It's an annual event for us and we always love the atmosphere. Rav D

First time I've done the St Albans half marathon in almost 20 years and I absolutely loved it! The atmosphere was great, the marshals were helpful and supportive and there were plenty of water stations. I felt it was well organised and the course was really beautiful in places. There's no getting around the fact that it's a testing course but if you're up for the challenge it's a fantastic event to be part of. Highly recommend x Georgie R

The best race ever, the team ATW was amazing on every aspect, I would run this race again, and again, and again...Well done, guys! Gabriel P

This was definitely one of the most enjoyable half marathons I’ve taken part in - not too hilly and not too flat, really lively great and great group of runners and marshals. Andrew S

I had the pleasure of being a pacer at this year's half marathon, it was my first time running this event. It was a lovely event, well organised, lots of facilities and plenty of info on where to park etc. Using the pacers to get everyone in position was a great idea, it helped people get to the right position in the start funnel. Personally, I enjoyed the undulating course, it was a nice mix and kept it interesting. There was only one tight section, but that was quite short, so it wasn't really an issue. Very well marshalled and supported by the local residents. Also, an ice lolly at the end, what's not to love! I will certainly be signing up again. Petra W

What a brilliantly run event. So impressed with the whole process from start to finish. A fantastic day out and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our day. Thank you ATW! Simon M

My son took part in the fun run. This was his first mini run and he loved it! He was so proud to get a medal at the end and the ice lolly was a lovely touch. A great event for the whole family. A lovely local day out. Kathleen B
