The bands and choirs as well as spectators really make you feel welcome. Would definitely recommend this for any 1st time "halfers" Lee H
I entered the Leeds half because I needed a hilly half marathon to do as a training run. This turned out to be an excellent choice. Dasen P

Amazing support from the general public and so much encouragement and support and so helpful and powerful. GM H
First time doing the half marathon, the biggest thing that stuck out was the crowd support, never seen support like it at a race! From villages handing out oranges, high fives, smiles and sweets to somebody putting on their own extra drink station. Was phenomenal, will be back next year! Matt C
