2012 Kent Roadrunner Marathon
 | | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 60% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 100% | | Organisation | | 100% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Great organisation and atmosphere, fantastic marshals and support for first to last finisher
In full: This was my first marathon, and I loved it!
I picked laps as I thought if I really really felt I couldn't go the distance then I could drop out easily enough. Well even with the "hill" that got steeper each lap I completed the course. Lovely new tarmac, great support from other runners and of course a PB as it was my first, very pleased to finish in under 5 hours! I booked my place for next year the same day of the race...and even got an individual email with my own split times! FANTASTIC!

In short: Race good, expected the hill...GREAT Marshals!!
In full: Good organisation, plenty of facilities....refreshments expensive!
Very disappointed with the cheap medal, not even a date on it... more like a child would receive for a fun run! Goody bag?? cheap little hand towel and a mars bar. Could do better.

Had no intention of racing, just wanted to see if I could do the distance!
Managed to finish within my goal of 3 hours...just lol That was with stopping for about 5 minutes waiting to get over a stile/gate and also stopped and ate/drank at every station and a far bit of walking due to the wind.

In short: Good challenging, will be back to beat those hills!
In full: Nice race, good scenery once fog cleared.
Nice to have HQ with showers, toilets and refreshments available for spectators.
Will be back next year to beat my time.
Would have been nice to have a bag to put the water, fruit, juice and towel in at the end, but nice to end with arm full of goodies
