In short: A well organised event in an attractive village
In full: This is a well organised event, held in an attractive Kent village, which has a pleasant community atmosphere. As Weald is on a hill the course inevitably spends most of the first 5km descending, leaving a long haul to the finish. The countryside helps to distract from the effort and the gradient is fairly shallow, except for the punishing slope just before the finishing straight.

In short: Difficult course but still had fun
In full: Being a beginner, I found this very challenging but ultimately rewarding and have heard the same comment made by many since. The marshals and locals were encouraging and the whole race was very well organised.

In short: Very friendly atmosphere - beautiful countryside
In full: I didn't run in the race but I know the area very well. It is a real village event in a lovely part of Kent. Many of the locals turned out just to watch the race and cheer the winners to the finish.

In short: £12 To enter, no prices for second or third
In full: Marshalls were half sleeping and the quick runners had to ask the direction at every crossroad. At one moment a marshall waved the traffic through right at the top 3 runners.
All in all, a completely pointless race, we may well just donate the race entry fee to the organisers and choose a better race, (there are plenty around that beats this one)
