I´ve never been to Liverpool before and was surprised how beautiful this city is! Absolutely worth a weekend trip to run a half marathon there. The race was the last chance to run this spring as all other races in Europe have been cancelled due to Corona virus. Online registration was possible until Thursday 12pm. British runners get their numbers via mail, overseas runners collect their numbers easily before the race – all well organized. The course is nice and mostly flat. There is just one long and quite steep incline exactly after 1 mile for about 0.6 miles. The rest is flat and takes runners from the waterfront (really amazing) through the city to a huge park and then for the last 4 miles all along the coast. Unfortunately the weather was quite stormy and we had to struggle with heave head winds at the coast. The finish is at the waterfront where the race started. I absolutely loved the atmosphere at the finish zone and appreciated that everything was so easy. Runners put the bags into busses where they picked it up again (not good for valuables as the busses are open for anybody. All runners got a nice medal as well as a Finisher Shirt at the finish line. 3500 runners were registered but due to Corona only 2500 runners started and finished the race.
