Please could you advise if there are toilets near the start line? Thanks

Steph E4th Mar 2019

Hi there, just to let you know runners will be able to use the toilets at the Riviera Hotel, which is near the start. Enjoy the event!

I read in the Beacon that there was a walking category for the half marathon but cannot see this option online. Can you please confirm.

Steph E4th Apr 2019

Hi there, Just to let you know that you are welcome to walk the half marathon and you can just enter the normal way on the event page above. For the purposes of traffic management timeframes and marshal safety the maximum allowable time to complete the Sun to Surf Half Marathon is 5 hours. As the event will start at 3pm this will mean all runners and walkers need to be finished by 8pm. Best of luck!

Rosie 4th Apr 2019

This is the first time I have entered something like this. How serious do people take it? Is it open to all abilities or mainly for competitive runners!

Steph E4th Apr 2019

Hi there. Just to let you know that these runs are open to anyone of all abilities and there is usually a big mix between people who take it super competitively and people who are just hoping to complete the race without even looking at their time at the end. Best of luck!

It was well organised although it was the first 10k Ive done where I had to avoid members of the public.

Brilliant race with great views! Registration area was far too small for 300 odd runners but other than that well organised

course - venue postcode needed to be more obvious, no online course map, first 1km+ was unexpectedly up and down a steep grassy undulating hill organisation - parking was a shambles really, bib numbers slow & chaotic, no signs to say where registration was, mo start line, no loud hailer, flat course was good though, marshallling good, no discernable finish line, no notice of what queue at finish was for, no timing given, distance was actually 6.4 miles (this isn't unusual on races I admit, medal and tee-shirt handout was very slow (it helps if tee-shirt size is already on your race number) atmosphere - yellow weather waning but if cancelled on day I suspect no information on cancellation would get transmitted to runners before travelling to venu Price was quite good at 15 and I hope the charity got something from this - thanks

The organisation of this event was a joke! Nobody new where the start was, no signage, most people thought the finish would be where we started from, Not!! I asked a Marshall on route where or if there was a water stop, they had no idea. Great venue for a run,poorly executed. Not good value.

Lovely scenic route but the start is awful. Please look at changing the start so that the awful 2/3 laps around the green is avoided. Everyone I spoke to agreed the start is so disorganised. Last year we did 2 laps but this year ended up doing 2 1/2 but I'm sure others only went up the hill twice as opposed to 3 as it wasn't clear at all and there was no Marshall at the top to check with. Also I'd rather more money go to charity or have a better medal than the poor quality t-shirt that will just gather dust in everyone's drawer. Otherwise it's lovely running along the sea front.

Would have been good to receive our times on the day or for that evening. It was very hard with the wind. Definitely take your own water as there was only 1 water stop and that was at 6k not even half way.

I found the start really tough to the point I nearly gave up! But the rest was ok. I would have liked a bigger t-shirt, it was too small so will not be able to wear it which is a shame as I paid the entry fee like everyone else. XL next year please.

First ever event... gale force winds and tricky start, everyone struggled its grass and its not flat!... but after that it is.. great scenery, could have been better controlled at the start but as I'm a newbie I'm not sure if this par for these events..thoroughly enjoyable as the race went on.

Was poorly organised . What I feel would help if there was extra direction in the car park. The small car park was quickly filled and the cars kept coming in with little room to manoeuvre.A detailed map of the course would assist runners in knowing where and how the route played out. Especially for the first bit, running around the green including the direction of flow. For the hot drinks at the end, to save time the runners number could be used instead of raffle tickets. Less expensive and already issued. We hadnt been given a raffle ticket but found out later that they had run out. A great location for a run , prob need a few more volunteers to make it a great event.It was my first 10k and I enjoyed the run and the atmosphere was great.
