The hills were killers though, particularly the last one - twice!!

In short: Fantastic race!
In full: Hadn't really trained for this, so that prob explains why I found it a bit 'challenging', but absolutely loved it! Great course, organisation, freebies, etc, etc, etc.
Shows how races can and should be run!
Will def be back next year.

In short: Just the one hill!
In full: Was taken by surprise by the hill - but the clue was in the name I suppose! Wind made it very challenging from 4-8 miles, but really enjoyed it! A special thank you for the 2 girls at mile 11 who are definitely in the running for world's most enthusiastic marshalls!

2010 Hastings Lions Half-Marathon

In short: Why did I forget about that hill???
In full: Second time here, and 5.30 quicker, so must be doing something right!!! Either that or the magnificent crowd support makes you find another gear!!
The best half I have run - from great organisation, fantastic crowds, to the marshalls and scouts who were outstanding!
Big question for me: Why can't Brighton learn from this? It wasn't just the fact that the weather was better, but even the parking was only £3 rather than the £16 we got stung along the coast!
Can't say anything about toilets etc as was in the pub before and after so all great as far as I'm concerned and will definitely be back!
Well done and thank you to the organisers and all concerned!!
