In short: Good as ever
In full: Despite all the warnings of snow and freezing winds it turned out to be a dry crisp winters morning- ideal conditions.
As always from the Harriers fantastically well organised, and this year there seemed to be much more musical support- from a jazz band in Penshurst, numerous drum bands of varying ages and a brass band near the end, thanks a lot, added to the atmosphere

In short: Brilliantly organised, well done for first time round.
In full: Everything went like clockwork, well done to all the organisers. The course is undulating but no real sustained difficult hills, nothing like its sister half marathon in Tunbridge Wells, let alone Hastings which another contributor commented on or the Bewl 15. It was unseasonably warm but high hedges for most of the route provided shade. Several seasoned runners did comment though on how tough they had found it.
And Dame Kelly to put your medal round your neck!
So well done and thank you for putting this race on, doubtless the organisation will get slicker with more experience and its success will continue.

In short: Superb organization
In full: Very efficient organisation from entering on line to seeing the results posted in the village hall minutes after finishing, with everything else in between.
Only problem was the mud in the two car parks, my hopeless rear wheel drive car could not get into either..

In short: Absolute madness....best race of the year..
In full: 10 hills in 10 miles, the first so steep you need a rope, mud everywhere..plus being fairly near the back what wasn't mud to start with was after the first half of the pack churned it up. Weather miraculously good after a week of rain.
Well marshalled and organised, absolute madness for anyone of average ability...fantastic race
