Always a great race . My 8th time of participation. Nice Work do a great job and the volunteers are outstanding. Excellent medal (perfect as a Christmas tree decoration). Even the course is friendly and ideal for first timers

Treats at the end looked a bit ravaged as a slower runner! Lovely medal. Some congestion / limited movement of people away from the finish line. Overall a nice course but not a standout.

Thanks Elanor, we'll make sure we improve this area for 2026.

There were long queues to pay for parking which post race when you are starting to get cold is really unpleasant. Could it either be communicated in advance to download the parking app and pay on arrival or could parking be booked when you book your place

Hi Charlotte, Thanks for the comments and suggestions. We'll mention to the team at Betteshanger about your comments and see what they can suggest to improve this side of the race experience.

Too many supporters and finishers standing around blocking the finish line and direct finish area. You've finished, got your medal and recovery items, so please move away from the area. Also supporters and finished runners, don't bottle neck the finish line and surrounding area!

Enjoyed the race, a bit over 5 miles. Used to be hot mulled wine and a mince pie at the end, reflecting the name 'Kent Christmas Cracker'. Goodies at the finish very poor by comparison and nothing festive about them. Too bigger queue's for expensive parking.
