In short: it felt almost all downhill how did they do it?
In full: Superb race to the normal "Easy Work" high standard of organisation, having googled the given post code the car parking was easy to find!
parking marshall, race marshall, finish line marshall..all superb... apart from the short gentle hill at 7.1k (my first 10k was stelling minnis, it has two mountains!) it seemed all downhill! how do they do that? it looks like i may have shaved at least 2 mins off my PB so it must be fast, with such a big entry there was allways someone to pace and race with, loved it........best get your entry in early for 2012

In short: The BEST one I have taken part in.
In full: Great orgainsiation and everyone doing a great job on the road as well.
Just a shame there is always at least ONE competitor that does not know what to do with the advance paperwork or website info for the event and cannot use a map to make sure HE knows the way to the event and start.
A&D & Nice Work Please keep up the good work.

In short: My first 10K road race and it was excellent.
In full: Well organised and a great route. If I was really to want something changing a little for the better it would be wider roads at the start as it was difficult to pass. That said, I loved the route and would like to see a summer race on the same route.
Cheerful marshals did a great job! Well done to all involved.

In short: Well-organised and a traffic-free scenic route
In full: A thoroughly enjoyable run through the Kentish countryside. I was psyched up for the hill at 7km which was challenging but not a killer.
Kudos to the organisers and countless volunteers- lots of fluorescent tabards made car parking and exiting a breeze!
Now, anyone know where the results are?!
