Next Race: 23/02/2025
Fusion Sports Centre, St John's Road, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN4 9TX
A Scenic route with a good running crowd!
Challenging route but worth it
Nice country lanes, fast downhills, tough climbs. Great test of spring training fitness. Good range of runners makes this an event with a community feel to it.
Well organised & enjoyable.
Only improvement I can think of is the photos - the start photos were 80% at the front so all the same runners. I gave up looking for a finish photo - it would have been easier to look under finish times!
Fun and challenging
There’s a great atmosphere and the hills are a fantastic challenge.
Friendly popular half, mainly flat through picturesque countryside
Great way to spend a Sunday morning
Hilly but beautiful
Friendly and welcoming event, with some beautiful scenery, but challenging hills. Great to have the sports hall for getting changed and staying warm and dry before and after the run. Particularly appreciated the marshals at the Portaloos keeping the queue moving quickly!
Always a must-do, whatever the weather. So many enthusiastic marshals and great support along the way!
Downhill at the start so killer hill to climb after
A tough but enjoyable course
This is a tough hilly course but one of my favourites.
Scenic, friendly and well supported.
Hilly but great fun
The perks are what make the TW Half Marathon... bands, beer and free burger at St John's Yard. Please keep those going!
I hope you like hills...
This race is, in a word, cruel. I've run other races of all lengths, including 2 marathons, and i don't think I've tackled anything this challenging.
You need to practise hills, it's not just undulating, there's a mountain in there somewhere. I was warned and I still didn't fully comprehend it, so here's what you need to know.
There's a perfectly normal amount of undulation throughout the course, it's tough but manageable. Then at the halfway point, there's a hill that goes on for a mile and a half. If you can conquer this, nothing will stop you, but it may break you as it broke me.
Also if the organisers are looking for feedback: The speaker system in the race village was deeply distorted, never understood a word of what the nice team making announcements were saying.
Well organised, great course, would run again!
Well organised enjoyable race
The marshalls are brilliant, so supportive and encouraging!
Well established organised event with great community support
Hilly …..but take on the challenge !!
