Well planned & organised event. Very simple and easy registration/collection of badge number/medal and T-shirt, the course was well thought out and even but also challenging but enjoyable. Members of the organisation team throughout the course providing motivation and guidance was a lovely touch. I personally found the group size also perfect as there was a nice amount of people but not too many that you find yourselves held up or in another runners path. I would highly recommend this race event.

Great run. My first 10k run. Really enjoyed it nice flag course. The only disappointing thing was that I was not notified that you need change for the toilets. Being 20p. But overall, loved it!

my first 10k run. This was the first time a do a 10k and I never ran it before. In the race, the people and the vibes around you really makes you to keep gaining and seeing people walking in the park or even running. I really enjoyed it, and I'm planning to run another one soon

Great run. Can’t knock it. Easy to find and great location. Zig zagged around the park lots of marshals and signs. 2 laps and given a time for each 5k which is handy. Nice custom medal only down side is water in plastic cups. Much prefer a small bottle. Would recommend!

I was left wanting more. the truth is that I loved the race, it is the first one I do in London and I will repeat soon. The organization was perfect, the environment, the environment, everything really great, I was left wanting more hehehe. The score that I give to the race is 10, 5 is short for how fantastic the experience was. Thanks for everything, see you in the next race.
