In short: Excellent in every aspect. They even arranged perfect running conditions.
In full: Would highly recommend, superb atmosphere, slick organisation, very useful goody bag. Perfect for a PB, especially in today's sunny, no strong wind conditions today. A truly great run. Thank you. I'll be definitely running it next year.

| | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 40% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: Friendly race, supportive marshalls, attractive medal, enough toilets, well organised baggage drop/collection. Really enjoyed the start and finish in the stadium, made a nice difference. Will do next year.
In full: Thank you to the marshall just before the 8km mark - really encouraged me when he told me last 2km all downhill. Kept me going!

2010 Run to the Beat Half-Marathon
| | Overall score | | 40% | | Would you do it again? | | No | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 40% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 40% | | Organisation | | 40% | | Value | | 20% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: Disappointing overall, won't do this one again. Run to what Beat?
In full: The Good - mainly downhill on the last 4 miles, very welcome. Bag drop off and collection was well run.
The Bad - poor organisation, tube delays so those who were on time had to wait 45 mins in the cold. Announcements about race delays not very effective. No warm up facilities/area. My first time at Run to the Beat, had expectations of great music all around the course, yet I only saw a handful of live bands on route, the rest was recorded music at a few places. I'm just glad I took my own MP3 player with my own music so I ran to my beat. My garmin also told me I ran 13.3 miles.
The Ugly - very expensive to enter, to be rewarded with a medal only was disappointing. A cereal bar and a bottle of water doesn't meet the £35 entry fee, together with £10 to park, it's a rip-off. Wish I'd dressed up as a Gorilla and run the other race in London today.

2010 Eridge Park 10 Trail Challenge
| | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 20% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 100% | | Value | | 100% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: My first time at this one, having read the reviews I was scared about the course - and quite rightly! Hills, steeper hills, even steeper hills, then a fair bit of mud. Almost lost a trainer in it. Super support from the marshalls, thank you.
In full: Will do it again, now I know what to expect, and can try to beat my time. Jelly babies and plenty of water stations were fab. Brilliant refreshments at the end, loved the cakes. Well done TWH.

In short: Hilly, muddy, friendly, hilly, hilly, hilly! A challenge, loved it. Great value race, excellent medal and goody bag. After 8.5 miles the mars bar was appreciated. Will run again now I know what to expect.

2010 The Mid-Kent 5
| | Overall score | | 60% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 60% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 40% | | Organisation | | 40% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Nice small field, flat and fast route - good for a PB. Two water stations, nice touch. A little confusing where the actual start was. Will return next year - a PB course is hard to say no to during the quiet running months..

2010 Dinosaur 10K

In short: 1st time for me and will run it again, a bit challenging in the middle but a lovely flat 4k run by the sea to the finish was a relief. Nice medal. My 4 year old ran the junior race and her medal and goody bag was super. Great marshalls, encouraging.

2010 Baileys Nissan Mount Ephraim 10K
| | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Maybe | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 60% | | Value | | 60% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: A pretty but quite up and down route, too hot for a PB but worth running. Friendly marshalls, nice touch with the free massage and spot prizes - I won a bottle of beer, thanks! A medal for next year please.

In short: Too hot to be running with an 11am start time, earlier would have been better. However lovely course, PB potential if cooler. Flat and fast. One more water station would have be welcomed on such a hot day. Thanks for the cider and the medal.
