Well organised and very well supported by locals, especially at the finish area. Plenty of water supplied plus coke, jaffa cakes and jelly babies on the final lap. The marshals were encouraging and helpful plus the course was well marked. Jess L
A windy and tough race. It was harder than I thought but everything was well organised from water stations to marshal. Wing U

A thoroughly enjoyable race from start to finish. It’s a lovely beach and the run route made the most of it. The event staff were all amazing, clapping and cheering for everyone, the spectators were also great, some had jelly babies…. I will definitely run again next year, it’s was a very welcoming race and I would recommend it to anyone. Brett L
