Good day out despite the weather! Good atmosphere and event team worked hard to keep morale up amongst runners!However odd decisions were made with the course layout. Some narrow paths which became very congested and made for slow progress. Addition of running up the hill was unnecessary and didn’t add anything.

Weather was awful which affected the atmosphere a bit and took the pleasure out of the run!

Excellent course, flat and fast, one short hill, plenty of space to overtake. Few pebbles near the start washed up from the shingle beach. Plenty of marshals for check ion and good sound system for announcements. Friendly and happy atmosphere. Try for better weather next time!!

Great run along the seafront. Although the weather wasn’t great the spectators came out and cheered us along. Definitely do it again and pray for better weather

Great route to run. Worth reminding 10 and 5k that 1/2 marathon going on and looping back hence keep to left (as 1st Marshal bit aggressive with his shouting)! Think drizzle may have dampened the atmosphere but still good to be there! Lots free parking and 4 toilets a bonus! Having a sign of the run is good for photo opportunities (and advertising for you) - or if there we missed it!
