Ally-C Aug 2018 7:09pm, 26 Aug 2018 339 posts	0 Ally-C Did the Cambus Quarter today, good, flat mixed terrain course, small field, cheap as chips, burger and buffet at the finish.
Scorge Aug 2018 7:17pm, 26 Aug 2018 418 posts	0 Scorge much preferred the new aberdeen half route today - seaton park breaks up that part of the race nicely. t-shirt a cracker too. happy to get round in one piece(ish)

MazH Aug 2018 7:34pm, 26 Aug 2018 9,757 posts	0 MazH Weather was pretty good, head wind at times was a bit meh but that’s Aberdeen beach for ya Tshirt, fab! Medal, fab! Baggage buses, fab! Having the stalls and the concessions in the main area was good too Altho I didn’t avail myself of anything. I liked the new route changes but I think it made it a bit tougher. And I seem to have some colour across my cheeks. Windburn or sunburn!? The marshals were amazing, even the ones I didn’t personally know!
KimCanRun Aug 2018 7:42pm, 26 Aug 2018 3,378 posts	0 KimCanRun I really enjoyed the GAR Half (apart from the windy beach & cobbles!). A lot of folk didn’t seem to enjoy it last year. I seem to be in the minority with the t-shirt. Thought it was a bit lacklustre. Nice change of colour though. And good that the distance was noted. Ditto for the marshalls. Think there was only a handful I didn’t know!
princesszee Aug 2018 7:55pm, 26 Aug 2018 635 posts	0 princesszee Loved my first time at Aberdeen half marathon and super duper chuffed with over a 2 minute half marathon PB as been trying to get under 2:20 for about 7 years since my first half! The start had a great atmosphere, marshals were brilliant, enjoyed the course, especially the finish down the high street and felt it was challenging and mixed (could have been a bit less windy but can’t have everything!) and I’ve still got my medal and t shirt on. Definitely worth the 250mile round trip and would do it again for sure.
