. 
Conditions were perfect - very happy with result.  Driffield Striders 1:19:54 1:22:37 1:24:00 1:22:37 75.37

Heelandcoo Heard this is a flat route so maybe a PB? Yes - a PB. Felt quite comfortable most of the way round. Last 3-4 miles started to feel a bit tired but still had plenty of energy to speed it up a little. Know I could go even faster but will need to find a suitable half marathon after Edinburgh to test this. Claremont Road Runners 1:31:30 1:36:24 1:45:00 1:37:58 65.81

gosbag Not a good idea running with a cold and a dead-leg (fell off bike...stupid place to put a tree trunk), but strangely enough, really enjoyed it...even though someone found where I'd stashed my shirt when the sun shone on us ...I hope it stinks!  Feedback I've had is that the presentations were,well...rubbish.  The reasons given were that it was New Marske Harriers AC 1:27:47 1:33:19 1:35:00 1:38:24 64.90

Watcho A very well organised brilliant run with almost perfect running conditions. I would imagine a few PB's would be achieved. I enjoyed the atmosphere and there seemed to be a good crowd all the way round! Well done to all those taking the punt on me next year will be harder! Redcar RC 1:39:50 1:44:40 1:51:30 1:44:40 56.41

philbo Doing this as part of my Edinburgh marathon training.*  update *  A good race didn't quite stick to my marathon pace got caught up with the race pace in the last six miles , set off ok good pace and stuck to what i set out to do, but as we dropped down into Marske the race took over, still a good day and great weather.

chow Happy with under 2hrs for my first half marathon.Great day and a well organised event. Darlington Harriers & AC 1:35:21 1:53:42 1:53:42 50.99
DuaneDibbley what a fantastic day - I was really chuffed with my sub 2hr time for my very first half marathon...even more pleased as I'd had a stomach bug for the whole week leading up to the run and hadn't eaten well without yacking until the 2 days prior to the race.

It was a really well organised event, my family and friends came along and loved the day too. From a runners point of view, and without any other race to compare it to, I thought it was a really nice run - especially after coming through Marske and down by the coast.

Will be doing this race next year for sure!

have mapped the race too - gmaps http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2751808
