A stunning 42k race around some of the most beautiful countryside in the North Downs. A very challenging route with many parts unrunnable (by me!) due to the inclines but rewarded with great views from the top. Historically there have been problems with the course marking but this year it was superb with plenty of signs and tape so not chance of getting lost.
The only downside were the aid stations. For a race at this price point I felt let down by the lack of choice. To not have any squash at any of the stations was a bit let down. The food available was minimal with only crisp, m&ms, banana and orange segments. Also providing coke at the first aid stations but not the last few when it is really needed showed a lack of knowledge of distance racing.
At the end the pizza van was excellent but I was amazed to see the coffee van packed up before most of the marathon runners had come in.
Great to see the same medal for all distances differentiated by separate ribbons. A good bit of sustainability that is needed in modern races.
Overall the route and organisation were great, let down slightly by a few things that could be tweaked easily.
