Confusion over course - sand or prom!!!
Arrows were wrong, not enough marshals, some people on sand, some on prom. Great route but needs to be clearer on where to go.
First time on the beach really enjoyed it.
My first time here and not being part of a running club was a bit apprehensive of tlwhat to expected but really enjoyed the event, everyone was helpful and supportive.
Look forward to next year
A race with a difference (and a cliff) , highly recommended
Excellent and a good challenge.
Really enjoyed this one. Different to anything I've done before and was challenging, fun and rewarding.
I've seen some comments about the need for more signage etc but without the fog I think it would have been perfectly adequate and you couldn't have foreseen or done much about those conditions. I can see how it would have concerned some but I actually liked - it made for another, extra fun dimension to the race.....although may be I'm just odd ! :-)
Will definitely do it again.
Great race and good fun
Enjoyed the scramble up rocks
Fantastic scenery and a great route
This was a fun race that was well organised throughout.
A challenge from the norm
Great scenery and friendly marshals, quite a tough course.
The visibility dropped and we couldn’t see other runners at a couple of points in the run, signage was ok though. I would have like another drop of water at the end of the run but was told they didn’t have enough. Otherwise we’ll organised and with friendly marshals.
Who'd have thought there were so many varieties of sand!!!
This is only the second time this race has been run so I think it still has some tweaks to be ironed out. My garmin has come up as 14.6 miles so I'm not too sure if I went wrong at some point? There was sooooo much fog/haze this morning that I think it's possible as for quite a bit of the race I couldn't see any competitors in front or behind me.
I enjoyed the race but I do think it would benefit from more marshals and more signage as for at least 1 mile I honestly felt quite unsure if I was still on the correct route.
Despite these niggles though I would compete in this race again and I'm sure the organisers will resolve these issues with time and experience. Thank you.
Different!
A challenging run-I was concerned that I had gone wrong at one point. A few more marshals along the route or more signage would have assisted me for sure.
Beautiful but quite challenging - a unique race!
I went wrong at one point because signage may have blown in the wind and I think others went wrong too.
Fantastic beach run
Really enjoyed this event - good organisation, lovely course and very friendly marshalls.
Excellent race, might be a little harsh for first time runners. Distance markers would help. Overall brilliant
Nice little challenge
Personally trial shoes seemed to be best
A more challenging run than the normal road runs
I agree that the route was sometimes tricky to follow and with runner spaced out there were a few unsure moments. But everyone was as friendly as ever and a sense of achievement in completing the race
Great Challenge beautiful scenery
Really interesting and different route. Friendly marshal's and runners.
Possibly a few more markers or marshal's would be helpful some long parts where the route wasn't always clear.
Great event, will be back next year!
Fun, new, running challenge
Fantastic event. Something new and different. Enjoyed running on the sand, climbing up cliff-faces and wading through the rockpools! Good fun, but also a challenge as described. Would definately recommend. Lovely route and scenery. Nice tshirt and fab medal too. Just a few more marshal's needed on route- I already knew the general route as run regularly around Thanet coastline, but others were getting confused and needed directing.
Challenging and loads of fun!
Great run, different to run on sand (mostly)
