In short: Very good event
In full: The second time ive run this race and I enjoyed it just as much. Can't fault the organization of the event. The only problem was the lack of runners. This was probably due to this being re-arranged and other events on the same day. There were a few occasions where it felt like I was out on my own! It's a shame as this is a very good race and I hope more runners enter next year.........I know I will!

In short: Laid back event this year but with the Kent countryside thrown in as a back-drop, why would you want to miss this race. Excellent friendly and encouraging marshalling, changing facilities, parking, bag collection.Will be back next year.

In full: A big thank you to Dartford road runners for persevering with the organisation of this race. Good value entry, plentiful parking and toilets, scenic undulating course, quality medal and perfect weather! Honestly couldn't fault it as a pre-marathon spin. Will be back.

In short: Excellent well organised friendly race
In full: I dragged Mr Tubbs along to this race who, although a keen runner, rarely enters races. Dartford Road Runners be proud! He couldn't find a single thing to moan about as the organisation of this race was excellent. We loved the good quality medals and the mug which was an added bonus. We will return!

In short: Great Mildly Challenging Course
In full: My first 10 Mile race since I started running, Happy with a time of 1:08. Great route with some lightly challenging hills to make it interesting. Chip timing would have been nice but understand reasons why this was not possible. Would certainly to this course again in the future.

In short: As efficiently organised as ever
In full: This was my 3rd entry seemed easier this time well organised good marshalling and support plenty of water stations just a shame that field was so small it was a bit flat due to other half marathons being run on same day did feel lonely in the lanes but thanks again to dartford road runners for the smooth organisation hope to see this race back to full capacity next year and in jan as it was rescheduled also would like to thank Dave the race organiser for replying personally to my mail a nice touch being local (ish) will always try and support it many thanks

In short: Good run, well marshalled and enjoyable as well as challenging Good quality medal and a mug!
In full: The marshals were great very encouraging even the lady after about 800 yards said well done!! I ran this last year and I don't know if it was the change of date again but the number of runners was well down which made for a "flatter" atmosphere but having said that I achieved a personal best for the distance which I am very pleased about. In closing whoever thought the mug was a good idea was right !! Great little touch

In short: Good challenging course; brilliiantly organised
In full: Brilliant race. Just enough hills to make it a challenge. Perfect conditions for running (about 5 degrees). The numbers were a touch low probably largely due to the race being postponed from January.
This race was organised with military precision (had assistance from local air cadets!) - from the car park marshalling, number collection and post race arrangements (water, banana, medal and mug). Pity about no chip timing but that wasnt a big issue for me. There were plenty of marshalls along the route who were brilliant. Not many public supporters/spectators but the marshalls made up for that.
Maybe the last water station with powerade/lucozade would be good.
Will definitely be back next year.
