The town was buzzing this morning (Sunday) for the 30th Hastings Half Marathon.
The crowds again came out in huge numbers all around the challenging 13.1-mile course to cheer on the 4,500 or so entrants in the popular Hastings Lions Club-organised event.
Kenyan star Boniface Kongin romped to a dominant victory in a time of 1:04:18, while lower down the field the numerous fun runners battled their way round to raise thousands of pounds for their chosen causes.
