← ABP Humber Coastal Half Marathon

This was the first year of this race so we were all going into the unknown and it certainly didn't disappoint.

Registration was simple & straight forward. Runners were kept well informed throughout with regular emails from organisers. 

Baggage system was flawless. 

There was a friendly atmosphere in and around the place. 

The race itself started and finished on the sea front and was on a largely flat course. This course would have PB possibilities had it not been for a 2mile section. The path at around mile 8 was flat but the loose terrain made it very taxing on the legs. Other than that, it was pretty flat.

As mentioned at start of review, the race finished on sea front plenty of cheers from spectators. Crowd & marshal support was 1st class.

Finishers were rewarded with a top quality tech shirt, decent medal, tote bag, stick of Humber Coastal HM rock, water plus a token for an ice cream.

The free ice cream was a nice touch. 

In summary, it was an excellent race on a mainly flat course. The difficult terrain at mile 8 was a bit anoying but overall it was a fast, flat course and a great race.  

Would I do it again? Too right I would.

Thanks Cleethorpes for a super day.
