In short: Well organised, fairly flat route, good PB potential (unless it is windy!)
In full: Organised by the school and they do a very good job, the most water stations I can remeber on a half. Good atmosphere aided by the shorter runs and number of yougsters these attract. Course is flat but one long stretch along the coast tests the patience, particularly on a windy day.

In short: Fast and flat but boring out and back route along the promenade
In full: This is certainly a PB potential course, pretty flat and straight but a little boring as a result. Large field and lots of people with over ambitious time estimates can make for a hazardous first 1k. Parking and traffic this year was a disaster and with no toilets available at the start it's unlikely I'll go out of my way to do this again.

In short: Good varied field, undulating but potentially fast course, good marshalling.
In full: Friendly atmosphere is aided by 2 loops on the course where you are able to see most if not all the rest of the field. Bit of a walk from race HQ to the start. Course can be quick but is be a bit narrow and twisty in places.
