Great North West Half Marathon

A fast and flat half marathon race on the coast in Blackpool, England, home of Blackpool Pleasure Beach.

Although a relatively small race (~1,500 competitors), the event has been going on for 32 years now so one can assume that the team involved are fairly experienced.

The route is a 2 lap course which means it is great if you want your family and friends to support you but not so much if you are not a fan of looped courses.
