Accepted Answer

You can view the route map and download the GPX from the 'Route Map' tab on the event page.

About the course
The race consists of two fast and pancake-flat laps along the Promenade and, with the right weather, fast times and PB's are still extremely likely. We ask that all runners keep to the left hand side of the promenade and take extra care in narrow sections and stay out of any cycle lanes at all times. This race carries a certificate of course accuracy.

Your route & marshals...
Your course will be clearly marked using large route arrows and directional cones, as well as being marshalled throughout. Please listen and obey all marshal instructions given. There will be a sweep marshal which will follow the last runner to make sure that no one is left on the route. All marshals will remain in place until stood down by the sweep marshal.

Other route users
Whilst there will be signage along the Promenade, please note that the race does not have exclusive use of the Prom. At certain sections, there will be other users including children, elderly, dogs and bikes. We ask you to be mindful and remain courteous throughout the race. The race will be well marshalled but we ask that all runners keep to the left hand side of the promenade and take extra care in narrow sections and stay out of any cycle lanes at all times.
