Which Half Marathons are most tolerant towards Slow Runners?

Lots of websites have results from previous years so you can check how many people got round at the same time / slower than you think you might. They also publish cut off times.

I'm a bit of a plodder (range from 2h28m to 2h40m) - I've done Cardiff, the great north run and Blackpool and all were great. I was one of the last at Blackpool both years but no where near last at Cardiff or Gateshead. The atmosphere at the GNR was just amazing but it's another bloody ballot and it's v expensive (c£50). I'm probably going to do Blackpool as it's cheap and I'm in the north - it's in February.

People are really nice and friendly - and in my experience are not at all sneery about plodders. But, if you are slow start near the back. Faster running PB chasers do get pissed off if they have to weave around people; also if you start at the back you get to overtake people who've gone out too quick which gives you a good mental boost when you're starting to get tired :-)

Liverpool Rock n Roll! Loads of support, great bands and great medal!

Ealing Half in west London is a great one - we've stood cheering on runners / walkers who are coming in at nearly 4 hours. They close the roads for it (which many of them like the Richmond Half don't). They do get people doing it very fast, but there are a lot of fun and charity runners, and there's great local support all along the route.

I don't really know, but I would look out for ones which offer a lot of charity or community places.
