In short: A well organised event with great support from the marshals!
In full: My 4th time running this event, and another PB!
Great facilities, well organized. I agree with everyone else, there are so many bins along the route, there is no excuse for the liter that was being thrown along the grass verge.

In short: A tough, challenging Marathon, but enjoyable & memorable one.
In full: My first Beachy Head Marathon, and it was as tough as I expected. The conditions were terrible and I felt sorry for the walkers.
The marshalls and spectators aswell as the ladies dishing the hot food at the end were amazing. Thank you.

In short: Great race, tough course
In full: I did enjoy this race although I found it really tough. I was okay until the bogs of doom at the end, then my legs couldn't take me any further!
Glad I did it, as felt I had achieved something and made a change from my marathon training, but did find it really hard.

In short: I enjoyed this one!
In full: Well I enjoyed this one. I do agree with some of the other comments, re organisation at the beginning, the toilets and pens I had problems with. I also got annoyed with some of the relay runners, especially the ones whizzing past me coming up to the finishing line, imitating "flying like a plane" - they only had to run 4 miles and some of us were suffering!
That said, I got a pb, knocked 17 mins off my last marathon, with a result of 3hrs 35mins and have qualified for London next year!
Thank you to the marshalls, their support aswell as the spectators around the course was brilliant!

In short: Challenging course, very well organised with friendly marshalls.
In full: This was my first off road event, so I found it extremly challenging.
The scenery was fantastic, the course was well marked out and the marshalls were great. I found that the other runners were all very friendly and supportive too.
However my thighs are killing me and I am struggling to walk down the stairs without going backwards!

In short: Enjoyed my first half marathon. I thought the Marshalls were really enthusiastic and overall a well organised race. The only points I would make is, the start was quite a long walk and there were alot of people in the way at the finish.
