A challenging scenic run

Some alternative drinks on the aid stations would be good

Fabulous run, but tough for the second half, and a fair amount of trail, rather than tarmac.

Really well marshalled. Plenty of water stations. Great scenery. It's uphill for most of the second half, so that could be tough for people who don't like running uphill. It's a bit exposed if the weather isn't great, but we were lucky and had a sunny, if a little windy, day. Dover castle was busy, so it felt great to finish with loads of people about cheering you up all those steps and the final steep hill through the gatehouse. What a finish!

A well organise event. Great scenery. Good atmosphere from runners and support from locals. Water stations at timely locations.

Nice medal an T shirts. Thanks to all the marshals throughout the course.

The best half marathon I’ve ever done!

An amazing half!! Besides the hills (there weren’t as many as I was expecting, they were also a lot kinder than I was expecting! - can you tell I was prepared for Mt Everest) it was the best half marathon I have ever done! The views and scenery are spectacular and everyone involved (organisers, runners and spectators) are so friendly, encouraging and helpful! I think it would be good for beginners that have done a fair bit of hill training but otherwise a fantastic run and I hope to do it again!

Spectacular views with steady challenging hills.

Thoroughly enjoyed this today. Superb weather, wind behind most of the way. Throw some hills into your training and go for it! Awesome tech T and medal. 3 water stops, excellent organisation and friendly marshals.

Hills are a killer but amazing views

I really enjoyed this race but it’s a tough one. It was my first half so I think maybe a flatter route for a first would be better! Parking at Dover Castle was very unorganised (according to my partner). I think there should be a few more marshal points as I nearly got a bit lost. Also not scary having the road fully open around Dover castle bit scary running down the hill with cars passing. Overall a great race! Just be prepared for some killer hills and steps right at the end

Stunning route with a sting in the tail

Really enjoyed the event but would be incredibly challenging with different weather.
Great vibe all along the route and lovely mix of terrain.

Very hilly towards the end, beautiful views

Would have preferred water cups at stations and more regular stations instead of cartons so didn’t need to carry them. Bit of a sparse event “village” and finish line area but I get it’s not a huge event. Beautiful scenery and route! Be warned the final mile has a lot of steps and hills!

Certainly was a lot of uphill?

Get your hill training in before you attempt this event?! Terrific organisation by Barry at Sporting Events.
Probably, give this another go?!

Excellent half with fantastic views and a great finish, with a little of Kent’s history to boot
