In short: Lovely day!
In full: Generally well organised, start was not as chaotic as I expected, could do with more time zones. Only criticism is of the office. There was a problem with my entry,the telephone number given is a voicemail and nobody calls back! Fortunately problem was sorted on the day with no fuss.

In short: Gets bigger and better every year.
In full: This is an excellent race with great coastal views. The only criticism is the start area which was better organised than previous years but is still congested. Apart from that, great! See you next year.

In short: Excellent Event Yet Again!
In full: This was my 4th Bournemouth Bay Half Marathon (sorry could only find the 10K event on here to leave feedback).
This event is always extrememly well organised with so much happening on the day. I like how the races are staggered so there are plenty of people on the course at once.
As the event continues to grow, the organisers must have a look at the start as the line up for the half (and the 10k by the look of it) is getting extremely congested along the narrow stretch of promenade by the pier.
That aside, the atmosphere is great, the weather always seems to be perfect and value is incredible.
I'll be back next year.
