After 14 years, SVN are calling it a day. Their final events will be in September 2014. Although most of their races are in Kent, I have found their marathon and timed events to be fun with great theming and excellent goody bags. It will be a shame to see another great race organiser go. saxon-shore.com |

They will be sadly missed, I've only done 20 events with them 12 ultras & 8 marathons but always a good craic & a good medal.

Their Marathon Day Marathon (26 February) always looked a good idea but never worked out for me. The same with St George's Day. Having a 10 in 10 days in the summer was a good idea for those in teaching. There was always a food theme or a historical event to commemorate. No chip timing when I took part but it was a bit quirky to have your lap tag clipped while making use of the very well-stocked aid station. Always glad to ring the bell when you finished. |

Runbelievable are taking over their events though, so hopefully not much practical difference. Agree that SVN are a great events organiser, I have found them particularly useful when I need to do something like a 20 mile training run, much easier having nearby aid station with lots of goodies instead of having to carry everything!

Wow, 700 events over 14 years! I think i've actually only done one? Maybe two? But always checked their site to see if any events meet my plans. Best of luck to them. |
