I’ve done this race several times so I know what to expect. It a pb course. It is also very exposed and the winds can be brutal. Overall it is well organised with lovely friendly marshals on the course and in t...

Not the best. The race started late (approx 10 mins) not sure why exactly but might have had something to do with the queues for the toilets! There was ONLY NINE PORTOLOOS! That is no where near good enough. T...

I booked Lydd 20 after it was suggested to me, as an alternative to another 20 mile race that was unfortunately cancelled due to the storms a couple weeks before. It's a flat out and back course in the Kent cou...

Windy!!!! One word to decrive this year’s race. In 35+ years of running I’ve never known anything like it. The organisers and marshals did am amazing job of coping with it. Trees down across the route on th...

No pre marathon long run is fun but this perfectly flat course made this one so much more enjoyable.  Winding through the Kent countryside this race is combined with a half marathon giving the added attra...
