Use different color numbers to separate 5K and 10K contestants. Staff can more clearly tell runners where to go and pass the finish line.

Better briefing might have prevented misroute. Despite that , enjoyed it and having the use of the bandstand really added to the experience

Great event and atmosphere. It's already been mentioned in an email sent out but the course was not well marshalled which caused runners to go the wrong way for two laps.As expected, this will be fixed for the next event and it will be 5/5.

Poorly managed and needed more marshalls. Terrible warm up. Awful music. Atmosphere was good but mainly driven by participant enthusiasm.

The route was not property marked and not marshalls for the first couple of laps at main turns. Most of the runners went on a wrong route for the first 2 laps till marshals were put in place

Really enjoyable, well organised event.Having bag drop was very useful. Liked also that you select ‘goodies’ rather than having a bag with things that you don’t really need, therefore less waste

Had a great run. Enjoyed the atmosphere at the bandstand post-run (it’s nice to have somewhere to sit) and the DJ was just my vibe! I liked that each lap of the 5K course was different. Would definitely run again with Up and Running Events.
