In short: Always one of favourite races in the calendar
In full: A pleasantly varied course of road and parkland and with just moderate and fortunately short hill. Good atmosphere on the village green at end. A bit of a shortage of Results and I am not sure I agree with the faster runners being allowed to collect two trophies for being in the first 3 overall & also collecting a Veteran one too.
But an excellent event and I shall be back

In short: Jolly.
In full: This is a happy friendly low-key 5 miler that is unmissable. Good pre-race atmosphere on the village green, then up past the farmyard to the start.
A varied course takes you along quiet lanes to the new village then off-road into the mostly shaded country park (excellent viewing points over the northern Weald and the Medway valley). One short sharp incline, a little bit of softer ground then generally downhill for a mile and a bit to the finish by the village green.
Local character (and characters) and the general Hashers' vibe make this quite joyful. A PB every time I turn up here. Medals are usually the best.

In short: Harvel pulls it off again
In full: Been back several times now and I like the course, the atmosphere and the fact that it's on a Saturday. Harvel is the Kent village that time forgot, so there's very little traffic, some chocolate box houses, a vilage green, pub and cricket pitch and that's all. Support it next year.
