A very well organised 10 mile race in 1 mile loops. The volunteers and organisers were great. As were the medals, water station, baggage drop, and post race snacks. It was also really nice to have a female changing room, although more toilets would be required for larger events.

Very well organised and friendly staff. The weather conditions were scorching hot, but there was plenty of water available which massively helped.

Good run and well organised. I think the loops would get very repetetive for a half marathon but great for 10k.

First event and thoroughly impressed. Great communication before the event and on arrival.
Race organisation was impressive, especially considering the multiple distances going on simultaneously. First class.
Very smooth at the finish and no queues.
Brilliant unique course - and didn't mind the rain.
Look forward to doing more.

Although we arrived late due to now knowing exactly where we were going, we were so pleased that we were still able to take part. For this we are so grateful. The team were so friendly and encouraging, I’m so excited to have taken part. Many thanks to all who made it possible.

Alison enjoy her run so much, she especially enjoyed having people along the way cheering her on. The medal was the best part of the race, she has now set a goal of 100 races to get more medals. The snacks were a lovely touch. Thank you to all the team who made our first race so much enjoyable.

Monotonously boring. It’s a mentally draining course with 13 laps And frankly overpriced for what you get. Without some form of watch technology it’s difficult to remember how many laps you have done.
There are far better courses available for the cost, I certainly won’t be rushing back

I enjoyed the race. I enjoyed the race. All was arranged when I got there and just had to get ready and run.
There were runners at all levels so was a good flow where you could run at your own pace or follow others to push for better times.

Great venue. Well organised, great venue but 6 laps of the course for 10km a bit dull
