Event Details

What’s Included

Finishers medal

Water stations

Photography by David Hawtin

Sporting print t shirt

Raceday Logistics

Race start is from 10am

Kit List

There are no specific kit requirements but the route is always on road so there are no need for trail shoes - normal running trainers are great!

Spectators

There are spaces for spectators all along the route and the roads are very quiet - please be cautious if you are driving that there may be a runner around the next corner!

Volunteers

On Your Marks are an awesome organiser set up in memory of a budding 14 year old triathlete who died of meningitis - they're always very keen for volunteers and you can reach them at [email protected]

Hello, a friend of mine is no longer able to run the half. Am I able to have her number transferred to me? I note entries have closed. Is this because they are full? Is there any chance that my daughter could sign up for the 10k? And my husband for the half. We would be coming from Bournemouth so want to make it a worthwhile weekend to remember.

Hi, this event didn’t happen. People turned up to the event to participate but no one turned up to organise the event. No one at the time could get hold of On Your Marks Events to find out what was going on. Do you know anything about this event being cancelled or can you help to find out what happened?

Utterly terrible and not worth a rating. The event organiser On Your Marks Events did not show up. So kept booking fee and did not refund the money. Lets' Do This promised a refund, but after contacting three times they too did not fulfil their obligations. Total rip off. Have reported to the Police and Action Fraud. Do not book this event or with this organiser.

I had contacted the company via email three times over as many months including last week requesting race instructions but no reply to any of them. I didn’t travel from the south coast in the end and so relieved I didn’t seeing that it never took place. Livid someone has stolen my entry fee.

Completely disappointed and ripped off - the event organizer did not turn up.
John Karl Tanton at On Your Marks Ltd - complete scammer and con-artist. Avoid this man and his events company at all costs.

Absolutely disgusting! No preparations were made for this; no road signs or banners to mark route or promote the run. And no rep or organiser turned up. Nothing but a scam!

Absolute scammer. Organisers simply didn’t show up. No cancellation and no refund. Read all the other negative reviews and do not sign up!

No one showed to organise this event. No communication to say the event had been cancelled. Very disappointing and will avoid events organised by On Your Marks Events in the future.

Did the 10K in 2019
The event organiser didnt even show up! Ignored all our calls and decided to leave a bunch of runners waiting at the event start without telling anyone it wasnt going ahead. Disgusted beyond belief! Dont book in on any events run my On Your Mark's Events as they probably wont even show up even though they took our money!
