The event started and finished in The Polegrove, and comprised four laps of a
circular route along the seafront to the De La Warr Pavilion roundabout, back
along the seafront and along the length of the lower promenade and back to The
Polegrove.
The Poppy Half was the fourth and final event of Bexhill Runners' 2009 four-race
series, 'The Battle of Bexhill', with all proceeds from the race going to the
Royal British Legion.
Thanks to generous donations from competitors, £720 was raised alone from
special commemorative race T-shirts.
There was also a single donation of £1,000 towards the club's charities from a
friend of Bexhill Runners and the local branch of Jewson sponsored the event for
barriers.
