First Half Marathon

I did the Saltmarsh as my first half marathon. It was bit tougher than I thought mainly due to the wind but the support all the way along was fantastic and very friendly. So impressed with the medal which I will long treasure! Would not hesitate to recommend to others or run again in future years. Thankyou xx

Great race around the sea wall Very tough in the wind this time.

A marshall at the car park near the start would be helpful. Several people not sure which way to go to the start.

Fantastic but breezy

Very well organised, friendly staff and runners. Deceptively tough in the second half with the breeze. Very happy to finish !

Very well organised trail race.

Really enjoyed the event, which is well-organised and offers really good value for money. The course is mostly flat but the toughness will be dependent on weather, which is obviously out of anyone's control. You get lucky or you get wet! This year it was very windy, although thankfully not too much of it a headwind. Excellent medal and finisher's bag, and the aid stations along the way were some of the best-stocked I've experienced in any race. Would happily participate again and recommend to anyone who is tempted to give the event a go; everyone was really friendly and it had a positive vibe throughout.

Great

Nice race. I should have trained. I did get a bit lost. Did I miss the route or did the path disappear into the river? I Would recommend it, very friendly race.

Hard but very enjoyable

Well organised half. Stunning scenery and very friendly atmosphere due to the small size of this event (there were less participants than in my local parkrun). Narrow uneven path make it difficult and I would not recommend it to someone who hasn't done a half before. I like that you got the t-shirt before the run so you can wear it there and also the stops stocked up with salty and sweet snacks. The only problem I encountered was a flooded path. Was that due to the tide or did I miss a turn?

Loved it.

This was my 2nd time. Really enjoyable course, and the support at aid stations and finish is always so friendly. Super event, well done.
