Have done this event three times, mainly because there is no other local events other than parkruns on New Year’s Day It’s not a road race, the course takes you around bewl water lake and through the muddy woods out and back for two laps (one for the 5k) I think approx 2km of the 10km is not in the woods and is more paved and gravel type surface Because of the time of year, it will most likely be muddy, puddly and slippy. It has the three times of ran it so make sure you have appropriate running shoes. Although I saw some runners with road racing shoes, I really wouldn’t recommend it, this year i ran in trail shoes and I thought they was perfect. There was a man in front of me who had a nasty slip and fall and I think the organisers should give better advise on conditions and recommendation on which shoes. I think it’s a really enjoyable course, especially if you do mostly road running. There isn’t any steep or long hills but it is undulating, approx 260ft of elevation for the 10km. No portoloos this year, don’t know why, previous years there has been a handful by the start line so unfortunately you are only left with the bewl water cafe toilets which there is not enough. There never is! Parking is free and close to everything. The medal was a bit different, was a white metal but no mention of the distance which really bugs me For me, I enjoy doing this event every year, there is room for a few improvements but either way I’ll be back again next year!

This was my 3rd year running the Lamberhurst New Years Day 10k, it is a lovely event to kick off the year. Last year was torrential ran so it was delightful to return his year on a bright cold and dry morning. Testing little course with approx 700ft of climbing for the 10k. 2 lap event taking in the grounds of Scotney Castle. Well organised race with plenty of marshalls, chip timing, lovely medal and snacks at the end. Didn’t feel like I was running well on the hills but finished in 48.28 exactly the same time as last year. I would recommend this race and I’m sure I’ll be back again.

Another very well organised event by Nice Work on New Year's Day. Pros: well marshalled, easy parking just outside the village (a 10 min walk to the start), easy registration, proper toilets, beautiful medal, lots of goodies at the finish (mince pies, jaffa cakes, fig rolls, shot of whiskey). Cons: very challenging and hilly course, with part of the route open to traffic with cars getting very close to runners. The 10k course was accurately measured but the 5k seemed to be way longer than 5.

My second year of running this race and I love it! Undulating and challenging but such beautiful scenery. The medal is worth every penny and the mince pie and tot of whisky feels well deserved. This is well marshalled, well organised and a great route.

This is the 3rd time I have done this race and will def do again, nice atmosphere. The course is a hilly one but all on road, 2 laps course on mostly closed roads, the only issues I found this year was the amount of cars on the approach road to Scotney, not too much of a problem as the marshals were talking to each car and warning them of the runners in the road but still found myself having to overtake and run between cars on the approach road. Nice amount of food and whiskey at the end and a good medal! Well done all.

I took part in this race for the first time on New Year's Day. It was very cold and raining registration was in The Village Hall, as were the toilets and bag drop area. Race starts outside the Village Hall with status Quo pumping out Rockin All Over the World as we started off. There is a 5K and 10K option one or two loops, with a very steep long Hill leading into the grounds of the Castle. What's nice to get away from the lord and Lady of the Manor as we run for the grounds, and then onto a lovely downhill finish. I welcome small very small glass of whiskey to finish lucky enough the three ladies I was with didn't like whiskey so I got an extra bonus. 10 recommend this race to start the new year blow all the cobwebs out of your system and get rid of all that extra Turkey that you have been carrying around

I first did this race in 2017 and decided to return on New Years Day 2018 after only entering late the day before. The event is a combined 5k (1 lap) and 10k (2 laps) race held in the lovely village of Lamberhurst. Registration and number collection all very easy in the village hall directly next to the start and finish area. Parking is available in the roads around the event but you may have a bit of a walk to the start so give yourself time.

The bag drop wasn’t really organised, just leave your stuff in the village hall so wouldn’t advise taking too many valuables with you.

Before the start I met up with the brilliant Lee Kemp and had a quick catch up with him and got to meet his Dad who supports him so well at lots of his races. We were both rocking our #ukrunchat vests and our #racecheck visors (one of each colour for the website Kat!)

The race started and the weather really was pretty awful, strong wind and rain with the ground being very slick under foot. I ran a large part of the race with Lee chatting as we went which was fun. The route itself is pretty tough, you are either running up hill or down with very little flat parts, it takes you into the grounds and around Scotney Castle each lap with is interesting. For a run on New Years Day the turn out was good and nice to see some familiar faces along the out and back parts of the route.

I finished feeling strong in a time of 48.27 which I was pleased with considering the conditions and similar to 2017 time of 48.22. Everyone received a nice champagne bottle medal and then it was straight to bag drop to dry off and warm up. Mince pies and hot drinks were available which was appreciated.

Overall I enjoyed this event, well organised and a testing course close to home which is a lovely way to start a busy year of running ahead. I’ve no doubt I will run this event again.
