From my own experience, this is a very popular race with good potential for a PB - it is basically quite a flat course with only one reasonable hill and a few other little undulating bits. As you know I'm not keen on hills - so I wouldn't lie to you......!! The race is run before Bluewater opens, so there is ample parking and all the main roads are closed - which makes it safe too.   And this year it doesn’t clash with the North Downs Run! By Sue Beecham
