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 Tilehurst Road where a small bank gives a good view of the event. This is about the eight mile mark and some competitors are starting to struggle.
