Can't wait to come and cheer you all on...i did this one last year and it is fantastic.It definatly isn't a PB course but the hills really aren't that bad...and they are good for you anyway:-)
I love any opportunity to run near the sea...just make sure you slap on the sunscreen.
There is also a gmapedometer link to shows the route more accurately.
There were licensing issues with using OS Maps as standard. We didn't have the money to present them that way. Given I spent most of the summer last year doing things for the marathon and half, the sketch was the best I could do in the time allowed. The gmap pedometer link shows the route to the best of my ability given the time I had to spend on it this year.

Thanks for the info, this pedometer map shows a lot better detail. Thanks again and PLEASE keep up the good work for all runners benefit.
So what's all this talk of hills and stuff?
That'll be the instructions for the marathon... Did I put the wrong ones in? I've been stuffing envelopes at the wrong time of night and have been half asleep when doing it. I forgot to put in back numbers for the Kent Champ marathon runners.
The top should say 'Wilkinson Half Marathon' for your instructions... They are essentially the same, but you can stop at 13.1 miles and not have to do the flat second 13.1. Either that or the editing crew this year didn't spot the deliberate error I put in last year.
I do recall that near the start of this thread people were talking about hills and hill training and a big one at around 5 miles. Was all that an exaggeration? I take it I'm not going to meet anything like the hill climbs of Dartford or Tunbridge Wells or Hastings?
I haven't done either of the races you suggest, but it's not as hilly as the Cader Idris Fell race I did earlier in the year :-)...
There is a course height profile on the Club Website at:
http://www.thanetroadrunners.org.uk/events/Marathon/Entry2005/CourseHeightProfile.xls
You can see it plays around at the 20-45m height...

Managed 2hr 7 in this race last year abd was my first half and considering the torture Dave Bennett and Mark Foster have put me through on Thursday night hill training lately I've got to try and break or at least get close to 2 hours this year!!! So hear goes the prophecy..

We are not taking any more online entries for either. We are not taking any more POSTAL entries, either.
We regret that all entries received now will be returned. We have to ensure that we have sufficient support on the course and at the end for all entrants, should they choose to run.
We have increased the number of half entrants places again this year. We are having to source additional supplies of numbers for entrants who applied upto the closing date, which was yesterday. However, our main focus has to now been on ensuring that all current entrants have the best experience we can provide and this is what we will be doing.
Runners who now cannot run and know someone who wishes to do so may transfer their number to that other person as long as we are informed BEFORE THE DAY.
WE NEED a signed letter from the original entrant AND a signed application form from the new entrant. We suggest you use FIRST CLASS post.
We cannot swap names over on the day - there is too much else to do. Runners who run under someone elses number without informing us may be disqualified.
Thanet club is just to successful. Well done.
