Great family day out. First there was a kids race which my daughter absolutely loved. Great atmosphere, everyone cheering the children on. 30min later both the 5k and 10k started. Course was very picturesque but challenging. With the hills and off road parts, probably not the one for a pb. ;) We'll marked and lots of support alongside the course. Water at half way point. Plenty of water, free cakes and a great atmosphere at the finish.Organisers did an amazing job and considering this was only the 2nd edition, it is even more impressive. Would love to return next year - Hawkhurst 5, 10k has been added to my race calendar.

Well organised event. Very picturesque route. The only downside was the lack of toilets. Only two for the event, but apparently this was down to the parish council and not the event organisers.

Great warm up. Good atmosphere. However, not sure if anyone else mentioned this but my garmin recorded the 5k course as 3.44miles. I did mention to a couple of other runners and they also had the 5k course around 3.42 miles.
