Hastings Half Marathon makes long-awaited return

In its 38th year, the iconic race attracted thousands of runners and a huge number of people who turned out to cheer them on. The men's race was won by Chichester Runners ace James Baker in 1hr 10min 12sec while Hastings-based HY Runners ace Rachael Mulvey took the women's crown in 1.22.18.

In total there were just shy of 2,000 finishers. See a terrific gallery of pictures from the event in the video player above - the images were taken by Justin Lycett and Frank Copper.

Here's a link to all the results. And here is a separate picture special showing some of the key moments and some race action.

See more from the race on this website in the coming days and don't miss special coverage in the Hastings Observer - out on Friday.
