Nice flat course

Flat course with amazing coastal views

Great run - well marshaled but wave 1 was too large, was very congested along sea wall at start you didn't get to see/hear marshals at top of slope by church (where you go down to road, and back up again by the small casino) pointing out the metal trip hazard and some poor soul went down big time.

Great event. Could have started earlier but this was only because of the heat. Would do it again.

Flat and hot with lovely views

Great marshalling, easy to locate, ample parking. Could do with an earlier start as it did get a tad warm

Fab atmosphere

My first official run with medal (yay) after injury, love jogging with sporting events and marshalling, always friendly people.
Maybe cone could be in original place near the motor homes path for 2 1/2k so you don't have to go past the slope to the finish for the last bit, just a suggestion. Or turn left first top of slope.

Great run and super friendly for beginners

Only recommendation would be more water stations… we took our own water but due to the heat ran out.

Well organised event

I participated in the 5k event but unfortunately I had to go straight to work after, apparently I had a trophy for coming 3rd lady would it be possible to send it to me? I don’t mind paying postage.

Overall enjoyable

An age group 70 would be appreciated and would be a justifiable reward

Living in the Isle of Sheppey it's a run that has to be done. Great location, so much support and encouragement along the way.

Great experience

I would have loved to be aware of the exact route of the race passing the turn to the finish line and having to keep going was a bit of a surprise and made the last stretch a bit difficult...This said I know for nex time.

This was my first event ever, people were very friendly and the volunteers were amazing round the route keeping you going so thankyou

Maybe change the last part of the route as u can see the finish line from some distance but as you get to it you have to run further on and back again !
