Gorgeous 10km race with stunning medal

This is my second year running it and I enjoyed it both times/ it has encouraged me to keep running and take on further challenges

Nice flat event

I found the event abit repetitive, in future id probably look for an event with less overlap on the route. But the water was well spread out and the team were happy, encouraging and friendly. Didn't enjoy the sneaky hill at the end, thought the race finished down the bottom and lost some time before I realised it was up the hill.

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.

Organiser comment:

Hi Shannon. We are not sure what you mean by a scattered water station? The water stations in the Half Marathon were at 3, 6 and 9 miles, which equates to water about every 5k. This was also detailed in the final instructions. There were a couple of signs pointing to the start several announcements and all the other runners going to the start. There were also event team members in the Castle and marshals at all the Castle entrances.

Great location, good time to start. Well done to all the marshals!

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.

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.
