Great race with plenty of hills! Starting and finishing in beautiful Mount Ephraim gardens. James C

The beautiful grounds and gardens of Mount Ephraim in Faversham was the setting for this Sunday’s 10K race. This event was elected as an addition to the Kent Championships for our own local club championship race, making some good internal battles for us too.

The course is notoriously tricky with its undulating roads throughout the route as it winds it’s way through Herne Hill, Dargate and back to Mount Ephraim. Although there are several hills on the course, what comes up must come down and as a result runners were treated to a quick down hill start (after a lap of the cricket pitch) and a quick final 2K finish before a slight incline back into the grounds and across the finish line.
