In short: Hilly and very wet
In full: The race was impacted by attrocious weather this year with large parts of the course flooded. Still its well organised, very hilly, people are very friendly. The water was undrinkable at 4 miles. Its always a challenge to do the Marlow - but its well worth it - though dont expect a PB.

In short: Scenic Race along the sea fronts of Thanet
In full: The revised course seemed tougher and more meandering than previous years. Friendly helpful marshalls. Water stops a bit of a challenge - not enough water and too spaced out. Certainly a pre London must
