2012 Coastal Half-Marathon, Portsmouth
 | | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 60% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 100% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Loved it - back again next year
In full: Second time running this race, and as others have said, very muddy and the wind particularly in the last couple of miles was challenging. I wore road shoes which added a bit of extra challenge, still managed a PB somehow! Back again next year - well done organisers and everyone else involved. If you want a big city tarmac marathon then this isn't for you. If you want decent scenery, a bit of mud, gravel, shingle and some tarmac, give it a go!

In short: friendly event, great scenery, well organised, can't go wrong
In full: Second time I've done this, and it really is a lovely low key race. You're pretty much guaranteed of finishing in the top 100, and all the money raised goes to a good cause (a local hospice I think).

In short: Excellent first running - will do it again - thanks for organising
In full: Really enjoyable, but very muddy in parts - added to the fun but not to the chance of a good time - I think, if it's dry, this could be a fast race. Friendly marshalls, nice route, definite one to do again.

2009 Dinas Head 4.8
| | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 40% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 100% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Lovely low key event with stunning scenery and 'interesting' hills
In full: Really enjoyable low key event (no memento), friendly & efficient organisers at which all were welcomed. I finished near the back (not many hills to practice on in Portsmouth), but great fun, even with the steps and hills around the Pembrokeshire coast path, and with scenery like this, it doesn't matter what time you finish in!
Definitely worth doing if you're on holiday in the area - and guaranteed PB material - how many other 4.6 mile races are there??
