Race details and logistics
The half marathon is a hilly road course through the historic town of Hastings with a generally downhill second half and a seaside finish on Sea Road. Detailed route maps, including GPX files, are available. The Mini Run is for ages 7 to 16, runs after the main race has started, finishes at a different location, and awards medals only to junior participants. Parents are responsible for supervising children; parents may choose to run with younger entrants or arrange a meeting at the finish.
Prize money is offered for the top five men and women, with amounts from £100 to £500, and a £1,000 prize for breaking the course record. Roads will be closed until 13:00 on race day. Included for entrants are a race programme, a bespoke finisher brass, an accurately measured course, a virtual goody bag, and finish line goodies. On-the-day entry for the half marathon, subject to availability, is listed as £45.
Parking is available at St. Leonards Academy, about an eight minute walk to the start/finish. West St. Leonards rail station is about 800 metres from the start/finish area. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
