In short: Well organised race, glorious seaside location. One minor gripe was the police rather officious manner in telling runners to keep toff the road on the Overcliff Drive.

In short: Well organised. Pleased it was a 9.30 start as would have been very hot.
In full: I enjoyed the race but it is very annoying that people ignore the clearly marked starting zones and stand in the under 45 minutes section. They then block anybody else who has startec from the correct area.

In short: A good first ever race!
In full: My first Ever race, A good one to begin with. I was very green and unsure of what to do, the marshals were pretty good and helpful. The zigzags were difficult and too many walkers blocking the path made me have to stop which was annoying, could have been better marshalled at that point. Overall a fantastic first ever race!
