Well organised
Was my first 10k , it was well organised, everyone was friendly and there was a really good atmosphere.
Amazing event!
This is a challenging event but the event crew, marshalls and the overall atmosphere is amazing. The start is well organised, marshalls are full of energy and encouragement, good signage as you go around and the finish area includes cake and fruit. What more could you ask for! Thank you to everyone and I will see you again soon
Another classic Barry event !!
1st time doing the 10miler , very nice and scenic route ,great atmosphere at end (loads of free food /drink) .. if any faults,I did not see any mile markers after 5 (unless I missed them)
Hi Andy, thank you for your comments, we are glad you enjoyed the event. Unfortunately this morning we had to make an adjustment to the course due to a burst water main on the route. This therefore changed the route distance and the positions of the mile markers. We therefore had to remove any mile markers after the point of the route change as they would no longer be accurate.
Best organised race, fantastic marshalls, challenging course
Super race, with a challenging course. Marshalls are great, with so much support given to runners.
Love the cakes and drinks at the end too.
One of the best races in Kent
Despite the challenging course it keeps you coming back. The Marshall’s are friendly, all being passionate club runners themselves. The event is super friendly and encouraging to beginners and the facilities are first class with an amazing selection of cakes and drinks at the end. One of the very best.
Fantastic, brilliantly orgĂ nised, event!
Great atmosphere, excellent value for money ! Superb
really good event and well organised - this was our first event there and enjoyed it very much
Would have been nice to half mile markers . It started well up to about 4 miles and there after nothing which made it really hard

Super marshal's
Hilly, scenic and loads of fun
Excellent event
Such a well organised event, Sittingbourne Striders were fantastic, massive credit to the club. The route is hilly but also very pretty. Lovely facilities, easy parking, good refreshments, excellent job!
Lovely course with a warm welcoming feel
Lovely local event, super friendly, good mix of abilities and some lovely hills!!!!
Challenging but enjoyable 10 mile
Extremely well run from beginning to end. Talking of ending the two hills in the last mile was an unexpected challenge and made the event even more memorable.
The whole event was very well run with friendly and encouraging marshals.
It was good to have an event with a selection of refreshments along the route and at the finish line.
Will be looking forward to next years event
Well organised event
Impressed with number of marshals and how enthusiastic they were. Not entirely sure why there was a split start, though.
The mist friendly race I have run ( fir the third time).
This is a run, I would recommend to a novice, how wants to add distance and hills to their running journey. Also the temperature is cooler and therefore perfect for running. But most of sll, the Sittingbourne Striders will look after you all the way. I highly recommend this race!
Brilliant event, fab marshalls and event HQ. Because of the hills it's a challenging route, not for the faint hearted but a great sense of achievement afterwards. My favourite local event and the best marshals for encouragement!
Very organised . Marshals really friendly
Very well organised from parking, bag drop, start, marshalling, road closures to finish line. It's a great event, a proper test.
Picky notes to make it even better. The start was a lot better than last year, but you still don't need to hold back the waves. Put people in waves, and then start them off together, Wave 2 is not catching Wave 1.
Spoke to a few Striders about enticing more clubs along. To do this it would really help if Running Club names were included in the results and filterable. Great event, it's a real credit to the club.
Great route and encouragement from everyone involved.
Outstanding marshalling and organisation
It was a tough course, but will definitely be back next year. Excellent organisation, good parking, great venue. Outstanding marshals.
Professional and friendly organisation. Hilly run!
