I enjoyed the course very much. It was a lovely experience to see the beautiful deer and the scenic landscape. However, I also had a minor unpleasant encounter with one of the staff members. He was quite rude and impatient when he was directing the runners. I wouldn't have minded; however, he shouted at me and my sister when we were approaching the finish line, “Come on girls, you only did 5k, you should be sprinting to the finish”. I felt that this was a little discouraging and we were trying our best! My sister had just started running and she was already feeling self-conscious. This was supposed to be a fun challenge for us, not a competition. Apart from this incident, everything else was wonderful and I would recommend this course to anyone who loves nature and running and have to point out that every other staff member was wonderful.

Nice course, saw some deer which was lovely and the views were lovely. Struggled with the hills but I'm a beginner so it was a good challenge for me!

Not sure why but I thought this was a trail run, so a little disappointed it was more like a 10k park run. Though running in beautiful surroundings was wonderful. Even saw a few deer. I would recommend it and will return next year.

The 10K would be better if it wasn't just 2 laps of the 5k

Enjoyed the race and beautiful scenery. The only thing I would have changed is the layout of the course. For the half marathon I would have preferred to have ran for a longer loop around the park instead of the same 4 loops. Overall a good time. Thanks!

Small scale . Friendly . Lovely atmosphere . Very helpful team - who not only answered questions but were extremely supportive and cheery ! Lovely venue . I prefer not to do laps but Richmond park was very pretty despite the draught and deer were grazing and hanging out .

Excellent race and it was awesome to have engravers there for the medals! The mens toilets at Sheen gate were out of order so everyone was having to use the ladies and there just weren’t enough meaning I literally had to sprint to the start line which was frustrating when one or two portaloos would have alleviated this.
