Only issues this time loads of loose dogs to get through on last mile x general public getting in way

Well organised with friendly and encouraging marshals.

Marshalls were great very encouraging all way around. A good event , next time less hills please :-)

Marshall expertly will managed for such a long run with country lanes to staffing major road crossing and traffic management

I loved this event. A few adjustments do need to happen to fine tune the event. I arrived on foot collected my number, walked around the park looking for bag drop even checked up at the toilets, but nothing. Asked at the number pick up point and was told they took the bags. There was no sign for this and staff did not communicate this when picking up number. Roads were not closed, at certain points runners were being squeezed with no foot path and cars coming before directions. I would be happy to pay a little bit extra to pay for roads to be closed
However I did love the event the course and the hills.

Having been to many half marathons in the uk and abroad, this was one of the smallest I have ever been to. Scenery was really great. Event organising somewhat lacked: poor comms; bag drop/pick up not sign posted and poorly managed. Lack of any sort of nutrition on course was also disappointing given the cost of the entry fee. As mentioned by other around miles 7/8 was a bit tricky with local traffic and not enough of marshals to manage that. Event village consisted of one food truck which again, a bit disappointing. Lack of additional toilet facilities and more marshals and music would have created a far better atmosphere. Park users not even aware of the race so it shows the lack of overall comma to participants and general public. It could be so much bigger and better…

All the marshal's were really friendly. Thank you

Pro: Good water stop placements, great work by stewards, good course, excellent runners village. Cons: Around mile 7 cars on the country lanes cars where squeezing runners to the side a bit. Some congestion in front of finish line at times w/ runners that had already finished.

Thanks to all the volunteers ,Marshall , motivators, dinosaur costume person, organisers. Excellent route, very good atmosphere will do it again. I love that it wasn't flat !!

Tough, undulating course but a scenic route through Mote Park and along Pilgrims Way. Well organised and a nice souvenir medal.

Was taking part in my first running event and found the whole experience very enjoyable. Thought the marshalling throughout the course was excellent and enjoyed the route, challenging but that's what you want!
Only slight negative on the route, was sharing the tight country lanes with local traffic, could be potentially hazardous and not loads of toilet facilities for the amount of people. But overall a fantastic event and would do it again!

Would of been nice if the speakers where louder for announcements/warm ups.

I loved the event Village it gives Family's and Friends something to do while we race.

I really must congratulate the organisers of the Maidstone half marathon for making this morning so special. Great marshals who were both friendly and very encouraging, superb sineage and good value. I'm sorry that the numbers of participants have dwindled so significantly from ten years and more ago.

Marshall’s were great! Route was good, my only thing was the country lanes still had cars going down them which was a struggle with runners and cyclists. Someone almost got knocked over.

Maybe some more nutrition as well at all the water stations would be great.
