I'm thinking about running Eastbourne half as part of my 20 mile training run as it is a SGP event - it it hilly?

Is it chip timed?

Is there a good 7 mile route that you know that I could do after to get distance up to 20 miles.

There's one hill about 3 miles in and apart from that it's flat. The webiste is eastbournehalf.co.uk lots more details there, it is chip timed.

The finish is in a park toward one end of the seafront, the seafront is 3.5 miles long, so you could run that both ways to finish (though you will have already done that within the race)

Course is pretty flat other than about a mile in first half. You run up towards beachy head and back down again. Other than that it's pretty much seafront and harbour route

Thanks - that sounds great - could do a warm up pf a couple of miles then run out 2.5 and back 2.5 to finish the 20 miles. Do you think it matters that there is a break in my 20 miler of a few mins?
