Great day despite some poor weather conditions, organisers were clear and very encouraging to everyone involved. My first time being involved in one of these races and it's definitely something to add to my calander going forward and having more runs in the near future.

Very small event. Poor weather probably didn’t help encourage spectators. Very friendly organisers. Enjoyed running on the sand. Would have preferred running buff or T-shirt instead of a medal
