In short: An enjoyable experience
In full: Very enjoyable, especially with the good weather on the day. The sound of the waves lapping onto the beach was tranquil. If you manage to keep jogging lightly up the cliff side zig zag path then you will overtake a lot of people who walk that section. Good quality T-shirt and medal. Stayed overnight in local hotel and I'm not sure what I would have done for parking otherwise because there were lots of entrants for the 10k and other entrants for the half, too.

In short: What a fantastic way to spend a Sunday morning
In full: Early start with the clocks going forward but well worth the effort. Sun came out, great run along the beach but the zig zag was an energy sapper. Will try the Half Marathon next year.

In short: Excellent race, fantastic weather!
In full: Sun came out for another fab Bay run. Didn't get my sub60 time, but that was the only negative. Great fun, but hate the zig zag!!
