In short: Well organised, enjoyable run
In full: Wasn't sure what to expect given some of the reports from previous years, but I found this to be a very well organised event. A varied route with the challenging hill early on, long stretch of promenade and the loop around the marina. Would like to try it again without the biting wind straight into the face for miles 4-8 ...

In short: As a first timer to half marathons I really enjoyed it
In full: Great organisation, good toilets at start and easy parking. Mixture of abilities, not off putting for a beginner to this. Good atmosphere round the course not loads of supporters but enough to help. But few too many people wandering around on the seafront with dogs and small children that weren't taking any notice of us runners. Thanks to all those involved and the marshalls who stood in the cold, I aim to be back next year.

In short: Great Hill
In full: I don't like road races much so this wasn't a great race for me. Dull as ditch water. I tend not to look at the scenery as I'm running but you can't really knock Eastbourne for the sea. It's great. Enough runners that there's someone to have a bit of a race with. Plenty of water stations. Chocie bar at the end was a nice touch. ;-)

In short: A lovely race but the biting wind made a pb virtually impossible. A good atmosphere and it's where I live as well!
