r/Superhalfs

Hi there! I will be running the Valencia half at the end of this month, and I’m struggling to find information on how the cut-offs work. Usually I would be absolutely fine within the time limit, but I’m currently pregnant and depending on how I feel I might have to run/walk. How strict is the 2h45 cut-off? I looked at last year’s results and saw some people with finish times of 3+ hours but then others with similar times saying “out of time”, so how does that work?

Hallo,

Habe heute von den Super Halfs erfahren und würde nächstes Jahr gerne einige laufen.

Leider sind die meisten schon ausgebucht.

Wie funktioniert das genau mit den Charity Spots? Muss man da irgendwie Geld sammeln oder einfach nur für die laufen oder was?

Danke für die Aufklärung schon mal!

Boa tarde a todos. Em Abril tenho a minha primeira SuperHalf em Praga e queria pedir conselhos a nível de como organizar a viagem etc.
Sei que também há quem as faça através de agências de viagens, se alguém me pudesse explicar como funciona e quais existem aqui em Portugal também agradecia!

Hi, I’m curious if everyone books the flights and accommodation when you won the ballot or wait till closer to the date?

I’ve received the ballots for Lisbon and Prague, and have been tracking the flight tickets but it’s quite expensive for a return from Edinburgh/UK.

Now that I’ve run Copenhagen and Cardiff I realize that I’ve been disappointed in both Expos and the communication that has been put out by the event organizers prior to the race. Copenhagen was substantially better than Cardiff in terms of both, but still not great.

Cardiff expo didn’t even have a single vendor selling shoes prior to the event. Nothing from the big brands of Nike, ASICS, Puma, New Balance, or even a local running retailer. It feels like the strangest location for superhalfs to have chosen.

Is every Superhalf like this or are some of them substantially better? I am comparing these to Valencia Marathon, London Marathon, and even large 10k or 15k in the US. I thought before starting my Super journey that the race organizers had cherry-picked some of the best races of Europe to choose the 6 races that they did. I now question why they chose these races versus some of the large half’s throughout Europe.

Overheard someone from the SuperHalfs staff in Cardiff saying that 3 more cities will be announced soon, one of them being Warsaw. Anyone with some info which other cities are candidates for a possible extension?

Hey everyone,

I have a bib but unfortunately got injured in the last week and will probably not be able to run the race. I know that the official option for transfer is no longer available. Does anyone know if there is still a way to swap. I have someone and I don't want my bib to go to waste!

Thanks in advance

Good luck! and have fun!

I will be on the course to cheer people on, after finishing my super half its only right that I return the crowd support favour.

Tell me - what is your country, and what word (in your language) should be shouted for encouragement?
