In full: Well Organised and great weather/scenery, hills were normal for a Heathfield Roadrunner and I got a PB by 6 mins! Great to get my medal from Kelly Holmes even though i was in the 'over 2hours rather steady catagory' and a good crowd at the finish.

In full: Really excellent half marathon. My first time in Tunbridge Wells but will definitely sign up next year. Marshalls were fabulous, very friendly and encouraging. Great in terms of refreshments -water stops and jelly beans/jelly babies, gel stop. Was brilliant to get medal from Kelly Holmes - very memorable day !

In short: For my first half marathon, this was amazing!
In full: The weather was an absolute gift, given that the forecast the morning of was still calling for heavy showers, cold sometimes gusty wind and grey, dull-as-dishwater typical British Winter-cum-Spring weather. What I woke up to was blue skies, some sun, crisp fresh air, and a bracing but not breathtaking cold breeze. The 2:20 pace runner was very good. I was pleasantly surprised at the course - daunting, yes, but not impossible. I came in under my target at 2:13:37 and am so pleased with all the support we had whilst running. It was amazing!! Thank you so much for a perfect first half-marathon experience!!! Would do it again!!

In short: Brilliantly organised, nice course, very friendly and great atmosphere
In full: Thank you to TWH for organising one of the most enjoyable races I've done. The organisation was flawless, lots of marshals, traffic control, lots of people on-hand at the water stations etc. The course is undulating and the mile-long hill mid-way is tough - but the number of people out supporting along the route is amazing and helps take your mind off the pain! Receiving my medal from Kelly Holmes was also a bonus :-)
This is a brilliant event. Thank you to the organisers supporters and marshals.

In short: Awesome, even had Dame Kelly at the finish awarding me my medal. Sleek organisation, cheery marshals, just need to flatten out that hill and it would be perfect. Thank you TW Harriers, you should be very proud.
