In short: Very well organised. Enjoyable run.
In full: Very fast course. Exceptional organisation. I like that the organises have already thought of improvements for next year starting and finishing at a better location.

In short: Excellent flat course around quiet country lanes, excellent pb potential! Finish needs to be off the main road for runners and spectators safety though.

In short: My first 5 mile race: Midkent5@ stapleford in 44.04, not bad. Good flatish course through the countryside, I even overtook a few people!
In full: Nice to finish in the club house with some refreshments "warming down".
