23 reviewsThe scenery was absolutely stunning! Great race for the first time marathoners. dgfdg
I signed up for this event with a small hope that I could run my first-ever marathon. It was a bit scary as I expected a very hilly route but in the end, the route was very enjoyable (Kent is hilly everywhere, haha), the scenery was beautiful, the atmosphere was very friendly with local vibes and I could not choose any better for my first marathon. Lucky plus - the weather was absolutely perfect!
Friendly and scenic
Well organised with plenty of marshalls and drink stations. Lovely medal.
One downside: not enough loos or supply of loo rolls!
well organised before and during
very tough but scenic course with great support from marvellous marshalls
Great views, great medal, great race!
Overall a really great race which gave me my sub 2hr half! Loved the medal design and the t-shirt, it has encouraged some of my running club to enter next year. Undulating course but the downhill finish was excellent.
Lots of water stations on the way around, which was much appreciated. A loo at one of the water points might have been helpful, lots of lads having a wee in the bushes, difficult to do as a lady! But otherwise, amazing scenery and we were very lucky with the weather.
A great event
Very well organised event, beautiful countryside, well marshalled, some hills to keep the runners ‘focused’, very enjoyable day out
Fun, friendly and hilly in the most beautiful setting
Tough course as a marathon 1st timer, but I knew that before entering. A lovely route and really enjoyable.
Would do again and recommend to others.
Really lovely run
Disappointing to have plastic cups at some water stations. Recycled ones better.
Great undulating course, I will be running at this event next year.
Shame about another Nice Work race delay, I've been to two of Nice work events this year and both starts were delayed by 10 minuets due to not enough toilets.... Frustrating!
Scenic, friendly and exhilarating
Only point i would like to make - need more parking!
Requires a second overflow parking area.
Apart from that - Brilliant
Done this event 3 time's now got my pb this year and definitely do this one again
So challenging-but do again next year
Loved this run and well supported and great marshalls always encouraging
This race is well worth doing - great scenery; superb organisation and marshalling; good value for money.
Stunning route, a mix of terrain, and organised to a T
Well organized. Very friendly and helpful people. Nice event - thank you. Will definitely do again.
Where the route cross over with other sections this could have been signed clearer. Especially where there was a water station.
Challenging race with plenty of hills, amazing people and well organised
Thank you
