I enjoyed the course itself though there was 'minor confusions' when organising runners into 10k & 10mile start lines.There was also a volunteer who I ran past during the route & another volunteer had to redirect me... Though this was minor & not an issue.Lastly the water stations handed out tiny cups of water instead of the normal plastic cup size which I did not like. Overall I would give 7 out of 10 as the run was still organised well with lots of friendly helpful people.

Very little support outside of people I know and sparse marshals - the critical one was pretty much hidden at the farleigh turn around meaning runners went past and weren’t rerouted. Shame.

The communication up to the day was good. The course itself was good and although narrow it seemed the right number of runners without it feeling too tight along the riverside, with the staggered start helping.The communication on the day was poor and no one seemed to know when or where to start.A simple fix would have been to have all runners in the amphitheater, located between the registration and start line, 10 mins before the first runners start and brief them there. Instead everyone was at the start line at the first set off time and it was a little chaotic.There was noise of people missing or misunderstanding the turning points in the course and overshooting. Maybe some uturn signage along with the Marshall would make this clearer.Registration and post run was good though.

Great little event. Nice and low key if you’re doing your first race. Course is flat and has pb potential, but there can be a bit of congestion overtaking and with faster runners coming back towards you on the footpath. Nice medal and great organisation. I’ll be back.

The race was supposed to start at 9:30, however it was then decided thatthe 10 milers would go off first leaving the 10K departing 15 minutes later. The start line was in a ridiculaous position, being up a short steep hill and with the number of people it wasn't pleasant and it was slippery. There were drink at 2K which is far too early and then the same position but on the way back at 8K, bit too late (positioning of water at either 5 or 6K would have been better). When crossing the finishing line I was presented with an out of date medal, it was dated August 2023 and my running friend who wone a trophey was give a 23 year old bottle of what was probal;y once white wine, but now lloked like vinegar. A group of three other ladies were called up to get a trophey only to then be told to give them back as the wrong names had been called out. Another friend of mine who was in the junior glass came first in his age catorgory and didn't receive a trophey where as in the past that age catorgory has been included in the trohpey presentations. It was a great route and I enjoyed the run, but the actual event organisation was rather a shambles.

There seemed to be quite a few runners who registered online in the week of the event who weren't on the start list causing a number of us to have to re-register on a notepad. Not ideal, not a huge issue! But definitely something you'd like to avoid in the period just before a competitive run. Otherwise all staff super friendly!

To have Marshall’s with a hi vis. Signs for 10k/10 mile as some did extra on 10km

Very nice route and competitive race. I didn’t realise at the time that your results are printed out and it wasn’t immediately clear to me how to obtain them afterwards but I figured it out in the end

Definetly longer than 10k, lots of bottlenecks which were not sign posted so almost got wiped out by other runners who wanted to win the race. Good refreshments at the end and lovely staff.

Really enjoyable event and, being quite flat, a decent time can be had. Lovely scenery along the riverside. I'll be back next year!
