Not the best

Compared to other 10k runs felt a little bit basic, organised on a budget. Flat route good for beginners. Marshalls were friendly but could have been more Marshalls on route. Had someone had an injury it would have been difficult to alert someone quickly. Medal was not "unique" and disappointingly had no mention of Dymchurch. Overall ok just better organized runs out there.

Quiet ,flat course, running with the sea on one side makes a nice change from other runs. No roads/cars to worry about.

Not made clear where to go for start. I heard a few runners say distance was just under 10k. This was mentioned previous year too so needs sorting which shouldn't be too hard. Also markers for each km so you know how your doing even if piece of a4 paper stuck to sea wall or cones, anything would do, wouldn't cost anything.
One water stop is fine, nice flat route, sea views, has potential to be great 10k. Distance needs to be spot on though as this course is ideal for getting a pb. Still enjoyed despite tail end of storm Dennis cutting the field right down.

Fast flat route

Misleading marketing, advises medals and t-shirts for finishers however no free t-shirts only medals.

Nice run but a few hundred meters too short and not chip timed

Apparently the course had only been designed the day before. WIth a little more planning the course could easily have been made the full distance.

Great run on a sunny day

Biggest disappointment, the run wasn't actually 10k. It was only 9.5k,

Great race. The course could benefit from more Km markers so you can track distance.

Results to be up quicker following race finish.
Those running the day were really supportive.

Relaxed and happy atmosphere

I wish the course was actually 10k as it came up pretty short. Most seem to have logged only 9.5.

Great flat course, can definitely get a PB. However, as it's on the seafront, it has potential to be windy if it's abad weather day. Will be back to run it again!

Second time I have run this 10k. This time the weather was amazing, very sunny and warm. Get it on a bad day and it could be a hard run.

Fun for runners of all abilities

I will certainly spreading the word for next year. This race could do with a little more advertising to get more locals involved. It's all for a great cause.
