An amazing event, well organised, well sign posted, plenty of water stations, happy and helpful marshals, and beautiful views of the coast on the one day this year it hasn’t been windy 👍

Amazing event, well organised, well sign posted, excellent placement of water stations and marshals, beautiful views out to sea, and the first day this year that the wind hasn’t been blowing a gale!

I had a great time on Sunday, the boating lake as a HQ is a nice calming start/end.
The weather was great, beautiful sunshine so people were out cheering us on, thank you to the girl with the power-up sign! Oh and 500ml water bottles at the water stations, 3 times as well, didn’t really need to bring my vest.
Running with the sea air is so different to the urban runs I’m used to in and around Manchester, it’s better.
My 3rd half marathon ever and the best in terms of toilets, clean and well stocked, pre and post run, it makes all the difference.
Right now this is a small event, < 300 participants but I can see it growing and will be back next year.

Good race, but maybe at the height of summer and on a really hot morning more water stations probably are needed. I get the staffing issues but yeah more water stations are needed
