Great to put in a decent time in the town of my birth and starting and finishing at Whitstable castle is a great idea.
The Marshalls were very supportive all the way round and very organised and on the ball. The only tiny negative was when I finished I asked for another drink and felt like a scolded schoolboy after the lecture I received. I carried my own water so didn’t have any at the water stations so didn’t feel that I was asking for the crown jewels but this didn’t cut any mustard with the spiky school ma’am who seemed to be enjoying her water monitor duties far too much…

Got a sharp word about taking 1 bag of haribo & I pack of live hearts at the end .

Lovely run and a great atmosphere
We did the Saxon Shore run in May - it's a scenic half marathon but can be very hot so plan and prepare properly!
Tina Cockhill
Tough in the heat
Well organised, great marshalling- thank you
Laura Robinson
Fantastic race, super positive atmosphere and so much fun
More water as run out when we got to the 9 mile station although they Marshall managed to get some to us around mile 11.5 so was very quick on there feet. Desperately needed the water as far to hot being a half marathon.

Smoothly run and really helpful and friendly Marshall's
Ran out of water at mile 9 drinks station which was a tough blow in the heat. Did get water from the support van a bit later so well done ☺️
Steven Hawkins
Beautiful route along the Whitstable and Herne bay coast
Helen Ling
Superb event - hot again despite the earlier date!
The Marshalls are amazing and really supportive and encouraging but please can runners be limited to one water per station so there is some left when us slower runners get there!

The castle is a great place to start the event from. Well marshalled. Can you knock the temperature back just a little for next year
Patrick Rogers
Good fun, good crowd support, see you next year
A few more mile markers may help. Drink station at the top of the reculver hill.
Otherwise great.

A hot day and a nice cooling sea breeze
I was disappointed that the water station at mile 10 had run out of water. However, this was quickly rectified with some adhoc stations at mile 12.

Well organised event
Personally i did not like running out along promenade surface . Cracks and uneven surface made it for myself a tense surface. I am prone to falling and need to be wary of such surfaces.

Fab event!
