The whole experience was great, but I’d like a very special mention for the marshalling which was superb. The event was superbly organised too. Please pass on mega thanks to all the Marshalls!!

Very well organised, everyone was super friendly and helpful. A bit of an underpass overload but enjoyable non the less.

It was an enjoyable event - 2x laps of the park and the cycle lanes is good, traffic free, and had some spectators on. However the park was very busy and there were people walking on the path so it made it a bit harder to keep the pace up. The volunteers and general vibe was really nice, it felt very local and club run! It is a cheap event for a good cause, and the home made cake sale afterwards was a really nice touch. More events should be like this!

Didn’t realise how many ‘hills’ there are in Stevenage! Might have to try it once more. Couldn’t find where results were easily. Kept showing me previous years results
