This was my first ever half-marathon and I was sooo impressed with how the event was organised! From the safety of bag drop, to the great warm up, to the location, everything ran swimmingly. I loved the hype team who really helped keep the energy up throughout the morning. How friendly the team were. The pace of refreshments, and frequency of washrooms around the course. It was exceptionally organised and I can’t wait to do my next one with you. Thank so much

Well staffed, bag drop great, plentiful portaloos. The flat course attracts more serious runners - not as diverse as other halfs. Couldn't hear PA instructions at start.
No communal warm up.
Pacers for 1.40 and 2.40 only.
Biggest complaint was that course ran 0.3 miles long by my watch, which tipped me beyond the time goal I had correctly paced for. I supppse you pick up more distance if you run on the outside of the lap but this seemed excessive.
The noticeable camber of the path in one orientation only for that long irritated my IT band on the stabilising leg.
The water stations were very efficient but are we really still using plastic bottles in 2024? A) people only take a sip before flinging them across the field B) planet and that.
I saw quite a few gel packets on the ground and felt as runners we were not encouraged to be responsible.
Results & photos extremely efficient - thank you.

Great event, very well organised and huge support from spectators
Superbly organised event, very well marshalled and a friendly vibe. It was a very hot day for September (20c at the start and rising) so the shade from trees on over half the course was very welcome. Flat and fast course although due to the 8.75 laps the faster runners had to weave their through the slower runners. Excellent water station zone and supervised bag drop area. My race entry booked the day before the race (on the findarace website) didn't appear on their system but no problem being issued with my race number and having my details added. Nice medal and post race goodies and water. Recommended.

My first ever running event. All the staff were superb from runthrough and I really felt as though they had a vested interested in the fact that every runner had a good time. Couldn’t rate this event highly enough.

Really good day! A little confusing the 8.75 laps. Held at the start line for a couple of extra minutes. But amazing atmosphere 💪🏼 where can we find times?

A great and well organized race! The park is beautiful and very flat, allowing for easy running. There were large friendly crowds, and everything went very smoothly. Will definitely be running again
First Half Marathon in the books. Travelled from Canada with my younger son and daughter to visit my eldest son who lives here London. He and his gf ran too! FamJam at Battersea!
Thanks to RunThroughUK for an amazing event. Everyone was just fantastic. Shout out to Richard who kindly showed me the ropes at registration. Thanks for an awesome experience!
