A sell-out field of 1,500 runners is set to tackle the Poppy Half Marathon in Bexhill tomorrow (Saturday).

Organised by TL Sports Events, the seventh staging of the popular annual event will be held over a fast, flat course of three 7k loops, all on the promenade and nearby roads.

The race will start outside Coast Bar & Grill on De La Warr Parade and runners will head west along Bexhill seafront before moving onto the lower promenade. They will then turn and head back to the start via Richmond Avenue and The Polegrove before repeating the route twice more.
