In short: 3rd Time in Five years but i wish they would address water station locations
In full: Being very local third time done this in five years have no other half marathon race experience to compare this too it is hard with the three especially gore Hill its well organised my only gripe is the water stations they seem to be tightly grouped first six miles then we have a long run and then gore hill without one surely the water station can be positiond at darenth country park entrance i gave up on this hill for the third succesive year all my hill running which is a lot was forgotten
you do need a drink before this not after in the grounds of fleet estate
Sponges were nice touch again and thank you to the kind lady who gave me some jelly babies at darenth thank you all in all will be back but please address gore hill issue i think it costs everyone at least 2 to three minutes

In short: As efficiently organised as ever
In full: This was my 3rd entry seemed easier this time well organised good marshalling and support plenty of water stations just a shame that field was so small it was a bit flat due to other half marathons being run on same day did feel lonely in the lanes but thanks again to dartford road runners for the smooth organisation hope to see this race back to full capacity next year and in jan as it was rescheduled also would like to thank Dave the race organiser for replying personally to my mail a nice touch being local (ish) will always try and support it many thanks

In short: Scenic Challenging a very good race
In full: Done this two out of last three years my only gripe is ONE water station on a 10K???? and placed on downhill slope after 5k the gradual descent at start and the hill are a killer a water station should be placed at about the 2.5 k mark where it is flat begins to descend this is stationed on the sevenoaks 7 run so not sure why the rotary club cannot do also
on funnel it was bunched and i would thought runners would want a drink rather than a medal which i have many of!!! other than that of course i would do again but drink stations NEED an addition especially for the back runners as am sure they struggle with first 2k who wouldnt
