Another brilliant H&T event!

An event of two halves- canal tow path & seawall - bleak but beautiful!
Really well organised event as usual from H&T. Fantastic feed stations - especially the water melon - with enthusiastic volunteers. They always go that little bit further to make sure you have a good run. Thank you.

A lovely course and great organisation... and the medal was awesome! Will be back to try the longer distance next year.

Provisions in the goodie bag were excellent too.

Absolutely beautiful scenery.

If you want to be at one with nature then take on the Blackwater Trail Half Marathon. Aid stations are first class and will help you through as you take in some of the finest countryside Essex has to offer.

Really enjoyed it. Friendly company the organisers were helpful

Would like more fruit at the aid stations, particularly if I was to do marathon or ultra. Okay for half marathon though.

Very well organised, friendly staff and a great route

The only thing I would improve is the printing on the front of the tissue. Only looks like it will last for one wear which is a shame.
Many thanks.

A sign from Baddow road car park could be helpful.

Great event by great people

Would recommend this event to anyone.

Designed for all abilities and in its organisation means all runners will get to know each other.

Fantastic, well stocked aid stations with friendly marshalls. I’ll be signing up for next year as soon as possible.

And I’ve not even mentioned the scenery!
