Funny way to get people to move! Too busy later on for more talented runners. And the corners are too sharp and slippery for them. Thanks for the volunteers and organisation!

Thank you for the support and organisation, I was fond of pretty much everything, the only thing I was missing was the last lap of the half-marathon wasn't all signed pre-race and eventually marked as ''0.5 miles'', it took me however, nearly 4 minutes to conquer which implies it had to be longer and likely mismeasured by the organisers. Generally happy for my results, however, couldn't do strong finish due to longer than expected distance in the last lap

I loved it - at first I thought doing 6 and a half laps of the park would be a bit of a challenge - it wasn't - doing a HM there was like doing a track race on a much larger scale.

A great race location, Victoria Park is stunning in the autumn. Easy for supporters to come and cheer you on. Nice flat course. Nice to have the 5k and 10k runners out with us for part of it.

This was my first 10k and I enjoyed it overall - your volunteers were absolutely awesome and even though I was one of the slowest 10k times I didn't feel out of place.
A little more signage for 10k runners would have been good - I wasn't sure where the lap started and ended so was relying on my app. Having said that, your volunteers were very proactive and clear when it came to the time where 10k people were finishing and were funneling off from the main route.
Overall I'd definitely recommend this event.

Half marathon involved doing 6 laps. My only gripes are that they didn't clean up any of the super-slippery leaves, which would have been especially handy on the sharp corners. It's not fun having to avoid injuring yourself on a crowded course; for something that wouldn't have taken very long to clean up. Another bit of the course had horse-poo in the middle which they also didn't remove.

The route was fairly dull to be honest. The lack crowds / support didn’t help and although your own staff did a great job it’s a venue I wouldn’t return to in the future.
