In short: Leigh village and Kelly make it great!
In full: superb race i found the hills a great challenge, Leigh village support truly outstanding BUT sad to report my timing chip/coil in vest number failed to trip the timing mat so i have had to email organisers for a guesstimate from hand written records (A BIG FAIL)worth the trip just to meet Kelly though!...

In short: more sun then fun but hey! I was there for the first one!
In full: This was the first coastal 10k for folkestone and it was hot, running back against an easterly breeze was a mixed blessing, the swarm of bees at sandgate made it exciting, the cooling drink marshals are life saving, and the lack of chips frustrating! but hey i enjoyed it... and i shall enjoy it again next year... if it's overcast and a windless day this is a pb cert... BIG THANK YOU MARSHALS..

In short: up hill, down hill, up hill, up hill, down hill, up hill... you get the idea?
In full: Scenic, but narrow path along the A20 was a bit dodgy for overtakes, Marshalls are the best so a big thanks to them, the long down hill home after 8 miles was very welcomed by me! great support from Maidstone people and glorious views across kent reminded me why i love to live in our great county

In short: My first Marathon, Another tick off my bucket list!
In full: TRRAC have done a fantastic job. In our budget tightening times to find a Marathon entry at this price, with this level of support and organisation is incredable, the stunning views of the Kent coastline, the happy banter and support of other runners is all top drawer, its probably Kents best kept running secret but I feel once the word is out the few "on the day" entries will become a thing of memory! I was amazed at the level of support mustered up as Marshals and the manning of drink/gel stations, that must have been a logistical headache that worked so well on the day a BIG THANK YOU to TRRAC Commitee, Marshals, and sponsors.

In short: The one to bring your family, you run they admire the scenic gardens!
In full: A big THANK YOU to the house owner who kindly provided a cold hosepipe shower, i dont think i could have done it without you, can the marshall at dawes rd? junction indicate its all down hill now? as i kept something back not knowing it was all downhill for 2 clicks (apart from the last few hundred calf muscle killing metres!) well organised, nice setting, well marshalled, nice friendly french coach load of runners to ad to the mix and atmosphere...superb.
