In short: Good if you're good!
In full: My first half marathon ( and quite possibly my last lol!) and I found it tough! The scenery was very dull sadly made worse by having to do it twice. The grim treck along the sea front with only a massive sea wall for company was soul destroying! I don't think this is good as a first half as the crowd is non existent apart from about 20 people at the finish line! If you are half decent at running and not really in it for the 'experience' then it's probably a good one to do! The organisation was good, plenty of water stations and excellent marshalls. Not sure I'll be back for this one Blackpool!

In short: Very well organised - impressive!
In full: I really enjoyed this race! I was amazed by the organisation! There were free pre race massages, I was reassured by the large first aid presence and very encoraging marshalls. The weather was shocking on the day, but that can't be helped! The race was described as undulating, but there was only one hill ( which you visit twice) The finishing arrangents were great! I loved the little packets of midget gems and the t- shirts were super too! My only compliant is that the foot bridge thingi in the middle of the race caused a bottle neck which slowed everyone down. All in all a great race that I would be pleased to do again!
