2006 The Coastal Marathon
| | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Maybe | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 20% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 60% | | Value | | 40% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 40% |
In short: Amazing course, good atmosphere, thoroughly enjoyed it.
In full: Did this one last year as well, not quite so muddy this time, but just as challenging. Atmosphere on the course was great, and whole experience very invigorating. Still think that £20 for a half is a bit steep though!

2005 Plymouth Half-Marathon
| | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 60% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 100% | | Value | | 100% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Brilliant organisation, great race, tough finish.
In full: Must be the best organized race around. Plenty of helpfull marshalls, and start and finish run like clockwork. Free food and drink at finish with no queues! Other races could learn a thing or two!. Good crowds around the course, especially on hills at Saltram and the finish, where you really need support. Could not recommend it too highly.

2005 Sussex Beacon Half Marathon
| | Overall score | | 60% | | Would you do it again? | | Maybe | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 60% | | Value | | 60% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 100% |
In short: Feel a bit mean after reading other peoples ratings, lots of people obviously enjoyed this one. Not a favourite of mine though.
In full: Organisers were very helpfull in sorting out my late entry.Also thought marshalls were supportive and friendly, but did feel that start could have been better organised..a bit of a free for all. Also found it a bit strange running past bemused looking tourists on sea-front. Not many supporters on route compared to other halfs. Find out and back courses a bit dispiriting myself, but I know that others like them. Will probably be back next year, despite the moan!
