Hastings Half Marathon: 63 pictures and video from the big race

There was a superb atmosphere before the big race, during and after as runners and supporters refused to let rain stop them recording fast times or cheering on family and friends. Management was taken over this year by race specialists Nice Work after founder and long-time race director Eric Hardwick retired from the role.

We’ll have a race round-up in due course but if you were at the event – either as a runner or spectator – check out the video in the media player above or the gallery of pictures by Justin Lycett on this page and the ones linked at the bottom of each page.

And if you were one of those to complete the race, congratulations! See this coming Friday’s Hastings Observer for coverage.
