In short: Wet, windy but superb organisation - great race
In full: It's a challenging course - 1500ft of climbing, but the organisation is faultless - well they've had 50 years of practice!
One negative is the amount of traffic but with the relatively small field (300) this wasn't too much of a problem

In short: some cruel hills, nice waterfront views, would be better with more runners. Hopefully it'll grow

In short: A great run in the South, sun, sea sand and hills!
In full: Congratulations to the organisers, beautiful course (if a bit heavy on the traffic for the first 3 miles), faultless organisation and showers at the end. Loved it
