Helen Bennett ran her very first half marathon on 24th October in Stroud Gloucestershire and got a time of 2 hours 12 minutes, a great time given it was her first attempt.
Helen writes: The route is lovely – starting in Stroud then winding out into country lanes before heading back into Stroud again. A generally undulating route with a steady hill between mile 6 and 7. The event organisation was fantastic, so it’s definitely a run I’d recommend – as long as it’s not on the same day as the Birmingham half again!
