Very well organised in challenging conditions. Bag drop before the race had a very long queue, but hats off to the volunteers who made a plan to get everyone sorted before the start.J
Jon BDid the Half Marathon in 2020
Brilliantly organised by a lovely club, Dartford Harriers. A very challenging course, as there are two or three big hills, including Gore Hill at mile 10. Well supported, a great atmosphere and a well-respected event amongst the local running community. Go challenge yourself!S

It is a very good Half Marathon . I run first time it and finished very easy . I will run every year . Thank you .Did the Half Marathon in 2019
A run which is organised by local club Dartford Harriers and has a nice local feel to it. The year I ran had 755 runners complete it, which means less time getting over the start line, less traffic during the race and a better finish position! There are enough stewards along the course to keep you on track and some local people turn out to cheer you on. The course is really hilly, 600ft odd of elevation, so makes for an interesting run if you are good on flats or up/down hills. Some nice scenic country views of Kent on the way round too.Had a good amount of fun during the race, and decent value for money. I've used this as a marathon training plan race.
