The Claremont Mini Run
This is a highlight of race day. Our 2km Mini Run is available for those aged 7 - 16 and will take place at 10:55 after the main race has started. It is a point to point race with the finish in a different location from the start. Parents are responsible for supervising their children and ensuring that they are safe. To this end, parents may want to race with their aspiring racer especially if they are younger. Please note, only our junior participants will receive medals. Alternatively, parents may want to arrange for someone to meet their child at the finish line.
The race will start on the upper promenade level with breakwater 29, opposite Moreton Mansions, approximately 200m west of Hastings Pier. The race will finish at the main Half Marathon finish (on Sea Road).
