A well organized event with friendly marshals providing encouragement
It was my 1st competitive 10K and the heat made it tough! But once over, I can now say I enjoyed it!

Nice event
The event was hot but not fault of the organisers. Enough water when needed. Flat for most of the run with a sneaky hill, but a race would not be one without a hill. The atmosphere was good. Music, tents, banners. Well organised.

Just needed 1 more water station
Great event including the HQ at the castle but needed 1 more water station a long way in between them. And wow got stung at the car park £3.80 an hour wow. Take the train or run quicker.

Struggled
I signed up for a half marathon, I only managed a 10k. The water station should have been scattered rather than so close together. The hill was a struggle, was not able to find the start at the beginning. Was not clearly sign posted. The negative thoughts won and I only managed a 10k.

Great location, good time to start. Well done to all the marshals!
Hubertus Himmerich
Great run
Loved the sea view.

Great Coastal Race
Great coastal race with a choice of distances.
Well marshalled beginner friendly race, flat enough for experienced runners chasing a pb.
There are a few cheeky hills towards the end!
The castle is a great venue for the event village.

Great scenic route
Let down by only one hydration station on such a hot day and restricted to half a cup of water. Even at finish was restricted. Route was undulating in places with a uphill finish.
Clive Robinson
Very enjoyable seaside run!
Great for beginners, very little in the way of elevation gain, just a doable climb at the end and up to the finish.
The medal was superb, well organised, nice that the registration and finish are by Whitstable Castle. If you are a tourist Whitstable is a lovely town to explore afterwards.
Matt Detemple
