In short: Great race but could improve
In full: Great course for PBs and the event has a great atmosphere. Could improve in the following areas though.
As was mentioned, far too few toilets for 3000 runners. I could see some folk having to dash to get to the start on time.
Secondly, from mile 11, there is a long stretch by the river with runners going contraflow and no barrier between. This meant that if anybody overtook, they ran the risk of impeding oncoming runners.
Will definitely consider this one next year

In short: Great race spoiled by a hopeless finishing funnel!
In full: The finish funnel was way too short for the number of runners. There was a lot of standing around in the funnel to wait for a tee shirt which caused a log jam. Just as well it wasnt cold

In short: Great Race but a bit chaotic near the finish line
In full: Starting and finishing on the seafront in the sunshine was great, especially for my first Half Mara, but the finish line was obstructed by milling spectators and in my case the pace car which decided to come to a halt for some reason in front of the line
