Really enjoyed the experience. Only thing was lack of information prior to the run. As this was my first run through event and myself and my sister we’re waiting for promised email with all the details. I joined the Facebook group and they were super helpful. Great fun, lovely atmosphere.

The only minor thing is I wish the 10K runners and faster 5K runners didn't need to repeat the laps. The slower runners didn't stay on one particular side of the course, so there was a bit of chaos when people on their 3rd or 4th lap needed to overtake behind slower runners.

We thought it was well planned, structured and the volunteers helped massively. Will be doing another one definitely.

I did two races of 10k in London with RunThrough now. Both of them were very good! You can just pick up your bib number on the race day! There will be a bag drop area for you as well. Also free photos from the organizer too (make sure to spot the photographer and smile!)

Very friendly volunteers that helped encourage the runners. Queues were very long for the toilets, so having a few more of these would have been helpful.
