The course was multiple laps across the Olympic Park, but at the back, not past the Olympic stadium and it felt like running a 10k through a car park sadly, nothing to look at at all and not like the pictures in the marketing. Lovely people though, excellent marshaling and really well organised

As always a very well organised race. My only comment would be with the change from the usual / previous course, this new route encountered more tight corners and i think people enjoy the usual running around the outside of the stadium etc

Well run and easy to navigate the arrivals process. The course was a little dull, considering how big and nice the rest of the Olympic park is, but it was still enjoyable as the atmosphere was good and I only did 5k (2 laps) so the lack of interesting scenery was not a problem.

I thought the course was good, nice and flat, managed to set a PB. The organisation was brilliant and there was plenty of support from those volunteering! Overall a brilliant day and I’ll certainly be booking again!

So many laps around the same space. Not necessary in a 10k. Also the km marking were all over the place. Completely wrong.Good atmosphere however and enjoy your other events.
