In short: Well organised race, made even better by a PB (despite the big hill)!
In full: Fantastic race, all down to the smooth organisation. The club seem to really care about the runners, and make you feel like you're wanted...as opposed to some of the mass city races I've done elsewhere.

Yes, it undulates - with a 1mi climb up Spring Hill to test the legs just after halfway. But get to the top in decent shape and the reward is what seems like a progressively downhill run for the last 4mi

So, cut to the chase - a PB at last! Knocked 6 mins off my previous to dip down to 1h35. Unfortunately a lot of runners are still missing official times (inc me), but this is a fault of the timing company rather than the race officials

In short: Nice to have it back on the calendar
In full: An enjoyable run through the Kent countryside, with a few testing undulations along the way. The crippler at 10mi forced me and my running partner to adopt a run/walk strategy (even with an on looking camera! We’re no heroes!) but I still dragged him along to a sub 2hr PB.

The map on the website didn't really give you a full appreciation of the route to be tackled, so here is something I knocked up before the race http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/129279965

In short: A Hot Hot Hot 10k!
In full: With an 11am start it was always going to be warm, but the marshalls were encouraging, plenty of water available during the race, and a few sugary snacks to nibble on at the end.

All in all, a nice friendly 10k
