Hastings Half Marathon 2026: 242 more great photos from race day

More than 2,000 runners tackled the tough 13.1-mile course on a sunny day, while thousands more turned out to cheer them on.

Three of the first five men home were local, as are two of the first three women.

On this page and the ones linked, we have another 242 photos – many taken by Frank Copper at or near the start.

If you ran, you may well be able to see yourself in one of the photos.
