This event was so much fun! The weather couldn't have been better, beautiful setting. The 2:00 race pacer told us it was his first time leading a group, but he did a fantastic job. Constantly motivating everyone to keep going and keeping everyone advised as to what our status was. Fantastic guy!

Event information
The half-marathon is a 2-lap course that exits the running track and heads up the seafront, past the Venetian Waterways, before turning back and heading back along the promenade. The course runs past the pier and pleasure beach before looping around the monument to Nelson and passing the seafront amusement arcades on the way back to Wellesley Park and a lap of the running track before heading out on a second lap.
