Did the race in 2023
Everyone was very friendly and I enjoyed the scenic route in the beautiful gorge but would have preferred the half to just go up to Telford park then return (as the ultra does) through Ironbridge. The arrows marking the route were hard to see. I had to ask parkrunners for directions and took a wrong turn through town, as several others did. The turnaround point was easy to see but I was a little disappointed there was no obvious finish line and my arrival seemed to be a surprise. It would also have been nice to have a bit of a ceremony made for those who would have been podium finishers.

Did the race in 2023
The course was poorly marked and lots of runners both, Half and Ultra Marathoners, consequently got lost. I was disappointed that chalked arrows were not clear which affected my running performance. I will email further feedback.
