In short: My 1st 10k & talk about baptism of fire!
In full: Very very muddy and narrow in places making overtaking difficult and no KM markers which was unhelpful but friendly crowd and very well organised. Challenging course, made me yearn for a road race! Loved loved loved the medal and t-shirt though. So glad I did it.

In short: Such fun! Not as much mud as i was expecting.
In full: Not too serious tear around the Kent countryside. Tight in places which made passing difficult but it was always going to be difficult to post a PB anyway. No water stations but who really needs a drink during 10k's? So, in summary, get out there, get muddy and enjoy.

In short: Good race but thin paths make overtaking difficult. No distance markers to assist in pace setting.

In short: Muddy but FUN :)
In full: The Tarts n Trouts had a dodgey start to this race as we sat on the M20 not sure we would make it today. We arrived just after the race had begun....we had a great race even though very muddy......It didn't dampen my spirits when I fell over in the mud....the raffle at the end helped as 3 members of the Tart n Trouts took home prizes. Bottle of wine to be consumed tonight lol I will be back next year but wearing trail shoes lol :)
