Firstly can I say I had a slight foot injury and I wasn't sure if I should take part in this run, decided too and thought I would drop out if I felt the need, because of this my prep wasn't the best and I struggled towards the end but even so this was a good run, well organised and scenic with the course ran along the beach front. I have read varying information about it being flat, hilly etc. The course starts with a two lap loop that takes you over the start line again then onto the longer two loops further down the promenade this is where there were inclines but the majority of the route is flat. There were plenty of water stations around the course and I noticed that they were being collected quickly to prevent them being blown onto the course. At the end I collected my medal (chunky medal to!) water and chocolate bar.
