Loved it. Wet and muddy but great course and brilliant atmosphere despite the rain! Cake at the end was a lovely touch and very welcome!

The course was lovely with masses of bluebells. It was muddy but otherwise a lovely route. Unfortunately arriving at the event there was a big queue for numbers which meant the race didn't start on time. They needed more helpers to organise the registration.

The start of the 10k (and therefore the 5k that was after it) was frankly a shambles! The timing people were valiantly trying to log people in and issue numbers, but their data base didn't have all the entries as I understand the cut-off was not activated, there were many late entries, and this swamped them as people had to be added in manually. I had been volunteering a few weeks before with the same people and we had no issues at that event, so it did seem the issue lay with the organiser in this case. It's a shame as the route itself did not disappoint, the bluebells were amazing.

I felt sorry for the organisers as far more runners than they had expected turned up which led to long queues to collect numbers. The 10k obviously couldn't be started on time so it was a good decision to let us start as soon as we were ready. Although I timed myself on Strava I had not expected my result to be consolidated in with everyone else's so that was a pleasant surprise. Well done Mike for keeping a cool head and sorting us all out!

Please post race numbers in future, it would save a lot of the hassle we had at the start (or alternatively have more than 1 person handing out the bibs). Would also be good to have race registration closer to the carpark if possible. Course was well marked and great fun.

Really lovely run, course was a little long but I personally enjoyed every bit of it! Stunning views and bluebells. More hilly than I thought it’d be and was wet and very muddy in places.. still loved it! You can see it’s in its first few years on organisation but it’ll get better and better so no hard time from me! I’ll BE BACK NEXT YEAR FOR SURE!!

Disappointingly disorganised at registration, queue scarcely moved for a long time and no information as to why. There appeared to be issues with Timing Monkey so as a result, no official start and no official time, glad I had my Fitbit. Other than that it was a lovely route, signage was very good and the marshalls were encouraging and friendly.
