In short: Flat out and back and out and back with one real hill on each leg. Great weather. Fine selection of cakes at the end. Good race to watch the leaders because of the overlapping course.

In short: A few hiccups at the start, but soon sorted themselves out. Loved the tea and cakes at the end. A good first event.

In short: Flat course poorly laid out....one big hill which you run up four times
In full: Seafront half marathon sqeezed in to 3.5 miles of sea front - lots of 180 degree turns and two way running for virtually the whole course....You cross the start finish line 6 times before you actually finish - On the flip side there are free cakes at the end and plenty of water stations

In short: The start was poorly organised, but marshalls were great. Ideal course for spectators with many passes of start/finish.

In short: A little disorganised, no proper start line or start (ready, get set, GO!!!). Route was ok first time, got a bit boring passing same spot on 4th occasion. Room for improvement I feel.
