In short: lovely race shame about the massive t-shirt
In full: Excellent race and really pretty scenery with very good organisation. I was really thrilled to receive a medal AND a technical(!) t-shirt but what a shame the marshall was handing them out on the finish line and didn't bother/didn't have time to size the runners - I ended up with a huge t-shirt which I can't use..........not a problem usually as I just pass them onto my son for a night shirt but today the t-shirts were technical puma vests so one I would definitely have kept (and one he wouldn't have been seen dead in never mind aslepp in)! Please be as generous again next year but maybe we could collect them in the hall or somewhere away from the finish line instead?

In short: What a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning
In full: Am a local girl but have never been round Eynsford and Farningham - how lovely are they - very picturesque. Legs still aching a little from that last, unsuspecting, hill! Will definitely be there again next year.

In short: Lovely scenery, nice mix of up and down hill sections and well marshalled
In full: Decided on the morning to get out and support a local race, very glad I did... Cracking race through pretty villages on nice quiet roads, and all done by 9.15... Lovely way to spend the early part of a sunday morning

In short: Fantastic! Really great race with lovely scenery.
In full: My first bash at a race dominated by club, rather than charity runners. Much more competitive as a result, but still had a welcoming atmosphere and was in a stunning setting. I will definitely be back next year.
