A fast and flat course around the coastal front of Blackpool... A great race for a PB and an ideal warm up race for the Blackpool Marathon or Virgin London Marathon. The event attracts almost 1500 competitors of all ages and experience and is a great spectator course for the family as it is a two lap course.

Great race, well organised and extremely friendly. Would recommend.....Did the Half Marathon in 2018
Just knowing it was going to surprisingly warm !Did the Half Marathon in 2018
Not really as the instructions were all pretty good. Parking wasnt an issue as parked close to the start/finish so didnt need to use the bag drop.Did the Half Marathon in 2018
No. Did the race last year, so well prepared.Did the Half Marathon in 2018
Location of the start line would have been better communicated. I parked at the north pier, but it was further down near the hilton hotel.Whilst i knew about the extra 5 for signing up on the day, this took the price to 28. For a half marathon, where the route didnt even cover the main attractions of blackpool, i felt this was excessive.Did the Half Marathon in 2018
Great day out fr my first half marathon, well organised.Did the Half Marathon in 2018
mainly flat with a slight up hill good water stations and gells to fuel. The atmosphere is what makes this a great place to run the crowd are very supportive and it's a flyd coast run so you know it's well organisedDid the Half Marathon in 2018
The hotel where I stayed the great western just across from the start line didn't know anything about the run or that it was in its 29th year?! If it wasn't for runners in kit they wouldn't have known. Funny that.Did the Half Marathon in 2018
