Did the 10 Miles in 2020

It was very good race. Volunteers were wonderful - especially in the bitter cold. And bravo to the tamberine toting cheerleaders walking around the course. Only think that I would be great for you to consider it so make it plastic free. Water was in large plastic bottles, and some of the snacks were in plastic bags.

Did the 10 Miles in 2019

Overall satisfied with the event organization, track was interesting but in a good way! Usually not happy with the way RunThrough calculates the race distances but this one was done right. Maybe only thing was the passage to next lap a bit narrow if there are more than 3 runners close to each others. Anyway, would definitely do it again!

Did the Half Marathon in 2019

This half marathon was very well organised, with a helpful crew for bag drops, water and snacks. The support crew were also great at cheering us along when we needed it most. I enjoyed the atmosphere. Even though the course was a little monotonous, each lap brought cheery smiles and good vibes from the support team. My advice would be to pace yourself as its 13 laps!

Did the Half Marathon in 2019

I think this is a good 'casual' racing in preparation of a bigger event. It's a 1 mile lap plenty of turns that makes the distance calculation on the gps quite inaccurate at times (not much though!). Organisation is clear and smooth, however I believe they should not allow kids (1 - 2 years old) to stand on the road with their parents as it's dangerous for them. I also believe the medals could be a little bit more 'stylish' and different for each event (I should not be getting the same medals of somebody who ran 5k, I believe, but this is a minor thing).Atmosphere is ok, a bit cold, not much 'entertainment' but I did not expect much. The type of attendance is very diverse and it attracts a lot of 'walkers' and 'very slow runners' so not really competitive.Results and picture are available almost immediately however the pictures are not searchable, so you need to look at the entire album to find yourself.Much better than a training and allows you to concentrate on your pace as the course is a repeating short loop.

Did the 10 Miles in 2019

Really well organised event and the volunteers/staff really helped keep me going across the line! When the going gets tough the other competitors around really helped to push me on...I well recommend giving the odd race a go!

Did the 10k in 2018

Personally I followed a couple around the course and they came through the finish line. I was handed my medal and i then stopped and looked at my watch. It seemed wrong. The other couple seened to end race after lap 5 . I handed medal bavk snd carried on to complete the 10k . It is awgul race with hills and unmarked laps :(
