This is a superb race . T.W Harriers put on a great day!
It is a testing course and finds you out in a few places!
Last year I ran it with the tail end of a cold and lost 7 minutes on the previous years best. Hoping to be fit this year and aim for sub 1:40 with a huge effort, and a bit of luck!
Don't miss out !
Hello!
I want to run this Half Marathon and now i´m searching someone who is going there by car from London...... I´m new in the City and so i don´t know exactly how to go to Tunbridge Wells.
Help Please!
Cheers Florian
yes have entered.... could you tell me how I can go there??? I don´t have a car and the trains are too late... do you know somebody who is going there by car???
THANKS
Florian
See the www.twharriers.org.uk website. There are trains to Tonbridge (3.5 miles away) and you can get a bus/cab/cycle from there. Trains get into TW at 9:07 which is cutting it fine, but possible.
Mike - course is not flooded now, rain at the weekend was especially bad. Forecast is better so won't be a problem. We work closely with Highways so keeping a close eye on things.

Really looking forward to this 1 as it will be my first race.
Am obviously nervous, and a little worried about this hill people keep talking about. But I live next to Mote Park in Maidstone so nearly all of my training has included hills, hopefully I should just about make it!
Brian you'll be fine on the hill- just take it easy and mentally block it out - dont forget there is a long down hill section in the early miles to enjoy first! Also try the Maidstone Half which is right near you - usually in October - I think from my times ,Maidstone is a little easier!
Not sure what to say Karlson. According to the web site, its full but others might know better.
Does anyone know if there are showers after the event?
Hi peeps
Bit of a plea for help here. I've entered the race, but was supposed to be doing it with my husband as pacemaker. However the daft twit has forgotten to enter.
If anyone has a spare number, could you please let me know? Ideally male senior, but there is zero chance of him getting any prize or anything, so I guess any would do.
Thats unless transferring numbers is frowned on for this one - Johnny, do say if it would be a problem and I'll drop out instead.
Thank you so much!
Totally understand Johnny. He would be with me at all times, and no chance whatsoever of affecting awards at 2 hours +!
But I will check - thanks
Treacle - if your husband can't get a place, you should still consider running. You'll find plenty of people going at your pace (what ever that is) and lots of people will chat and run with you. Most people don't mind if you use them to pace you as long as you don't run on their heels.
Or was your husband pacing you for a particular time?
I'm definitely still running Chelsea Plodder - wouldn't miss it for the world! Was just hoping he'd be able to run it with me as we've done it a couple of times before, and was also hoping he'd do his usual task of hitting metronomic 9 min miling, as well as storming up the hill!
I will definitely be doing it anyway, just a bit cross at his crapness tbh!
