In short: A very well-organised race - excellent for novice like me!!!
In full: What a great race! First time I'd run it (only my 4th race) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very well-organised for a 'village' type race (thats not meant to sound patronising). Decent medal! And my daughter enjoyed the hot dogs/ice cream stands! Will definitely be running it again next year. Thanks!

In short: A nice jog through some lovely corners of Kent, scenery lovely in places
In full: A nice easy run on road and through a country park. There is a small hill 3/4's of the way through but its relatively short and not much time is lost if you want to walk it!!!All in all a great run as the emphasis is on fun, especially if you have Beer and Jelly Babies at the water station.
