Beautiful but quite challenging - a unique race!

I went wrong at one point because signage may have blown in the wind and I think others went wrong too.

Excellent race, might be a little harsh for first time runners. Distance markers would help. Overall brilliant

Nice little challenge

Personally trial shoes seemed to be best

A more challenging run than the normal road runs

I agree that the route was sometimes tricky to follow and with runner spaced out there were a few unsure moments. But everyone was as friendly as ever and a sense of achievement in completing the race

Great Challenge beautiful scenery

Really interesting and different route. Friendly marshal's and runners.

Possibly a few more markers or marshal's would be helpful some long parts where the route wasn't always clear.

Fun, new, running challenge

Fantastic event. Something new and different. Enjoyed running on the sand, climbing up cliff-faces and wading through the rockpools! Good fun, but also a challenge as described. Would definately recommend. Lovely route and scenery. Nice tshirt and fab medal too. Just a few more marshal's needed on route- I already knew the general route as run regularly around Thanet coastline, but others were getting confused and needed directing.

Lives up to its name, it's a fun challenge

A fabulous run round the Thanet coast ideally suited to experienced runners with a passion for off road running

Lovely event, really welcoming as always. Loved the beach seats. The route was challenging and different but fun.

A few more marshals would have been helpful especially Viking Bay as we took a wrong turn due to an old sign from another event.

T shirts are a much better fit, thanks for taking on the feedback and sorting that. Medal was great as always.

A lovely beach run with beautiful views

Would possibly have more sand running towards Ramsgate and less running on the clifftops on the way back. A very enjoyable run, thank you

Brutal but fun

Maybe need a few more marshals at key turns as I and a number of others went the wrong way temporarily

A beautiful run along a stunning set of bays.

I am a local resident and pretty much run sections of this route daily with my dogs. It never ever tires and I can’t recommend it enough. The weather was a bit mean to us for the first time but on a calmer day the sound of the ocean gently lapping the shore makes this even more enjoyable. If it runs again, and I truly hope it does, I hope we get that calm day so you can experience that. Scenery is so good.
The course was good, it had some nice easy going areas along the sands but some good challenges thrown in with the odd hill and steps to push yourself on, a good balance of difficulty and recovery. Event we’ll organised, as always, and medal and t-shirt are quality. Do it, you won’t regret it.
