Superb event

Another fantastic Race Harborough event. Loads of onsite free parking with easy access. Hill but superb route. Excellent marshals along the route. Nice medal at the end with decent food and drink on offer too. Would definitely recommend this event.

A superb event! The atmosphere was excellent and supportive. It was well organised and although a tough course, the scenery was stunning.

Absolutely fantastic!

Having lived in Market Harborough for 10 years and taking up running 9 years ago, I was very excited for this new local race. It did not disappoint. The organisation like all other Race Harborough events was fantastic. The marshals were incredibly as always. The spectators were also fantastic and much needed at some points! I can’t wait to do it all again next year.

Excellent from start to finish

Really enjoyed this run. Organisation was spot-on, communications were good throughout and the course was marshalled superbly. The community support was very welcome and the whole experience, other than the blisters, was fantastic. Definitely recommend and we’ll certainly be back.

Excellent Event , Definitely Recommend This Event

Great having Pacers at the Event, as a few runners found some of the hills hard but the Pacers gave then encouragement and got them up the hills

Brilliantly organised

So you can never have enough toilets at these events, but having male urinals really take the pressure off the use of the cubicle, worked really well at Leicester Half

Organiser comment:

Many thanks for your feedback Rob. I've added urinals to my list for next year's event to try and get those toilet queues moving a bit faster. Hope to see you again in 2027!

My favourite half I have done so far.

Big shout out to the pacers and the marshalls for support along the way. They were all relentlessly positive for everyone that I could see.
