In short: The Best Multi-terrain 5mile Run in the UK!
In full: This run has everything - a varied route through a lovely country park with beer (as well as water) at the drinks stations. Perfect for the seasoned runner as well as new comers. A brilliant atmosphere back on the Village Green - perfect for the whole family! Go run it!

In short: Best race in Kent, if not the UK!
In full: Well done HHHH - fab race. Chip timing has sorted the congested start out in the narrow lane. Great crowd support, especially at the end. Brilliant local friendly race with a great social feel at the end with all runners in no hurry to leave - must have been the beer tent? The medals are always good for this race but this year's one was even better. 10/10

In short: Another Great Year at Harvel
In full: My third time at this event and still think it is one of the best. Bought 2 newbies to running with me as part of the Tarts and Trouts team and they had a great time and loved the support at the finish. Well done to everyone involved in the event it was great and I think I got a PB! See you next year!

In short: Extremely friendly and enthusiastic organisation and surprisingly fast course in a picturesque village setting
In full: A great way to spend a Saturday lunchtime and as it's not a school night you can make good use of the beer tent afterwards :-)

In short: Harvel number 6 and a PW, but am I bovered?
In full: I was shocked to find that this was my 6th Harvel ranging from a 12th placed 29:17 in 2003 to 40:54 in 2010 after a bout of flu a few weeks ago. The course hasn't changed and although the field has doubled in size, it's still fine. The start is a little narrow for the first half a mile, but chip timing introduced this year has resolved any disadvantage that might have caused. About the only issue was that the promised (and previously provided) jelly babies failed to appear at the finish. Other than that - well done the hashers - see you next year?

In full: The first race I ever did and back yesterday for the fifth or sixth time. Perfect race for beginners as there is a good mix of abilities and the course is fairly flat with some great scenery and some welcome local support. HHHH have this about spot on, with a great atmosphere post race and some luvverly cold beer.... Not usually fussed about medals but this years was a real goody
Well done to all
