It was a great event with friendly and encouraging marshalls. It was also well signposted and well organised with good feeding stations.

I ran the marathon but before the race I received no race information and had to get everything searching on the site to get answers. The course is good just a shame about the incline towards the end which is demoralising.
Hi Nicola The full race information was on our website 10 weeks before the event, on the Event Info page on our website. An email was sent to all runners on the Monday of race week, with a few key reminders and further directing runners to the info page. Unfortunately emails sometimes get picked up by spam filters, but all the info was there in plenty of time :-)

Lovely race, welcoming of all abilities, smiling and cheering marshals, and I loved running through the tunnels, especially on a warm June day. The route is shared with the public so you'll get a few cyclists overtaking but they were all respectful and shared the path (as did the runners).

Well organised as ever, and it was quite a novelty to run through the two tunnels! My only slight gripe was that I had quite a long wait for the shuttle bus back to the P&R car park, but this didn't detract from a most enjoyable experience. For future entrants, I would definitely recommend wearing a headlight, as the lighting in the tunnels is quite dim.

I really liked running the tunnels, very cool temperature as your doing the half marathon return so allowed me to go faster, I would bring a headlight. Need to work on how to start the race so we don't do the precarious mud slide down to the path....maybe throw down some gravel or bark? The marshals were great Enjoyed the race and got a half marathon PB

Great run, very well organised. Fairly flat for Bath, and the tunnels make the run interesting as well as breaking up the run. Big shout out to all of the volunteers who help to make it a great day.

Really great race! Very well organised with friendly encouraging marshals. I'm definitely looking forward to gaining the second half of my medal in the next race! If you haven't ran in March then get yourself booked on for June!! Thank you to everyone that made the race a success and well done to all who participated!

Nice flat course (I did the 10K) with a good atmosphere and friendly volunteers. The tunnels were really cool on a hot day, too!

This was my first marathon and I'm very pleased I chose Relish running and this event. The course had a lot of variation that keeps you going taking in some beautiful areas on the edge of Bath and within. I was also lucky enough to win a prize which I wasnt expecting! I had an email to say I could choose another race as a prize. Looking forward to picking one, it won't be the last with Relish! Thanks, Tim Sutton

Great route - but the path is not closed off so a little scary with some members of public on bikes going way too fast. Overall a good event and the tunnels are cool!

Lovely venue, very well organised although the medal was disappointing, nothing like what was advertised. I understand the need for sustainable products but they could do some colour and better quality

Excellent race, I did the return half (deceptive early hill for a flat course) and had a great time doing it. Everyone was super nice and the post-race snacks were excellent. Lots to do for the families during the event too. Best race I've ever done!

Ran the Hilly Half. Absolutely beautiful course across the Bath countryside, very well organised, and lovely supportive marshals. Couldn't have asked for more. Thanks to the organisers.

Lovely scenery and great support. This is a lovely scenic route; lots of miles along the canal, some beautiful views of the viaducts and the tunnel stretches kept things interesting. The support was excellent and the Marathon ran smoothly. This had a very relaxed and friendly feel to the day. There was no on site parking and the park and ride was a bit of a faff for being so far away from the city centre, similarly, the start/finish line are a little away from the city centre making it a bit tricky for family to support. The route map could be a little clearer to help family track the route and offer support, but the route was very clear on the day itself. If the start/finish were in a more central location, or a closer park and ride was arranged, I'd definitely give this five stars - but the positives; a beautiful route, organised well, with super friendly people gets this four stars from me.

10k route. I was so impressed on how well organised it was! The 10k route is nice and flat as you would imagine it would be being an old railway line. Lovely and cool through the tunnels, really impressive! If you’re at your infancy in running or you want a PB then this is ideal!! This is definitely one for my running event calendar!!

Underground, overground..... Interesting, well-organised race through tunnels, villages and along a great stretch of towpath; brilliantly marshalled throughout; main difficulty apart from the relentlessness of waterside miles was weaving through Sunday crowds in the city centre stretches; rates high as a 'special' race.

Half marathon route. There is a cheeky bit of hill work mile 3-4 then goes flat along the canal found it difficult with lack of support on this part, very very cheeky hill at the end but was well organised

Super well organised event. I did my first Two Tunnels event yesterday and was very impressed with the organisation. Getting there was easy, park and ride buses laid on. There were several waves for each distance and the tunnels made running a whole new experience.

Absolutely unique. One tunnel is 1KM , Other is 1 mile. you go through them and back, twice. So you spend the majority of this run underground and out of the heat and sun. Absolutely unique run and I really enjoyed it, very flat

An extravagant route. One of the best extravagant routes for a PB on a half marathon! Fantastic tunnels to cool off in whilst undergoing the route and an overall flat course; to enable a PB!
