In short: Bit of a challenge but a great race
In full: Good to see Kelly Homes start it and a much better start now that it is on the main road. Course was great even with Spring Hill which tends to go on a fair bit!
Nice medal this year as well.
Only thing I would change is to cut out the Langton loop and try to include a bit of the Town Centre for extra spectator support but otherwise great race and will be back.

PS. Just noticed the results are up already and before 3pm on the day of the race - very impressive!

In short: Very well organised - could do with moving 7m water station as it's hard to drink when you've just run up Mt Everest!

In short: Hill? What hill?
In full: Only joking......! Yeah that was a killer hill. But beautiful scenery and well organised. No PB but a good FLM training run.

In short: Challenging and scenic
In full: Pity the weather was only a few degrees better than last year when it was snowed off. It was difficult to get to the start due to a war games convention at the school next door and cars for this event. However I left about 15 mins before the start and was there 3-5 mins before the horn went. On the course everything was fine, even that hill, except a squeeze through the village at the top where too many parked cars plus an ambulance on course made the runners cut to single file. It was a shame to come back to rural Tunbridge Wells after the Kent countryside.
