Lydd Half Marathon & 20 Mile 2015

Weather turned out to be lovely again in Lydd, as per last year.  With the new 20 miler taking place alongside the traditional half marathon, the field was about double that of previous years, with many using the new race as marathon preparation.  One of the best races I've covered, with very friendly runners.  Somewhat odd that the race started in the road, rather than in the field, as was the case in the past.

Brett Lydd Half Marathon 2014

Glorious day to be out and about.  Felt more like summer than early spring and the weather couldn't have been more different to this time last year, when the Lydd Half Marathon was run under iron grey skies, with a bitter wind blowing after a major downpour.

Decent turnout again, over 440 finishers.  The only real down side was the number of cars, cyclists and pedestrians using the road back into Lydd, but I guess life ain't perfect ;)

Lydd Half Marathon 2013

The early heavy rain pretty much eased off in time for the race but the ground was still very wet underfoot.  The field was large, enthusiastic and friendly.  This was one of the best races of 2013.
