Superb event. First Half Marathon and loved the whole experience. Well organised, would definitely recommend. Gary C

So well organised, there were no queues in the event village. The course was a lovely run along the seafront with fab marshals who helped my keep going to get a pb! Danielle H

Decided to do the 1/2 last minute and loved every second of it! The run along the promenade made for a fast and enjoyable run. The start and finish in the stadium was amazing as there was music going on and the crowds were out supporting. Lizzie S

I really enjoyed the run. Good atmosphere. Plenty of support out on the course, especially from other runners. Mick O

Great run for all abilities, fellow runners and marshalls very supportive, nice flat course, brilliant medal. Tracey G
