Sushi. Aug 2021 5:39pm, 8 Aug 2021 30,652 posts	0 Sushi. I marshalled the English 1/2 in Warrington about 4-5 yrs ago
larkim Aug 2021 5:55pm, 8 Aug 2021 15,203 posts	0 larkim Warrington was the one where it all went wrong financially about 3 years ago and the organiser nearly took his own life in the aftermath. Don't think it runs any more.
Vixx Aug 2021 6:21pm, 8 Aug 2021 1,422 posts	0 Vixx Oh blimey!
Sushi. Aug 2021 6:34pm, 8 Aug 2021 30,653 posts	0 Sushi. Ah ok. Missed that as when I wasn't running due to injury.
jennywren Aug 2021 6:45pm, 8 Aug 2021 16,982 posts	0 jennywren Yes that was a bad business. The guy got so much hate
JK chameleon Aug 2021 7:23pm, 8 Aug 2021 14,827 posts	0 JK chameleon I liked Frecketon Half, if that's still going.
Sushi. Aug 2021 7:33pm, 8 Aug 2021 30,659 posts	0 Sushi. That was the oldest half I think. I liked it too and it started behind the house I lived in till I was 2. I think that was Fylde runners too and they do windmill now
jennywren Aug 2021 7:41pm, 8 Aug 2021 16,983 posts	0 jennywren Oh yes, I’d forgotten about Freckleton 2 pm start meant it was usually hot.
JK chameleon Aug 2021 7:57pm, 8 Aug 2021 14,828 posts	0 JK chameleon Definitely roasty toasty the times I did it. Got an umbrella as a finishers token one time, still use it now - despite being somewhat baffled by it on the day.
Vixx Aug 2021 7:59pm, 8 Aug 2021 1,423 posts	0 Vixx The Halves I know of (let me know if some no longer exist): Manchester Half Great Run Manchester Half Tatton Park Half Heaton Park Half Four Villages Chester Half Wilmslow Half Warrington Half Oulton Park Half Blackpool Half Is there a York Half? Might consider the Brathay Windemere Half if they put it on (wasn't sure if they were carrying on with that or just doing the Marathon).
