In short: Fast PB course
In full: I ran 4 10ks in this series and one 5k race. All very well organised and great, relaxed atmosphere. Got steadily faster at each race. Pleased with technical tshirt for entering at least 3 races.

In short: Well organised, good value races - friendly atmosphere
In full: Did 4 of the races. Can be a bit boring doing laps, but its a challenge in the dark (although majority of course floodlit) and always a good friendly atmosphere. Good venue and facilities. Nice technical t shirt (rear design) for those who did 3 races or more!

In short: Welcome addition to running events in Kent
In full: I signed up for the 10k series to check up on my progress for a marathon in spring, and four laps of the Cyclopark offers an undulating but not taxing course, with great potential for PBs (trying to keep up with all the club runners knocked four minutes off mine!). One minor criticism, a few hundred metres at one end of the course has no floodlights and is therefore very dark, but to the organisers' credit, they made every effort to install some temporary lighting so we all knew where we were going.
They were trialing chip timing in the January race, which is a welcome addition and only adds to its good value.
