Small, no nonsense event. Efficient registration. Course a bit tedious doing 5 laps of the same thing but I knew that when signing up. Shame medals weren’t ready though.

Well-organised and with enough runners that you always felt part of a big event. It is just 5 or so laps of the park which some people might find a bit boring but I found really helpful in terms of pacing myself. Very wet day but that didn't dampen the support at the finish line. Great half to do with friends as easy to get a place and really central!

Great flat (mostly) race, good organisation, would do it again! The race is fairly low key, not too many spectators. Regents Park is a nice setting.

If you are looking for a crowd to cheer you on and get you through the wall, then forget this race...it's not for you. I did find a group of runners around the same pace as me and we all sort of clubbed together to set pace and push each other on - it's that type of event - a run for runners. Course is great and I don't actually mind the loops - 4 would have been ideal, though 5 is not too much of a stretch. Only two longish uphill slops, but they are set-off by the following flow down-hill all making for a great course to set a PB, which I managed to pull. All in all, well organised, started on time, sufficient water stops and a cracking overall feel to this event!

I had a great run today and got my pb! A great course to do a pb and lovely staff and Marshalls. A really beautiful medal too . Only thing I would say is a few posters up outside Regents Park entrance for arrows to registration and start as we were circling for a while in the taxi this morning.

This was a great prep race of the London marathon - fast and flat. Laps isn't the most exciting, but it helps with pacing and it meant there were always others to push off along the course. It was quite low key but that suited me. Definitely good value and I appreciated the flapjack at the end!

This is definitely a race organised by runners, the field is pretty small so don't expect any fanfare or cheering crowds. It does exactly what it says on the tin, great value for money and lots of nice people. The route is just laps of the park so great for pacing yourself and getting a PB, but pretty monotonous (apart from spotting the occasional giraffe in the zoo which is amazing!) Great training race for London Marathon, would recommend.
