Hastings Half Marathon Blog

The 25th Hastings Half Marathon, organised by the Hastings Lions Club, is
turning out to be one of the truly International Events in its History.

There will be World Class Athletes from Kenya, Burundi, Morocco, Ethiopia
and Australia, competing with Top UK Athletes.

But the Event is not all about Top Runners, it is about all entrants of all
abilities, doing their 'own thing'. From Charity Teams, like the Oliver Curd
Trust, with over 60 runners, who have already raised nearly £10,000, to
individuals who have their own personal challenge or reason.

There are two interesting battles between the first two men and first two
females in the Hastings Marathon in December, again going head to head.

Daniel Anderson and Julian Rendall have a revenge match, and Annabelle
Stearnes and Fi Powell will again battle to reverse the Marathon positions.

The Weather looks Good for Sunday, so come and see the Greatest Show In
Town.

Park your car and watch the race from any vantage point on the route. The
main A.21 and Battle Roads are open and not affected, and you can move
around within the Town. If you need to, start your car journey before
10.20a.m. or leave until after 1.p.m. please.

Also you can come to the Start/Finish area in West St.Leonards, or anywhere
along the Hastings Seafront and watch The World Go By.

Programmes will be available at various places and shops, and Information
centre.

Look out for the RAC British Touring Car Leading the Race, whilst one of the
Drivers-Stephen Jolly, will be actually running around the route.

Hastings is the place to be on Sunday.
