Couldn’t ask for more really. Very good organisation of the race, friendly welcome upon arrival and lots of motivation from stewards throughout the race. It was my first 10K race and I hit a PB (Sub 50) which I was very pleased about. Would definitely recommend to a friend and sign up to more races in the future.
Very well organised and friendly race. As someone who was running her first 10K race, I was immediately impressed with the welcome, organisation and support and motivation along the route. The warmup at the start was fun and engaging and the organisers were friendly and supportive along the route. I will definitely be signing up to more next year!

Incredibly well run and organised.
I ran the 5k which started at 7pm; the 10k started at 7:04pm about 500m behind the 5k start. The first lap was relatively clear and with signs along the road indicating how many kilometres you've completed. A big group of runners meant that as I was chasing a personal best time, the competitive field meant I had others of similar ability to run with.
However, the second lap is difficult as you have to overtake slower 10km runners. This can be difficult and tiring when running at speed.
You're also sharing the park with non-runners who might get in the way.
Nonetheless, the marshaling is great and helped keep things organised, avoiding any collisions or accidents. The Marshall are also great cheerleaders with tambourines and megaphones.
The finish line at the race village was great as we received all sorts of goodies to refuel.
Would highly recommend this to a friend!
Well organised event, fantastic flat course (definite PB potential - I PB’ed!) and really well organised with signs, on-site toilets, and manned bag drop. The number collection and bag drop services were well organised and the event staff were great. I’d definitely sign up for a RunThrough event again.
