In short: Loved it, despite the niggles
In full: I live in Brighton and I love it. Yesterday was perfect weather and looking out over the sea/beach was lovely. It's a bit of a shame that the course was measured wrong...but on the bright side, I needed a slightly longer run to fit in with my marathon training AND I got a PB for 13.5 miles! Having sorted out the finish line (a problem in previous years), perhaps they'll measure it right next year!

In short: Well supported and fun, but pb potential seriously limited by number of competitors (and starting in the last wave of competitors behind a guy with walking poles....)

In short: A lovely run
In full: I was a bit daunted when I first arrived at this race to find that 90% of people seemed to be affiliated with some club or other and were busy setting up their garmins. (Am not affiliated with a club and haven't run with a watch for a long time). That said, all the people who I spoke to whilst running seemed friendly enough and the marshalls were fab and there were plenty of them. The course was a bit challenging but not too bad and all on tarmac. I managed to come in in under an hour and a half but was still in the bottom 25%, so this is probably a run better suited to more experienced runners rather than beginners. Still, I had fun and would do it again!
