In short: It was grim getting out of the car with very strong winds which you were up against for about half the race. Also when they say there is a hill after mile 2, they mean it! As a first half-marathon though it was a very good experience!

In short: This was my first 1/2 Marathon. The Hill was a really killer which I wasn't expecting. Also the windy see front was hard going. Didn't set the time I was expecting, no will be back. Very good organisation and pleant of Marshals

In short: Good course along the seafront, beware the big hill!!!
In full: This was my first half marathon so not sure what to expect. As a fairly cold March Sunday spectator turn out was fairly low but there were some great bands and entertainment on the way. Beware the big hill though!! Steeper than you think!!!
