In short: Excellent new race that deserves to get bigger
In full: Even though a combination of the extremely hot temperature and a tough, hilly course meant I recorded an all-time 10K "PW" by a considerable margin, I really enjoyed it.

It would make a great venue for a Kent X-C league race. The scenery was outstanding and the whole event was very well organised with a friendly, relaxed feel.

It needs to publicise itself more. I only knew about it because I live about 3 miles away (nice to leave the car at home and jog to the start - not so nice to have to jog back afterwards !)but I'm sure it could attract a much bigger field when the word gets around.

Think of it as an "Eridge Park" style race but over 10K and you can see the potential.

In short: Brilliant new event to the race calendar not to be missed!
In full: Congrats on bringing two new events into the Kent racing calendar. Stunning location usually not open to the public with the great option of a 5k or 10k race. Chip timing, changing facilities, toilets, and great marshalls and vibe at the finish line.
Thanks for a great day - I'll be back and will tell everyone to come!
