Good value half marathon but no exclusive access to route
There were parts of this marathon where I had to wait for a car to go before I could cross the road, Understand it was mentioned in that we didn't have exclusive access on the route but this could have and should have been managed with the presence of race day volunteers. It is a good value half marathon compared to others and I enjoyed the challenge...but not that 'cheeky hill' at the end! :-)
Thoroughly enjoyable race. Lovely course, well marshalled. Would do again.
Not sure if anything could be done to the route, to avoid such a sharp hill at mile 12. Appreciate that there has to be some climb, but it does take you off your stride at a late point.
Very well organised race with very supportive & encouraging marshals and the drinks stations volunteers 10/10
Only downside….. pardon the pun… is the steep uphill in the last mile.
The end is hard with the hill, then the incline to the end.
The volunteers were fantastic! Lots of cheering, spurring you on. Good directions by them and mile/half way signs. Nice to run along the sea. Good event!
Great seaside run
The hill in the final mile is certainly 'the sting in the tail' they say but rest of the course is flat and pretty.
Very well organised
Course is excellent, mostly flat along the promenade. Organisation was as good as it gets. Friendly knowledge team, easy to collect number on the day, lots of toilets. I was slightly amazed at how good it all was.
I really enjoyed this event and will enter again.
Mainly flat; one hill at the end!!
Well organised, challenging course, great atmosphee
Beautiful course along the Kent coast
Fantastic views throughout the race and such a nice atmosphere. Will definitely return next year!
Excellent stuff
Great organisation, great marshals, great route.
It's a brilliant run, unfortunately my chip didn't register my time on the day which was disappointing. Maybe got damaged in the post.
Friendly and good vibe
This is a lovely little race, nice atmosphere, great support. The wind off the sea was challenging on way out but nice on way back. One of my favourite half's.
