The atmosphere was brilliant, great fun, even when we were queueing up to start, lots of entertainment on the way round as well as looking at all the London buildings. The only slight downside was the distance and organisation of the baggage drop.

My third time running the winter run and loved it every time. The warm up and atmosphere at the start seems smaller now but still loads of fun for a great cause.

Really good race to do generally. The music and the bands weren't as enthusiastic as the previous years

Always a great day and very well staffed and organised. Lots of encouragement and entertainment along the route and though the bag drop seemed a bit of a schlep and big queues, it was very quick and really not too far to go to leave bags. Lots of toilets. Great to run around the centre of London with no traffic. Been doing it for ten years and although it is a lot bigger than it was at the start, it’s no less fun or emotional. Thank you organisers. Will be back next year!
