Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I didn't think of changing tents but indeed would be useful - i used the toilets at the restaurant I dined in post race.

Unless you are a sub 3 runner what does it matter what the gun time is ?

The route was rolling in places rather than hilly but that definition depends on your point of reference - compared to London, Abingdon & Amsterdam it's hilly Compared to Langdale, Sussex, Windermere & Cornish it's flat !!

Mind you I had real problems turning corners after 22 miles. Can we have a corner-y rating for races?

Normally, yes. Combine it with a kerb and you've got a recipe for catastrophe!
There was a kind of dog leg bit before you turned onto the prom proper from what I remember - ugh.

I hate hills but run Brighton every year, so I'd say it's not hilly!

Anyway, in for number six next year...

Six for me too next year. How many years is it for when being a an ever-present in a particular race becomes unique?

Apparently people were running across other runners and stopping at the start to take selfies with Paula. Might explain some of the congestion!
