2012 Tonbridge Half Marathon
| | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Well organised,lots of parking,great support (especially in Leigh/Tonbridge) and very nice medal given out by Dame Kelly Holmes
In full: Organisation was very good from,race packs and info to parking and starting.Good facilities in K college so plenty of areas to warm up and lots of toilets plus good bag storage.Start area on Brook street was fine and most runners seemed to be in correct time areas.
Exceptional support through Tonbridge outskirts and leigh with church bells and brass band playing which was very nice to hear.
Wet weather conditions made race very challenging plus up and down nature of route which i personally found as tough as sister race in Tunbridge Wells but well worth it with quality medal given out by Dame Kelly at the finish.Would recommend and probably have another crack at it next year.

2012 Darent Valley 10k
| | Overall score | | 60% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 100% | | Value | | 60% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Very scenic,good early start,well organised but course not as fast as expected. Medal is unique but dissapointing with no Year/Date.
In full: First time attendance for this race and thoroughly enjoyed it as lovelly scenic course through Farningham and Eynsford valley.Liked the early start and was very well organised with parking close by and only had to wait a short time for portaloo.Running buddies had suggested this was a fast course and to be fair it was but the hill at 7K really takes it out of you and you take a few hundred meters at the top to fully recover.The medal was unique with the picture it but was basic with no date or year on it and not as good quality as previous years as i was told.Will do again next year to take on that hill again but a banana at the end would be nice next year!!

2012 Bromley 10K
| | Overall score | | 60% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 60% | | PB potential | | 80% | | Atmosphere | | 60% | | Organisation | | 40% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 60% |
In short: Local flat run with good standard of competition,medal,t-shirt,banana and water so good value for £10 and the distance was correct even though slightly over.
In full: An improvement on last year as the distance was over 10K (10.13)and organisation was slightly better but still a long wait to collect number from entry desk.I thought the route was better and going around the bank of the athletics track and out of the side gate into park was an improvement on going out of the main entrance.
Atmosphere was ok for me as i ran it with a group of running friends and you just had to avoid dog walkers and children on bikes/scooters on a few occasions around the park.In general not bad value for money for £10 and actually quite enjoyed the four laps of the park so will be back next year.

In short: Weather conditions were good,very good trail course,good standard of competition plus a god medal.
In full: 2nd year and enjoyed it again plus ran 5 minutes quicker as better conditions as course was fairly dry.Probably best trail race in the area as great scenery and challenging hills as well as lots of arshals and well mapped out with white flags and tape.I would recommend this if you haven`t done a trail 10K,you get a good medal and nice tea and cake when you get back to the club house.
