In short: Very friendly and well organised. There are a couple of decent hills on the course so it's one to run for the scenery not for a PB. Definitely do it again.

In short: Excellent race but killer hills
In full: Very well organised, friendly atmosphere. The start was a bit narrow but there weren't too many people to cause a problem. It's fairly hilly but still a quick course. I'll definitely do it again.

In short: Good race let down by the late start
In full: The only thing that lets the race down is the late start. There's a very good atmosphere, the finish is well organised and the goody bag has all the right stuff, but why can't we let late comers start late? They have a chip after all.

In short: Outstanding! 600 furry friends running, jogging, walking and whooping round the City. Demand will be even higher next year so enter in advance.

In short: I never realised how picturesque Dartford is! Nice undulating course, well organised and the weather wasn't even too cold. Definitely do it again next year.

In short: You don't get many chances to run round the british home of F1 so take this one if you can. The course is undulating but fast. Could someone bring a chequered flag next year please?!

In short: More of a race for club runners than beginners, but worth doing if you're near the east end.
