In short: Excellent local event
In full: My third time, I love modest sized, well organised events like this. Closed country lanes perfect for running on, moderately undulating course with one hill, perhaps not an all out PB course but still quite quick. Nice array of post race snacks and a clubhouse for the awards and relaxation after. Thanks to all organisers and marshalls for a great day.

In short: Great rural course, well organised, and I got a PB.
In full: Although on an undulating course it starts at the the top of a hill and ends at the bottom of it so there is a good chance for a PB. Good facilities at start/finish. Time zones clearly marked at start area.

In short: PB ppotential, fast course, friendly, loved it!
In full: I did this run barefoot and managed a P. I was surprised as early on in the race as there are many runners on narrow roads, there gets a bit of congestion but it soon thins out.
But his was a fantastic run. Well done to all involved!!

Congratulations to the organisers of this event. Everything run like clockwork in a lovely relaxed atmosphere
Loved the closed roads in the countryside.
An excellent event for beginners or those more experienced racers.
Marshalling was excellent too.
Nice medal along with water, fruit and chocky bars awaiting at the end.
Great fun with a great turn out from members of Ashford Tri Club.
As they say -'I'll be back'

In short: Great Venue for beginners. Very well organised. Narrow lanes make it difficult for a PB.
In full: Hats off to the event organisers. They did a fantastic job! My first race and what a lovely venue for it. Found the roads a bit narrow for a PB due to the number of competitors.
