In short: Well organised pleasant race
In full: Very nice small local race that was well organised and without any major problems
Good course along seawall so very flat but fairly narrow in places and slightly uneven.
Markers in miles for some reason rather than KM's
Very good value and well worth doing

In short: Flat, scenic route, off raid for most of it, nice course
In full: This is a flat course but is not a PB course due to running on grass and the sea wall. It's very well organised, bottled water, PA announcements, tea etc. The other factor that makes this a slow course is the wind! the Canvey Island wind!!

In short: Nice run mainly along sea front
In full: I liked the race and will run again next year. Credit to the Rotary Club for their organisation. The only improvement I would make is to have a physical start line as I was unsure when to start my watch. Just a white chalk line will do!
