Good run, although hills were tough! Course was wet and boggy in places. Well organised and marshalled, not too crowded and atmosphere and medal were great.

Great fun run, perfect for beginners or first time race. Great venue, fun atmosphere and great value for money.

I really enjoyed this race but would prefer the 5k and 10k races were split start times as the start was very congested and with narrow paths it was hard to pass people for the first mile

The food on offer when you are participating in a run...poorly cooked bacon sandwiches/donuts which cost a fortune and were riddled in mountains of sugar..very very poor effort..last year you were entitled to admittance into the park which was open! Why did you choose a weekend when the park was not open..took my 3 children and it’s quite a long drive..to do a 2km run with very few animals to see and then drive back..these feelings were expressed by many!whether they choose to give you there feedback is up to them.. next year provide better quality/value food/fruit and the park to be open for everyone who has driven a reasonable way and want to have some fun afterwards..This years event -👎🏿

Brilliantly run event by AAT as usual. Really fun familt atmosphere. Nice combination of flat and inclines. Definitely a course for a PB. Looking forward to booking the same event for 2020. Massive thumbs up from me.

Fun course, always something to look at. More hilly than expected. Annoying to have to type minimum Of 100 characters in a feedback box before allowed to submit it.

Great race again, same as last year, really enjoyed it! Always well organised. Forgot about the hills!! Went too fast out the blocks! Ha ha

As ever with AAT very well organised event. Very family oriented but too many kids for my liking. Course was boring in parts and too buzy with bottle neck. I walked most of the first km because it was so crowded

As a slow runner & Party At the Back-er, I was very impressed by the support offered from the race officials throughout. The water stations, medals, post race snacks etc. were still in good supply when I crossed the finish line as the last runner for the race. Kyra the tail runner was brilliant. She was close enough if I needed her, but kept enough of a distance between so I didn't feel like I was being chased to finish quicker than I could.Even the support from fellow participants was great. People who had finished their races were supportive as I made my way slowly through the event.I was apprehensive about running and had contacted the organisers in advance about cut off times, support etc. & was reassured that they don't pack up till the last runner is through... and they didn't! It is a really inclusive event - hilly in places for a newbie like me - but well worth it, especially the big hug from or if the organisers at the end!
