Total distance: 26 miles 385 yards
The Organisers, The Hastings Lions Club, are putting on this unique ‘one off’ Event, to re-create the 1908 Hastings Marathon - for the same reasons - ‘The Poor and Needy of Hastings and to promote our Town’ All monies from event will go back into the Community. The route, for traffic reasons, cannot be the same, but by working with Police and Highways, we have re-created a route as close as possible to the original, also bearing in mind that in 1908 the distance was 25 miles, whereas in 2008 it will be the full 26.2 miles.It is hoped to have 1908 and 2008 Vehicles leading the Run, and encourage all 1908 activities and Attire. Runners must wear a High Visability over- garment, which will be supplied by organisers, and finish within 5 ½ hours.
Further details of the Event will be published at regular intervals on web site –www.hastings-half.co.uk.Entries can be taken ‘on line’ at www.sportsystems.net/hastingsmarathon
