In short: For a quick January Jaunt, well worth it.
In full: Looking at previous reviews I was worried but as it was my daughter's first 'race'. I wanted her to get the T shirt, medal etc that we all lose interest in after a few years. We were not disappointed, fast course and fairly well organised. Not over exciting course but she did learn some new words from the footballers we were running around!! Could do with a clock at the end and the results were a bit slow coming through. Second daughter may try it next year, she needs to expand her vocabulary.

In short: Once again, wonderful weather and organisation
In full: The crowds and water stations were very supportive, weel done. The sprinklers and youngsters helping as well made the day. Dartford used to known for it's novel memorabilia, shame about the pony medal for the second year in a row (sort it out please)

In short: As usual H3 put on their excellent show!
In full: Sixth year for me and it never fails to lift the spirits with the atmosphere and slick organisation. I did not stop for a beer at the half way this time as I was on for a PB. See you next year Harvel.

In full: My first marathon so struggled at the end. The crowd and other runners were very supportive. The organisation was slick and professional. Well done. My legs did not like the grassed hill at the end but lifes a b**ch! Thanks for my first Marathon medal (of many I hope)

In short: Excellent PB on the day, got to go top of the list for favourite races
In full: Very slick and organised. Friendly marshalls and crowds. Glorious Kent countryside. Flattish with a couple of railway bridges to keep you on your toes. Nice touch with the coaster and medal. Good fun-run beforehand for the kids.

In short: Great marshalls, quite a few hills but wonderful run
In full: I liked the bag and the chunky medal. The hills were a bit of a surprise (getting on and off the coastal runs) but overall a very pleasant morning. Well done Thanet

In short: Well organised and friendly. Hills were expected so no problems
In full: The setting was great and organisation slick with friendly and encouraging marshalls. The hills were near the end, I was advised to save a bit for them so they were not too much of a trial. Shame about the mug! If the 'half marathon' bit had been more prominant I may have taken it in for a work mug......!

In short: Lovely run, helped by the weather,great marshalls
In full: What worries me now is that I will have to find a downhill race to get a better PB or train alot harder. A good race and I thought the beanie hat was a nice touch! I've bought my lunch to work today in my GB Half bag as well

In short: Shame about the weather, but marshalls great and friendly
In full: It is a shame that organisers are still plumping for the cheap T shirt. Most people train in tech. gear so the shirts a bit of a waste (Ok for cleaning car in). Otherwise the whole event was exemplorary. Well done
