Well organised and fabulous support along the route.
My only criticism would be the organisation at the start which was a bit chaotic. No announcement the run was starting and it wasn't at all clear where to go ie round the roundabout and back. Better signage and a loud speaker near the start where people can hear it would have been helpful. Otherwise, a great event.
A Dream
This was my first half marathon race. It was a beautiful course with friendly support along the way. Weymouth is a lovely place I had never been here before either- we would now like to come back for a family holiday.
Well organised & a great atmosphere!
Great event - 3rd year in a row.
I started at the front, but I would imagine for the people behind, it's not obvious.
The bit around the carpark had not even a cone or marshall to run around, so the corner started to get cut.
Marshalls were brilliant for 99% of the course.
I had difficulty getting to the finish line as it was poorly marshalled at this one point. Your just met with a mass of runners and it's not clear where you should go as there is a divide of cones also.
Blessed with amazing weather, the scenery is amazing also.
Medal is always good, but maybe a t shirt would be nice also.
But pretty decent well organised event.
Absolutely loved it!
My first time at Weymouth half marathon but I've ran lots of others and this one is up there as one of my favourites. My son’s 1st half marathon and he loved it.
Lovely route, well organised, will definitely be back.
Super event with wonderful views
The half marathon was well-organised and the route was super scenic. First half is more or less flat with challenging sections in the second half, a few tough short climbs but part of this wonderful iconic half.
It would have been nice to have a t-shirt option. Also, some type of nutrition at the end of the race. We all got a bottle of water, but something like a banana or small paper goodie bag like most races, would have been nice. A truly wonderful event. Please to come first in my age group as well
Great event
A bit of a chaotic start but apart from that the scenery is amazing and the marshals were, as always, brilliant. The course distance is usually short for this race but this year it was spot on.
Fantastic event
This was my first ever half marathon, I enjoyed every moment and can’t wait to take part again next year!
What an incredible event, first half Mara race and it was amazing
The event was incredibly well organised and everything ran very smoothly, wonderful atmosphere and very well sign postered and the marshals were wonderful, then you to everyone
Well organised event with amazing views!
Beautiful scenery, lots of Marshall’s and friendly supporters
Great event and very well organised
Brilliant communication from the organisers with route plans, timings, etc. Got my number in plenty of time and the race itself was very well planned from start to finish. The volunteers were great too, cheered us on in a very cold day.
Excellent organisation and very friendly
Thank you.
Great half and cool medals
This was my 4th time running this half . Love it and live the dino medals hope to run it for many years to come

Starts a bit too early
If i could make one suggestion it would be that it starts a little early. 8am does not really allow time for food and hydration. Our hotel did not start breakfast until 7 so had no time to get breakfast.
thanks for your feedback - we have to get all competitors over the town bridge before it opens to boats at 10am, so need to start this early.
Beautiful and Easy route for all levels
If I could make one suggestion it would be 'bring back the buffs'. These were such an awesome bonus to receive at the finish line and I wear mine from previous years all the time. Or have an option to buy one online with new designs each year.
Beautiful scenery. I love here and yet I felt like I was on holiday. Truly stunning. Great route and very well organised.
I would have expected a finisher T-shirt for the money paid. I would rather have that than a medal to be honest.
I ran the Half Half what a fabulous event
As I approached the split for the 2 events just before the Pavilion the runner
(2056) immediately in front of me had made the decision to pull out of the event so went through gap in railings towards finish area. I continued full course and on going through finish was told runner in front had pulled out. She congratulated me on being 3rd male back. Understandably I was amazed when looking at results to see he had taken the third place without completing either event. This will have put all of us back a position.
Excellent event and excellently organised
A big thank you to the events team and everyone involved - everyone for their encouragement around the course - thank you
