In short: A race for everyone
In full: Two PBs in my two races here so yea I love this one. It has something for everyone, from beginners to experienced club runners, is really well organised by Rob & the team & is good value for money as well as raising money for such a good cause in the RNLI. Perhaps a few more loos but many thanks to everyone involved today.

In short: Will be back!
In full: This was my first ever 'race' after only starting running less than 3 months before. Enjoyed the run, everyone seemed friendly. Wife and kids made to feel welcome at the start/finish waiting for me. (They enjoyed their bacon butties) Really enjoyed it and I will do it again.

In short: well organised, very flat
In full: Course is very flat, and there wasn't much wind so I managed to knock over a minute off my PB.
Race was well organised - good marshaling and times available immediately after crossing the line.
I like the medal too, and the goody bag contained things I'm actually going to use (water bottle, pen, gel).

In short: A good race
In full: Car parking was a short walk from the start/finish line and was a good warm up. No supervised bag storage, as promised and the queue for the toilets did get very long. On the positives though, a very nice course with beautiful views and nice and flat. See you next year.

In full: A special race - my first ever race 2 years ago with a close friend who is no longer with us. This race is very beginner friendly, with loads of support along the way, great views across the solent and well organised. Only negative this year was the queue for the toilets prior to the race was crazy! . . Thanks again for a fun, friendly race :)

In full: Very friendly,all round nice event. Well organised from the Start,and most of the course is along the seaside Promenade in Southsea making this an interesting run for both competitors and spectators. Ample signs and marshalls made the route very easy to follow,and this is a race with excellent PB potential,fast and flat.I will be back...for the lollipop at the end if nothing else(and the nice "Blinging" medal too) :) !

In full: First time for me, I think this is a very good race for beginners. The route is very nice along the seafront and dont mind coming back along the same route. Nice medal and the drinking cup and pen useful! will be back next year

In short: Poor weather but good race
In full: The route on a fine day offers a lot of PB potential unfortunately this year the weather was horrendous. Good organisation and helpful marshals made the race a pleasure and one I would look to return to next year. If the weather had been kinder this would have been a great race but all in all despite the rain I enjoyed it.
