The Event
The South Coast Half Marathon, 10K and 5K take place on Sunday the 9th of March in and around the town of Seaford in East Sussex. The course is lapped and takes in the scenic views from the seafront. The South Coast Half Marathon is the perfect forerunner to the London Marathon and is aimed at all abilities, whether you are a beginner, experienced or professional in running, the race guarantees large crowds to cheer you along! If the Half Marathon is not for you, then the South Coast 10K or the 5K take place on the same day, over the same course.

   
  The Course
The run starts and finishes on the seafront close to Seaford's Martello Tower and is one of the most spectator friendly run courses in the UK, it is great for spectators and guarantees a fun and relaxed atmosphere. A large part of the course is very flat along the seafront itself and has beautiful views of the sea and the cliffs. The run finishes along the Esplanade to the cheers of the crowd and is a great weekend or day out for all the family! All entrants receive the quality official race T-shirt and there are prizes for the top 3 male and female in all races as well as first place age group prizes in the Half Marathon and 10K, as well as general spot prizes.
