Wasn't a big fan of the fact that there was an overlap of the 10k runners with the half marathon ones (10k started just 1hr after the half marathon). The paths on roundhay aren't the biggest to accommodate 2 big running groups with different distance goals. Other than that it seemed well organised.

Fantastic morning in Roundhay Park. Probably the best event village I’ve experienced at these events. Great community feel. Gruelling course. Uphill section in the woods was tough! Looking forward to the next event.

Really a great day organised very well and a really enjoyable experience. There were lots of vendors food, drinks and the atmosphere was really good. Would definitely return and encourage people to do so as well.

Really enjoyed this race. It was relaxed but well organised with plenty of staff and pacers for all times. The trail was mostly paved footpath with some muddy patches. Good snacks at the end too!

First ever run event & half marathon, and couldn’t have had a better experience. The whole set up was great & the marshals were all so encouraging and lovely all the way around the course. Lovely venue & got very lucky with the weather. Will definitely be returning for another.

Good course, logistics really good. Poor medal, same one for all distances and poor good bag. Please don’t give nuts to nut allergy sufferers…
