In short: A good challenging 10 mile run, scenic in places and well organised
In full: This is a small but well organised run, taking you along the entire length of the sea-front and back, via a broadly circular circuit that is repeated twice. Be warned, there is a #### of a hill on the circular part which is a real ball-breaker. Saying that the view from the top is impressive. Needless to say there is some stunning secenery along the seafront section also. The course is well marshalled and there's little chance of getting lost. If there was one slightly disappointing element it was the size of the field, a bit small at 203, which surprised me as Weymouth is not the smallest town. Will definately do this again next year.

In short: OMG - THAT HILL - TWICE - AARGH
In full: Actually the last two miles running into the wind was the hardest part. A really friendly, enjoyable race and despite the smallish field reasonably well supported. On a better day this race has PB potential.

In short: Hills, wind, lovely view around the bay
In full: Friendly atmosphere. Twice up the hill, then the last two miles against the wind made it a tougher than expected finish. Only problem was the amount of traffic, both cars and pedestrians. Had to weave through the bus stop queues and around the amblers on the seafront quite a lot.

In short: Good race!
In full: Was my first 10mile race and really enjoyed it. The hill which you climb twice was quite challenging and the last couple miles along the sea front seems to go on for ever.

In short: Enjoyable beach run with a couple of killer hills
In full: Challenging hills but still got a PB. good to know that last 2 miles are flat. Wasn't impressed with the hat as a memento but I guess it makes a change. Cheap parking was helpful as it meant a family day out to Weymouth. I will definitely be back next year. I must practice my hills first!
