We would like to extend a big thank you to Sussex Police for their support of our event.
While the vast majority of our community is incredibly patient, the police have been following up with and visiting the small number of motorists whose behaviour was found wanting. We really appreciate the police taking these reports seriously.
Community spirit is what makes the Hastings Half Marathon so special. Thank you to everyone who marshalled, clapped, cheered and helped keep the runners safe. See you next year! 🏅✨
🏃♀️ Well done to everyone who took part in last weekend’s half marathon!
The sunshine made for a fantastic event, and it was brilliant to see so many runners supporting such worthwhile charities. Thank you to everyone who lined the route, volunteered, or cheered from the side-lines, you helped make the day a real success.
From a neighbourhood policing perspective, we work closely with event organisers who carefully plan road closures to ensure disruption is kept to an absolute minimum. Despite those efforts, a small number of drivers chose not to respect the closures and caused difficulties for volunteers and participants.
We’ve received details from event marshals, of two drivers, that will be getting a surprise visit from officers.
A big thank you once again to the runners, organisers, volunteers, and residents who supported the event so positively. 🏃
