Grosvenor Gardens, Sea Rd, Grosvenor Cres, Saint Leonards-on-sea TN38 0BX
Great race
Organisation was fantastic as usual with nice work races, marshalls were brilliant and support on course was incredible. Lovely course and brilliant atmosphere. Only negative for me is I think it's a little pricey (should have done early bird)
My first in Hastings- well worth the drive from Germany. Also: fantastic support along the route, fantastic, so many families
Yes, 8 minutes from the car park to start? No way… 20 more like it.. smiley
My first 1/2 marathon brilliant thank you!!
Great race as always
Brilliant race all round
Not an “easy” half but the organisation, scenery and amazing support the whole way make this one my absolute favourite. And I love the tea and biscuits at the end!!
It was my daughter’s first mini Hastings half marathon as she is only 7 and she was so happy with how it went.
It’s very well organised and really happy as everyone seemed to have a spot at the finish like to see there children complete the race.
She is still buzzing at the end of the race day and can not wait to do next years already.
The best road half around
Toilet provision disappointing - could not find portaloos - were they even there? Many runners wandering round searching and large queues at very small public toilet block. If portaloos were provided, they need a better and more obvious location or much better signage. A marshal directed me to public loos.
Super race relaxed fun event
This is a great event for all types of runner. As a slower runner I never felt hassled to run quicker and I had lots of runners after me. I took 2h 35m.
Very challenging run, the support is wonderful
Very well organised run, one suggestion rather than having all the debris caused by cups dumped by runners after water stations, have marshals further down from these with black sacks or bins to help with the collection, one water station just before Saxon Road did this and it worked very well.
A very welcoming Half Marathon for everyone that would like to do it all abilities
A very well organised race with a truly welcoming feel from the people of Hastings. So much support to get us all around the course from so many
Depends on fitness Anything is possible but there are a lot of steep hills to overcome.
Great atmosphere and well organised. Very supportive wardens all the way round and the support given by the locals is the best I’ve encountered!!
Excellent race, well organised and managed
Fantastic event, amazing public support
Many thanks to the organisers and the amazing people of Hastings who turned out in great numbers to give their support which makes so much difference to the runners. You are all brilliant
Nice scenic fun day for old and young experienced or not
Please more portaloos !! Poor sign posting on toilet facilities on the course
Well organised, well supported!
An excellent event. All really well organised.
All very well organised. It was easy to apply, the race number came on time and the quick publishing of the results is great and easy to use.
A good if tough course.
One huge thing for improvement - parking. If it’s an event of 3000 participants, worst case scenario is 3000 vehicles.
I don’t know what the answer is to this, but I’m sure the residents who had there roads filled with vehicles weren’t over the moon about it, and it’s not great for participants either.
Challenging but fun!
Really great event, brilliant support from the crowd, it flew by. 9 miles of hills, but if you do the training it isn't too bad. Only thing that would improve it would be various hot food stalls from local restaurants at the end. There's plenty of room in Grosvenor Gardens so maybe next year?!
Great race!
It was an amazing atmosphere and a very supportive environment we loved it!
Maybe the start for the mini race was confusing. Having said that it starts at the pier would have been clearer for us. But we love the supportive atmosphere and we will definitely be back next year!
