Great Yarmouth Seafront Half Marathon
Great Yarmouth Seafront Half Marathon is a flat half marathon in Great Yarmouth, UK, held each March. A road course along the Great Yarmouth seafront, finishing inside the stadium. A listing records only about 20 m of climbing, so it is close to pancake flat apart from sea wind. Early March on the Norfolk coast is cold and often breezy, typically 2 to 9°C. On a course as flat as Great Yarmouth Seafront Half Marathon, even splits are everything; the classic mistake is banking time in the first third.
