THE UNWRITTEN RULE
The final stretch is made for a sprint finish. Do it!
πββοΈ THE RUN πββοΈ
This is a simple road run with a bit of old school seaside charmπ¦.
This takes you to the slightly more old-fashioned end of town. Itβs unmistakably English seaside β±οΈ and the Helter-Skelter is pure nostalgic joy.
Start slow and calm. Save some for the steady incline in both directions. Then let yourself go on the way down to the prom. Loop around the pier for them views - it would be rude not to.
THE PRACTICALS
π¦ The Doggy verdict: Lots of road running and narrow pavement sections.
β βThe Shoe Situation: Road runners
β β The Loos: Bottom of the Gangway slope and some on the pier.
β€ The Start: High Street
β The Finish: The Gangway slope
