  • Comments: Love this race. So glad I didn't miss it this year. Was great to meet Puddle Duck in person. I was 30 minutes slower than last year, but hey ... I wasn't in a hospital bed or wheelchair, I wasn't on crutches or in a Bionic Woman Leg Brace ... I showed up and did the whole thing. Life is good!

  • Comments: It's a great course, but way too many participants, especially in the areas where we had to share the road on loop backs. The finish line food was all too sweet, nothing salty provided. Volunteers were great, but the aid stations were too few and oddly spaced. the one nutrition station did not have chocolate gels?? I will choose to do a different race next year.

  • Comments: This is my fifth Half, and my fourth Royal Victoria Half. It's a lovely course, very friendly, and easy to run. Fabulous. Maybe next year I'll try the Full. Training for triathlons this summer made this race so easy. I had tons left in the tank and if that knee hadn't gone, I'd have been about 1:57 I think. I improved my time 22 minutes over last year, and moved from the last 100 of my age group to the top 100 of my age group, and I'm OLDER! Yay me. Last year's pace was 6:41; this year's was 5:47 including the walking I did in the last two km. I'm pretty happy with it, overall.

  • Comments: The post race activities didn't really exist. As far as I could tell, there were drinks/food, but that's about it. The cookies tasted cheap. Better cookies required! Overall thought the race was great. Had the post race stuff been better I would've given it a 5/5.
