First 5k in years thoroughly enjoyed it. It was well organised albeit the course was narrow in places. Would definitely consider running this again. Now for the next event.

It was my first time participating in an event like this and the friendliness of the staff made my experience easy and stressless. The boy was a great help that was going around and directing everyone towards the registration desk. I overall had a great day, can’t wait for the next one

Race was fairly well organised, some parts of the route were extremely narrow though, so had to proceed with some caution because of that.

Well organised. Great atmosphere. Only suggestion is to have water station in the middle of the route and not towards the end.

Very well organised. Maybe better signs to race start, took us a bit of time to find from station and met others not sure where start was.
