Running Grand Prix Oulton Park - March

Great event. Well organised and a fantastic atmosphere. Will definitely be going back!

Unbelievable day! From the start to finish all the volunteers were out in the cold cheering people on none stop! The hills are very deceiving, I did the marathon and after 5 laps the hills were beating my legs.

I would run again, maybe a shorter distance next time doing 10 laps of a race track was tough

Really enjoyed the event. The course was really good, but has a couple of decent hills that did test the legs at the back end of the race. The hairpin bend is a bit awkward to run as you’re running across a steep slope. Given there are so many races on at the same time I paid no attention to the distance markers. The arrangements for multiple start and finish worked well. There was a good vibe, plenty of parking, toilets, coffee truck & burger van for spectators too. I’d do again !

The Running Grand Prix at Oulton Park was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The organization was top-notch, with every detail meticulously planned to ensure a smooth and enjoyable event. The volunteers truly stood out—they were phenomenal! Their enthusiasm, encouragement, and dedication added so much positive energy to the day.

The course itself was brilliant, offering a unique and exciting challenge. Running on a race circuit provided a smooth surface, great visibility, and a chance to focus on your pace and performance without distractions. It was a joy to run in such a well-designed environment.

I had initially prepared for cold weather, expecting it to be a bit challenging, but the conditions turned out to be perfect for running. The crisp air and mild temperatures made it an ideal day to push for a great performance.

Overall, I would highly recommend the Running Grand Prix at Oulton Park to anyone looking for a well-organized and enjoyable race experience. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, this event offers something special. I'll definitely be looking to participate again in the future!

Great event! Ran very well! The elevation was a killer though!

Nothing wrong with the organisation of the event, just the 10k race itself .
Never felt a part of it with the other races going on at the same time and running on a motor racing circuit just didn’t work for me.

Event was spot on. Would highly recommend 👍🏻

Did the half marathon at Oulton Park, The first 10K was my fastest and the pace after was amazing, great support from the course staff.

Very well organised and the course itself was spot on. Would highly recommend 👍🏻

Great fun running round the racing track with people at different speeds (rather than in a bunch at same pace as in a road race). The setup is great - park next to the start, registration done in about a minute, no queues for toilets. Good to see extra small bottles of water on the course (why did it take so long??) but sports cap would be so much better.

Overall, I’d say it was a good race. Marshall’s and warm up were great and general organisation was good.

As someone said previously, the distance signage was confusing as there are a lot of race formats.

The only other thing is that it said a t-shirt was included but we didn’t receive one or see any?

A lovely location and course. Our first half marathons! Great facilities and organisation, and a special shout out to the brilliant marshalls. We liked the warm-up too. Our only niggle was the course distance signage, which was confusing and demoralising. To see the ‘19 miles to go’ sign every lap didn’t encourage either of us very much. This is a minor criticism, though. Can’t wait for the tshirt to arrive.

Fantastic experience for my first event. Lots of great support from the side lines and also from other runners.
A wide range of experience from one runner to the next but all as equally supportive of each other.
The atmosphere was great and the sense of achievement afterwards was amazing. Thank you

My first marathon at aged 61. Although I am a regular Parkrunner, I only completed 4 weeks focused preparation training. The objective was to complete the race within the cut off time. Objective achieved! Just want to express my thanks to all the staff during the event. Everyone was so motivational and encouraging. They were a defining factor in the completion of the run.....especially during the last 3 laps when the snow really started to come down. Now completing post recovery and will sign up for the next marathon on the 06 March 2022.

A great track to run around and it was organised really well. They placed distance markers around the circuit for all of the different races and it was easy to read and understand. The circuit itself was a really fun track to run, it had enough different elements to help keep focus without being too complex. It was really fun to be in the race on track for once instead of watching cars from the grass. I would definitely go again!

Excellent race at great venue. Very well organised and good quality medal at the end. Will definitely race here again.

Great venue, atmosphere & Run!!!

Great for spectators. My husband, who takes my jacket at the start then looks for somewhere to shelter while I run, pronounced Oulton Park the best venue yet. Parking was easy and close, efficiently directed by the venue staff. Portaloos were plentiful and clean. Best of all, the venue cafe was open: bacon butties, coffee, somewhere to sit indoors, proper toilets. Luxury!
I did the 10k and was really impressed with the organisation, the friendly and encouraging staff, the brilliant medal and t-shirt and the range of goodies. The hilly sections were an unexpected challenge, but I ran a pb, so not complaining.

Fab, fun and friendly. This was first ever 5k event and it didn't disappointment. Communication from the venue was fantastic. It was really well organised and easy to find where I had to be and what I had to do. Everywhere was clean and all the staff helpful and friendly. Great encouragement as I ran round and was made to feel motivated.

Great 10k. Really good event. This was my first 10k. We were all very impressed with how smoothly everything went. Will definitely take part again in the future
