In short: Superb race but it's got too expensive
In full: I love this course, the organisation, the atmosphere. It's one of THE best half marathons... And I've just gone to enter for 2008...However £21 for an online entry has put me off. Maybe I'm a skinflint but I ain't paying that.

In full: My first ever half round my old hometown and I thought it was great. This was despite cramping up on the downhill stretch and hobbling over the line. Will definitely be back.

In short: Crowd support made the day well done Hastings.
In full: A tough course but what tremendous support almost pulled you up those hills. My first half Marathon so a personal best (of course it would be). Bottled water would be better but this would put the cost up. A great and memorable day ill be back next year.
