Running on sand is hard work but it’s fun to do something different! Organisation was slick, and marshals always cheery! Bonus ice cream at the end too!

Happy won my age group

Well organised, friendly marshals perfect weather today, look forward to next year!

This event was so well organised. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. A really unique fun event and a free ice cream for every finisher. What’s not to love

I’d been looking forward to this race for months, knowing it promised something a little out of the ordinary. After all, how often do you get the chance to run on the beach? The weather couldn’t have been better, the atmosphere was buzzing, and crossing the finish line felt incredible. To top it all off, I celebrated with a well-earned complimentary ice cream.

My continual complaint with Sporting Events why are there age awards for all groups up to 60 and then they are not interested in you. Very poor when other organisations do give age category awards for over 70’s and even over 80’s if applicable.

Brilliant marshals and excellent facilities. Third year in a row I've run it - looking forward to next year!

Fab weather for end of September

First time for me. It was something different and nice to forget about your watch and just enjoy the occasion. The tactical challenge was also fun - the most direct route was very often not the fastest and the trick was picking a line through the firmer sand and avoiding the technical rocky bits. The race started late but it was a glorious July morning, so no big deal. Overall, a very enjoyable race that's suitable for everyone.

A well organised race with a free ice cream at the end, what more could you want!

Please consider making this a cupless event - after the water station there were a lot of cups discarded on the beach. I realise they are probably collected (as they are with most races), but they were close to the tide line and could easily have been washed into the sea before anyone had a chance to collect them, which adds to marine litter and isn't a great look. Many longer races are cupless so it could be do-able for this shorter distance. This is a great Kent event though, and I love the ice cream at the end!

Thank you to those who set up the event and who were marshaling it.

Just like to say the Marshalls were brilliant, this was my first race here defiantly will be back again next year thank you Sporting Events and Thanet Road Runners

This event is tough running on the sand but a lot of fun. Very nice medal and icecream!
