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.

In short: Ouch, that last hill hurts!
In full: Really enjoyable morning and although I've rated the PB potential low, I beat mine by 1min 45secs. The off-road bit seemed quite easy to me but that hill up to the A20 made me go all wobbly. Look foward to coming back next year.
