Reading half marathon is apparently the third most popular half marathon in the country. It is usually run about a month before the London marathon so is a good training event for that one. The route in West Reading via Russell Street, Tilehurst Road, Liebenrood Road, Bath Road and Coley Avenue means that part of Reading is cut off whilst it is on, so the only thing to do is to go and watch. This is the junction of Tilehurst Road with Parkside Road, where there is a traffic island to prevent right-turning traffic. In previous years, the only other times when this section of road had so many people was on Reading FC home match days at Elm Park, which is behind us.
