Lots of fun!

I've already recommended it to Maidstone Harriers for next year. Great run.
Lovely scenery, through lanes and wooded track, a git of a hill with an awesome downhill to end the race. Awesome! Can't wait for next year. Oh, and the medals are genius!
Anne Crawford
Lovely countryside route....
....but beware the hill just over halfway through! This could be tough for beginners to run up, but maybe by then a walking break is welcome.
Large roughish field for car parking, but I wonder if it was wet this might mean cars getting stuck.
I forgot my phone and money so annoyingly couldn't purchase a cake afterwards - they looked delicious.
Not on closed roads but I only met one car. However, the driver looked annoyed and could have slowed down a bit more to let us pass more comfortably.
I prefer the new route as there is no longer the last horrid bit along the A20.
Great weather this year - perfect running conditions.
Great marshalling and encouragement.
Can we have mile markers for us oldies as well as km please?
Jim Ransom
beautiful yet challenging route with hills and trails
only one possible improvement opportunity , as it was not a staggered start , the early part of the race is on very narrow and uneven road making it a little bit of a challenge to get through a lot of people to the place you want to be in order to get into your stride. but great organisation, fantastic marshals , friendly home club 10/10
Jon Drake
Mostly runable but a tough hill in the middle
A great race and excellent marshalls but the hill just after halfway was a struggle
Gail Cox

Well organised, really supportive and friendly marshals and a nice (quite hilly!) route. Would recommend
Bryan Wilson
A run in the sun
I enjoy the evening races. I enjoyed the cake stands even more.
Always well organised and good medals by Nice Work.
Susanne Yoxall
Loved it!
Loving the new route.
Best of both worlds with the slick organisation you get from larger events but with a nice local, smaller event feel. Good, clear pre race instructions. Getting race number was easy. Great support from marshals. Car parking was easy as was exit from here after the race due to helpful high viz heroes. Homemade cake and really nice medal too.
Sue Sutton
Absolutely brilliant race, thoroughly recommended!
Really well organised from parking, to collecting race numbers to terrific marshalling and support throughout. Stunning route and perfect weather contributed to fantastic experience. Will be repeating next year.
Rhona Fry
Loved this event fantastic marshalling
Flatten the hills
Catherine O'Connor
Lovely course but tough!
Loves this run,( my first time) it was well organised and the marshals were brilliant. Big and only criticism is the lack of team and age cat prizes( I would have won both!) even a bottle of wine would have good
Paul Bartlett
Great Event
Please introduce team and age categories prizes - Thank you
Cat Gibson-Wood
