I'm emailing Roger with my list tomorrow so he can verify it for my 100th so i'll ask him then.

However in the Kent 50, you have the option of finishing at shorter distances and they give you a certificate for the completed distance and you are listed in the results. So as long as you were over marathon distance then that will count.
