My first time at this event. Had the best day - will be coming back next year. Eve N
The course is flat and fast so ideal for first timers or anyone looking for a PB. This years race was very well organised with a prompt start, marshals were helpful and supportive on the way round. Lucy B

Awesome event, so well organised and friendly. Robbie B
Being able to run through the Cathedral grounds was a great addition. The volunteers that help did such a beautiful job. Thank you to everyone involved as if it weren’t for you all I wouldn’t be able to run around the city that means so much to me. Great job everyone. Karl H
Always a great day and this year proved even better than ever! Really great atmosphere, great course and brilliantly organized! Makes every runner want to come back again and again! Already looking forward to next year. Chris M
Great event. Good road course. Fantastic medal. Clare M
A superb day. Lots of local car parks and great travel links with the Peterborough train station a 10 minute walk to start line. The start areas are well organised with a team of pacers , the course is flat and fast. Great provision of toilets on the route with the water stations, rare for a half marathon to have such good on-course provision. The support in Peterborough is electrifying, this is a much loved event and people come out to support runners. The route saw the addition of the Cathedral which adds a really unique aspect to the course. A very decent medal and goodie bag. The route allows for a chance of a PB, I will be back next year. A superb half marathon and an essential addition for your autumn running calendar. Secret R
