Did the 1 Mile in 2019
Well organised great first fun run experience for our 6 year old and if you lucky you made it onto the BBC red buttonDid the 1 Mile in 2019
This was my second year running it with my son, who is 11. The activities in the park are great, the atmosphere and route are excellent. We even had Mo and the mascots race in our wave, and it was lots of fun. So good seeing so many people with their kids running it. Highly recommended:)Did the 1 Mile in 2019
Never having raced a mile before, I didn’t really know what to expect. This was well organised, and even though I was in the 22nd wave, it was running exactly to schedule! Route was very central and easy to follow, with helpful distance markers even on such a short run. Medal at the end gorgeous, and my official time was text to me practically as I crossed the line!Did the 1 Mile in 2019
Fantastic event for the family with great organisation throughout the day and loads of stuff to keep everyone entertained. We were in wave 19 of 36 and everything ran on time, from bag drop to start time. All very efficient and a fantastic atmosphere. Only £8 per adult and kids are free. Am sure we will be back againDid the 1 Mile in 2017
Unique event - great atmosphere, very family-friendly, and the race only takes a few minutes! Worth hanging around afterwards as there are lots of food stalls and when the sun is shining the Mall / Green Park are great places to be!Did the 1 Mile in 2014
One of the best races I've ever done. Atmosphere is electric and the whole event feels very professional.
