In short: Beautiful scenery, good atmosphere!
In full: As always beautiful picturesque course. Good marshalls. Challenging with some hard hills.
Not a great medal this year even if it is supposed to be the Roman Villa!
Done this race 3 times, and will continue to do this one.

In full: First timer, Iwas hoping for a personal best, having been told that the last couple of K's were downhill. Where did that hill come from??? spent the downhill section recovering. Having seen what image was chosen for the previous medals.... Is that where the romans used to change for the race?
LOVED IT!! see you next year.

In short: Course is very scenic although there are a lot of inclines so it is probably not good for a 1st race although if you train well on hills you can achieve a personal best as I did. Good mix of club runners and fun runners with a nice atmosphere. e

In full: My 2nd year and it just gets better! Took me all day to work out the piccie on the medal was of the Lullingstone Roman Villa (currently closed for renovation) - not the most scenic of views, but I guess it was a local shot. Marshals very encouraging. See you next year!
