Hastings Half Marathon ran by some anyway!

Well, many runners decided to run the Hastings Half Marathon 2025 anyway, despite it being cancelled (blog). I only found out when I looked at the Hastings Photographers facebook page, and discovered the many photographs posted there!

These first 2 photographs from Hastings Photographers were taken by Marie Richardson.

I presume many runners decided to complete the half marathon as they had trained for the event so went through with it anyway, and others ran because they had already raised money for charities. Apparently, some ran the actual full course, though likely not in the road for some parts, and others made up the distance running along the seafront.

The third and fourth photographs, again from Hastings Photographers, were taken by Brian Bailey. Many thanks to Marie and Brian, and great respect to all those who ran the 2025 Hastings Half Marathon! I wish I'd known...
