A good route

It was a good race. My only issue is that it was very congested at the start, so it would have been good if there were waves.

Great event

Came all the way from Derby. I heard about the race and wanted to expirience it in real time. I loved it and consider it as one of my favorite run. The whole team and volunteers had been astounding. Looking forward to next year.

Good event

Good event, though adding some music and a proper start/finish arch would put the cherry on top.

Junior race could be longer

My little one who is 7 y/o ran the junior race which was 600m - so not even a junior parkrun distance. He enjoyed it but said that he wanted to run further than to the cone and back. I feel like it could be much further for the younger ones.

Great 10k race

Can you send out the bibs for the children's race with the 10k next year? Only 2 people volunteering giving out the bibs and a very long queue with a lot of people writing their details on the back of the bibs on that table causing more congestion meant my kids missed the start of the race along with a few others. They ran the 300m down the seafront and back again, got their medal and said they never want to do another race again as it was boring :(

The 10k was well organised with plenty of marshals and supporters cheering us on.

Fab race

This is one of my favourite races but I wish it wasn't a mass start. Far too congested at the start resulting in lost time if aiming for a specific result. Please consider having waves please

1000 people and 10 potaloos not enough didn't hear a gun to know when the race actually started, people need to start the race in stages

Loved the fact it was flat so was open to all abilities

The path was so narrow it was so hard to actually run where you wanted too as barley any room to get past anyone

Flat and fast

Totally flat course; perfect for PBs. You can get boxed in during the first kms, however.

Great Race

Only comment would be the start could be better controlled, as spectators took up half the path!

Great coastal flat course

I would have preferred to see the start in waves. It was so busy it was difficult to weave between slower runners & therefore slowed me down. Also the results took a long time to become available compared to other events that I've entered with other organisations.
Great atmosphere though, fantastic support from the marshalls and locals, lovely medal and the freebies at the end were much appreciated

Nice race - good overall

Better bag drop facilities. Poor provision to leave anything - even when the finish line was in the same place as the start. No facility to leave anything - other than without supervision which is unsatisfactory due car keys etc etc

Very enjoyable race and great atmosphere and local encouragement

The start needs to be staggered in wave times as this was dangerous from faster runners weaving through the start and potentially tripping or nudging someone to a fall. More Toilets at the start please.
