Amazing sea views, undulating route, water stations and snack at the finish!

Plenty of loos at the start, smoothly run numbers/timing tag handout. Straightforward route, lovely marshalls, good sportsmanship from all the runners I came across,. Thanks for your excellent organisation

Great Scenery and route

Great out and back, some really good scenery and challenging hills.
the last few kilometres are a killer as you run past the finish line just to come back on yourself :)

Friendly and well organised event. A hilly race but with stunning views. I definitely would do this again!

A brilliant event with a great atmosphere

As a beginner its easy to feel overwhelmed with everything going on, but the event is so well organised and friendly I was on my own, and felt fine. 2nd event I have been to run by sporting events, and definetly looking forward to doing more.

Great run

Lovely run but lack of marshalls on way back even at turning points where you were unsure where to go.

Organiser comment:

We are very surprised at this. We had lots of marshals at all the key points who were in place until our tail runner went past. We would be interested to know if there was an issue we don't know about. Please do drop us an email so we can investigate.

Great atmosphere and well organised

Would have liked visibility of the 10k route before the event, could only find the half marathon. Possibly some more event stalls at the finish

Organiser comment:

Hi Paul. Glad you enjoyed the event. The interactive map on the event page show both the half marathon and the 10k. You just have to switch them on or off in the panel of the map. If you just want the 10k, switch off the half.

As always - a perfect Barry race !!

An enjoyable event

Only a slight glitch on the return journey from the bridge going to the finish. With the signage it was unclear whether to go round the left hand dide(where the sign was placed or straight through the middle. No marshal. I did the longer route and clicked 6.28 miles on my Garmin. I wouldn’t have wanted to come up short. But amazing event. Loved it and Overrun. Hoping they do others❤️

Hills hills hills

Great event, well organised and amazing scenery. Hillier than I expected. My only negative is, as I was one of the slower runners (2:35) I was on my own a lot of the time and was unsure occasionally of the route. Saying that I made it back without getting lost.

Good atmosphere. Lots of runners of all abilities.

Very hilly route. Also route was same on way there as way back. Personally I prefer more of a looped route, but understand this is difficult if start and end are same place.

Friendliest Race Ive Run.

Today was my last longer run before Brighton Marathon in 2 weeks. Every single runner cheered/well doned EVERY other person participating! It was so nice to hear & see. Marshal’s were fab & very enthusiastic. Great weather, well organised & over all a brilliant event! One of my Favs!. Amazing Medal & one of the most delicious bits of Carrot Cake eaten after.

Well organised event on a lovely scenic route

Distanct lack of distance markers along the course, especially on 10k course. Unclear on what path to take before a few hundred meters from final turn. Otherwise, a superbly run event. I appreciate a today's course would have required a lot of marshalls so bravo to those that gave up their morning - couldn't do it without them.

Hilly, windy but cheerful, supportive marshals all the way round

Good race apart from beach section

Section between Viking bay and dumpton gap is a pointless section. Other than that it’s a good race
