Really fun morning. Great atmosphere. Very friendly and not intimidating at all. Very easy to collect race number on the day. I know Victoria park well and it can be tricky running here even solo as it gets so busy. But Marshals handled it well. Already signed up for next month!

This was my first race ever. It was a truly incredible experience. The vibes were amazing and I got to beat my goal of sub60 10K… finishing in 53.49. Congrats to the organisers and everyone that participated. Thank you

Lovely event (I did the 10k). Well organised and friendly. Decent route for a pb. Three laps so if you don’t like laps it might not be for you - but they are scenic laps of this very nice park. Mile/km markers are not that helpful given that three different distances were being run and laps are also involved, so best to keep count of your own laps and/ or keep an eye on your watch.

I did the Half marathon Was only made aware of 11.49 cut off time for Half I Asked to start at 8.30 This was not on the booking info page I am 62 and slower It was a great day and a great atmosphere Very friendly

A well organised race on a great route and it started on time, cannot fault organisers at all so thank you! The one downside was that two runners near me at one point almost came to blows as one spat near the other one. They then proceeded to trade insults and be aggressive to one another before one ran off. Just unnecessary as the running community is usually friendly and positive overall...(no fault of the organisers).

Great event. Well organised, easy to register and drop your bag, and plenty of toilets. The course is flat and the wide path make it easy to overtake and not get caught behind others. The RunThrough team have pulled it off again.

Very well organised event, plenty of staff to help with anything you might need. A lovely park , flat course and plenty of toilets!

I am currently doing one of these events every month. The Victoria Park half was extremely well organised with plenty of helpful volunteers. Unlike some venues there was plenty of portable toilet facilities and the PA provided clear instructions on the day. Some may feel the 7 Lap course was a little repetitive but I felt it provided you with encouraging goals and marker points around the the easy to follow route !

Good atmosphere helpful staff and plenty of space for warm up and stretches and food also . Only downside was no toilets on the route not so much of an issue for me doing 10k but for people doing half marathon some were struggling.

A very well organised race, great course to PB a half marathon. Good warm up and clear communication. Easy to follow and well marked to keep the route clear of public.

Very well set up, no frills. 10K pacers for 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65 mins!

Seb

Was very good. Very clear instructions, race number sent out in advance. Very well organised, great MC, very clear instructions, great volunteers. Always have a good run with them. Minus 1/2 point as the finishing line photographer was standing in the wrong place I think to get a good photo.

Sade

Did the 5k, was challenging but crossing that finish line was a feeling like no other. The sign post markings were a bit confusing though, had to check my watch to know if I had almost ran a 5k or not

Really well organised event by RunThrough. The participants and crowd were great, the atmosphere was pretty good and Victoria Park was fun to around in especially with the sun out.

Really well organized, nice people, nice place. Good memories.

Paula

Such a well organised and fun run. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because they ran out of the 10k medals so I got a random generic event medal that wasn't as nice. Can't lie I was gutted 😭 They obviously know how many people are taking part ahead of time so should have enough medals.

Did the half at Victoria park despite heavy rain a great race to get ready for the London Marathon in April, well organised plenty of snacks and drinks, had to keep count of times around park but got there with help from Shokz 😃 plenty of toilets (got there early so was clean, overall a great race for all abilities, got a PB as it’s quite flat would definitely recommend.

Martin

Well organized. Great even despite the rain. Mile/km markings for half marathon were confusing though.

Beresford

Well organised race. Nice and flat course, plenty snacks after the race to replenish the body. The only downside was the toilets which were extremely dirty.

Great day and well organised…… No water in the toilets to wash your hands.

Lovely flat run, opportunity for a good warm up. Everyone was very friendly and supportive which made it a great venue for my first half marathon. Had music around the course and people dancing/ hyping you up to keep pushing. Only downside is the fact it’s 6.75 laps which can get repetitive but there’s plenty to look at as you’re going around so you don’t get too bored!

Becky

Really brilliantly organised event. Super easy to understand for first timers (me), good aid stations, loads of great volunteers and an encouraging atmosphere - especially over the line. Huge range of runners so there's always people around you. Highly recommend.

Alexis

Such a great run, beautiful park, so nice and flat, excellent for spectators with multi-laps, lush cafes and playground on route. Officials were really friendly and encouraging and kudos to the steel drummer who bashed out a different tune for each loop!

Paul

Great race - PB potential given it is super flat, organisation clear and superb marshals. Despite having 3 different races in progress at once, everything ran really smoothly. Extra kudos for the marshal between the water station and the sharp bend - he made us laugh on each pass… Multi lappers aren’t usually for me, but would recommend and definitely consider doing again in the future. Also recommend the cafe at Victoria Park for great pre and post run refreshments.

Phillip

Was my first run ever, trained for 6 weeks roughly 3-4 times a week, not an athlete I must say, but the event was extremely well organized, so many runners! I finished the 10km run in 1h 23mins everything from the race pack collection/bag drop/hydration station/marshalls were fantastic would recommend and ill definitely be coming back again soon.
