Whitstable 10k (Bank holiday Monday)

First time run I’ve run this race in 2018 in record bank holiday temperatures. A really good race that I would definitely do again as it is one of my local ones, please see below. A really good race that I would do again.

Good

Lovely course with views of the sea for 75% of the route, first half mile is downhill so easy to get going

Superb support from supporters along the course and Marshall’s

£16 for a 10k with medal and a t shirt is a real bargain

Bad

With temperatures around 25/26 the water station at halfway I felt was poor as only 3 people giving out water in small cups. Could have done with another at 7/8km given the heat

Last 500m was very tight racing with the public and bikes also using the path left only 1.5m wide path for runners, but again harsh to criticise as the beach was packed 

11am start is just too late to start a race - needed to be earlier
