Route description
Starting from Walton Lane, the chip-timed 10km follows the River Thames towards Weybridge Town Centre. It then winds back through the finish line, for the first time, where you can experience the cheering crowd before heading back towards Weybridge along Oatlands Drive. Once past the Weybridge Monument, there is a scenic trip back along Walton Lane to the finish line.
Superbly well organised.. received all relevant info beforehand. Great course. V well marshalled and overall a fun and uplifting experience. Really looking forward to next year. Weybridge 10k
Fantastic local run with a good mix of a professional race feel with a warm welcome to all running abilities.
Really good morning! The set up was good and the DJ.. people really happy and friendly. The course was good, some hills but good all round. Looking forward to next years 😁🏃🏻♀️
Great event, well organised and marshalled. Only criticisms were, where were the pacers and tannoy not loud enough! Didnt see them, didnt hear an intro, ran on my own!
Literally amazing. From the first step we had such good fun. It was a challenge this time, but the new route was great. We're new to running but have got the bug! Looking forward to next year! One for the calendar - are the dates open yet?
It was great 10k but there are two things. First water was difficult to drink in plastic cups. A bottle would have been preferred to make it easier. Also the start was a bit of a walk away to get to. Would have been good if it had start and finished at the same place.
First time running the Weybridge 10k. Great event - well organised. Route is all road - mostly closed. Would benefit from being all closed. Route is largely flat with a few small hill sections but definitely not a hilly race. Really nice picturesque route with a mixture of rural roads and little bit of town. Some good local support along the way which I would imagine will grow as the event gets bigger. Really enjoyed and would do again.
The website describes a flat course when there are several small hills. It should be described accurately.
Great event, well organised. Needed more hydration available at the end of the race, especially for the time of year and the temperature. This was also true of the 2018 event.
next time the pacers need a sign to show who they are and people know where to go. great atmosphere!
Great local race, well organised. Finish funnel got a bit congested but apart from that would recommend
Very well organised, enjoyable 10k. The course was varied which makes for an interesting run. The banana at the end was appreciated!
First ever 10k and really enjoyed it . Good idea being able to pick the chips up before hand at weybridge sports . Plenty of friendly supportive marshals about . Whether it was just me doing the first one, but I was unable to see where the pace makers were actually situated at the start of the race which I would have found helpful. When you were at the back you couldn't hear the warm up which fine by me but maybe speakers at the back would help others .. Plenty of room and space at the village start and atmosphere was good and having bag drop was handy ..organisers kept you updated with emails and face book updates which was handy leading up to the event. Shall enter again next year .
Start was a bit of a free-for-all, in other events they get runners to depart in waves, depending on your expected finish time. I found the up-hills a bit tiring - there were more of those than I realised - and people may not be aware that this event can be more challenging than some other 10ks. Great atmosphere though and nice surrounds. Oatlands Drive section felt a bit close to the traffic.
Honestly so much fun. Beginner friendly. Loved the free photos. Will definitely be taking part next year!
I thought the course was good, not too hilly but not all flat, so good for everyone. Would be better if it was all closed roads though, as Oatlands Drive is very narrow in places if just on the path - can be dangerous if someone in front has to stop suddenly or falls, etc.<br />I think it seemed fairly well organised with lots of marshalls, etc, although I think you definitely need more toilets available at the start - the queues were ridiculous. It also wasn't that clear where the exact start was as everyone moved down the road towards the chip plates.... that could have done with having a few high up flags or something that could be seen from further away.<br />I'd also suggest possibly starting slightly earlier to avoid the heat more, when running the summer races.
This my 3rd time doing this race . Love it . Great support from the Marshalls and locals . Certainly helped me getting round the course as weather quite muggy .
Could not hear any of the warm up let alone see what was being done. A sign saying START would have been nice!
The Weybridge 10km was a really well organised and fun event. Although I could not finish the run due to an old ankle injury, our family team all enjoyed themselves and there was a great atmosphere! Thank you to the organisers!
My second Weybridge 10k and definitely not my last. Really well organised and a relatively flat route. Really good atmosphere before and after the race.
I travelled from Chelmsford the arranged parking was easy and at £1 cheap. Walked to the start by the Thames where rowing was in full swing. Nice event village with free drinks. <br />We were taken through a 5min warm up with Tony. Then trotted down to the start and set off spot on time. <br />It was nice to have enthusiastic spectators. Lovely route. Nice medal and a pb for 10k. <br />Win, win?
Well organised race overall. Mainly closed roads (one section of narrow pavement where you might meet some pedestrians or a car coming out of a small junction) and some good support on the way round. Nice medal and free race photos. Easy to access and the race hub is on a nice scenic spot by the river - slight shame that more of the route doesn't take in the riverbank. Parking in the nearby shopping centre is convenient. I would skip the 7 minute orchestrated warm up - I don't want to pull a muscle before I start! Overall, very enjoyable and would consider doing it again.
It was my first time on this course, all was nice organized, apart toilets , it was not possible use toy toy before start, were not enough them, for this huge minus. Keep going good work.Nice medal 🙏
Brilliant and super efficient organisation and great support along the route and at the finish. Nice medal too and always so lovely to have free race photos 😊 I’d happily recommend this race to anyone and even better, it caters for all levels 😊
Had the best time running this race yesterday! My advice would be bring cash as the coffee shop doesn’t accept card payments.
Fantastic event, well organised and great support. Definitely on my calendar for 2020. I ran with 2 colleagues who had never run a 10k before, at the start they said never again. By the time we got home it was whereally is the next one!
Great race & lovely course. Start a bit of a shambles - too many runners for the road at the start so lots of pushing & no audible start so people didn’t know what was happening. Once it started & after first K, once the field spread out was v good. Shame about the start.
A very well organised event with a beautiful course! Atmosphere towards the finish was amazing 🙌 Will run next year too.

Well organised, great atmosphere and good course. Only negative was no photos of me at the finish! Definitely will take part next year.
I felt the set up was great and everyone was very welcoming, I found the course to be a little confusing
Fantastic race, great support, and event better finishers medal! Both professional and fun. <br />Thanks for a great day out!
Weybridge 10km was really great, a mixture of flat and hills and some roads closed which worked well. The beginning was a little strange as we weren’t sure where we were starting from and one of the main roads could have worked better from being closed as the path was small for a Hurd of Runners!apart from those 2 small critics the event worked well, the route interesting and fun and the supporters were amazing 👍 I will most certainly do this event again next year 🏃♀️
Baggage area a little small and volunteers overwhelmed by amount of bags being deposited . <br />Pacers could have been better identified and areas to start in regard pace , even the Pacers were confused as where to start from , maybe some flags by the roadside . Sure some people running 60+ pace had their toes on the start line !
Loved the course. Great atmosphere.<br />Remember everyone you need to build your fluids up during the week leading up to the race. It was very hot 🥵. There was plenty of good organisation. Well done.
Nowhere near enough water being given out - small cups were only half full at finish line on a hot day
This was my first ever race and I had a very positive experience. It was a massive sense of achievement and has really inspired me to keep running and participating in events.
First time I’ve done an event like this<br />V impressed by organisation and atmosphere <br />Well done all. Would do it again
Great race and set up. Fully enjoyed it. Please do not change course, it was excellent. Thanks to all the organisers.
Great atmosphere, very good organisation, very friendly. Lot of fun, just enjoy it. See you next year.
Doubted i could complete it but smashed it (for me anyway). 100% would do it again! Matt the organiser was great at reassuring me the event was for everyone hardcore and beginners alike. great atmosphere and loads of encouragement from everyone!
On the whole the course was brilliant, although having some open roads meant it became a little bunched which dropped my splits for that period. Additionally the pacers didn't have any flags, so I didn't see them and was hoping for a PB. Lastly someone else claimed my running number, but this was quickly sorted out by issues me another one. These are very picky points, and the overall it was fantastic event, and I got a PB anyhow!
Great morning and very well organised. I loved the warm up at the start, that helped get everyone in the mood. <br />
My number ( which had been sent by email) was not there when I went to collect. You were not asked to show Any proof of entry when collecting so I was not surprised this went astray. No real explanation about what happened to it. Great race though and great atmosphere.
Start was unclear and could have done with starting people in waves and setting faster runners off first
Absolutely fantastic race day experience, best race I've done this year, fantastic organisation, route, crowds, medal and volunteers. The volunteers, marshals, registration people and everyone else involved made this an event to remember. Last year I did the Harry Hawkes, this year I decided to do the Weybridge 10 instead, and its proved to be a GREAT decision. I'll be back again next year for sure! Great stuff!<br />
Shouldn’t be advertised as flat-it isn’t. There was confusion over where the start line was. More announcements needed to be made regards this. Water stops needed signage as were easily missed. The water at the end needed to be further away from the finish line as the people waiting for a drink ended up blocking the finishers getting over the line.
The race was really great, loved the race village atmosphere and people cheering you on the whole way. The race route itself was lovely and I preferred it to last year however thought the start was very poorly organised. There was no wave system and we were told there would be pacers however I didn't see one the whole way. I spent the first km weaving in and out of people which wasn't ideal. Please make sure there's appropriate waves next time.
Great day. Great atmosphere. Well organised. Great communication. Results and photos could be faster.

Good atmosphere and organisation. The course I have given 4 stars as there was no bar to get the post run pint I use as my incentive to get round as quickly as possible! The route itself, organisation and atmosphere from supporting public was great though - really enjoyed and hope to come back next year.
Lovely run, well organised with very cheerful marshalls and a surprising amount of crowd support! It is mostly a very pretty route. The section along Oaklands Drive, however, really needed the road to be closed, bare minimum in one direction, as there were too many people trying to run down an average sized pavement, and frequently runners were forced into the road. 2 water stops - the 2nd: was a godsend, it was so hot! Love the medal.
No water at the finish as they’d run out.</p><p>Advertised as flat, which it strictly isn’t.</p><p>Best crowd I’ve experienced on a 10k to date.
Really loved the Weybridge 10k this year. Atmosphere was incredible throughout. Loads of really friendly marshalls and with a brilliant DJ making sure everyone was having a great time at the start and finish of the run. Great quality medal and just a brilliant morning out in the sun!
Turned up expecting a low key local race. WOW! what a well organised event with a great atmosphere, friendly runners, pacers and volunteers. Perfect for runners of all abilities. Will be there next year no question.
A well organised, friendly 10km race that starts nice and early. A few hills make it unlikely P.B. territory, but enjoyable anyway. Really good atmosphere before and after the race, with every one smiling and chatting and not seeming to take it too seriously. Recommended.
I did not like the long pavement section of this course- too narrow and could be dangerous for runners / cars in road.
Turned up expecting a low key local race. WOW! Blown away by such a well organised event with such a great atmosphere. Friendly runners, pacers and volunteers all combined to make a wonderful race for runners of all abilities.

Nice course with plenty of high 5's if you want them from small kids to big kids (adults)!<br />Good atmosphere, just get near the front for the start if you are looking for a fast time.

Did the 10K in 2019Great course and organisation. It was a hot day and the hills were a challenge but thoroughly enjoyed it.
Well organised race. OK medal, but nothing to write home about. Advertised as a flat and closed road event. It's neither! Large section on pavements along an open road and quite undulating along this section.
A lot of the route was on pavement which wasn't very wide with traffic thundering past; that is my only criticism.
Baggage drop was a little slow , maybe not enough people on hand and area rather small . Better indication of Pacers and where to stand for the start , maybe start zone flags by the side of the road , Pacers were unsure as where to be as well . People wh were +60finish time had their toe on the start line !
On the whole a well organised race. Good course it was nice have closed roads. A couple small points, there was not enough people handing out water particularly at the 1st station (I grabbed a cup but it was empty I could go back as there were too many people behind me. There was a logged jam at the end of the race to get medal, water, banana move the finish 50 metres along from Walton Bridge this would have been avoided.<br />
I traveled down from Milton Keynes and was immediately impressed with the friendly atmosphere and excellent organisation. It was a very enjoyable and varied course. This was my first Weybridge 10k and I’ll be back for 2020.
Great course and atmosphere!<br />Only advice would be to make the pace runners more obvious next year, it was impossible to find any at the start.

Did the 10K in 2019Very well organised and well done 👍 and to all the marshalls. Could have had 1 more water station as it was so warm! Great vibe!! Ache today but so worthwhile. Roll on 2020!!!
Just the best 10k around, simple! Will be back again for 2020 for an even better race and event!!!!!
At the finish it would have been good to be provided with some sort of energy drink to help replenish lost fluids - half a cup of water wasn't sufficient.
Great event, really nicely organised and a lovely day to run. Thoroughly enjoyed it after missing the last 2 years
Generally another very well organised AAT event, although with 1500 runners they could do with a louder PA at the start to get everyone in the right place - too many slow runners at the front getting trampled. Novice runners need advice on where to start - pace markers could have been more obvious.
Overall this was a great race. Lovely location alongside the Thames with the majority of the route on closed roads - these were often quite nicely shaded as well which was really nice in the heat. Only negatives were the section run alongside the open road which meant a bit of congestion and no real chance to pass other runners, plus at the finish all the fruit had run out well before the final runners and water was being poured into cups as runners arrived creating a bit of queue. But a great atmosphere and a lovely medal, would definitely run it again
The biggest 10k that I’ve run and was very organised. Not a completely flat course. Would do it again
Great to have a local event like this - not just for the runners but it’s good for general community spirit in the locality!<br />I liked the route - especially the Walton Lane and bit behind St George’s School/by Health Club. Although I understand logistical challenge, it’s a shame Oatlands Drive can’t be closed too as it felt bit congested on pavement but road too busy to overtake on. Also although I was by no means I fast finisher I definitely wasn’t the slowest but there were no bananas left and water had run out at water table. Don’t want to sound picky but was a shame that these after race treats had run out! But all in all a great event :-)
Fantastic organisation and great route. Thanks to the marshalls who were brilliant. Well Done! Looking forward to the next one.
Not to knock the organisation and the atmosphere the road from 4k to 7 k was awful and dangerous in places. Narrow pavement, exhaust fumes and unable to pass each other. It was awful and it went on to 7k. Nice medal but I won't be back.
A superb atmosphere at a well organised run. Part of the route was along an unclosed road but only from kilometer 5 for a few k's, by this stage the pack had spread out so there was little congestion. Thoroughly enjoyed the morning.
It was a great first rave for me! The only negative was a short section of the run was along a small bit of pavement which meant a few runners were stuck behind people or others taking a risk and overtaking on the road despot signs saying to stay on pavement- as a slow runner it just pit a bit of unwanted pressure on but overall loved it!!! Thank you!

Did the 10K in 2019I totally enjoyed the Weybridge 10k, it was very well organised and the people helping out at the finish were extremely helpful. I will definitely be signing up again. 😄
I enjoyed the course. Very scenic and all the shade was very welcome on a hot day. Friendly people and well organised race. I will definitely be back next year. Would be good to add some towpath sections as well.
Not enough water...the heat was forecast so should have been 3 stations more evenly spread and some bins a bit further along the route for plastic cups so don't have to stop. Km markers too small and couldn't see pacers. Really nice route though and pre race organisation/info was great.

Did the 10K in 2019What a great race! Well organised, great course, fab atmosphere and an awesome medal at the finish line to top it off.
Overall the race was okay, it was a hot day so the route being very open to the sun slowed people down a bit. </p><p>Would have liked for the start to have been closer to the Race Event area, and properly marked with the waves. Also the pacers were not visible so it was confusing to find your desired pacer.</p><p>The inclines were okay the start, but to have to do them again at the end of a race is challenging. Given that it is marketed as a fast course, that should be reconsidered.</p><p>Vendors on site were lovely, would have loved some crisps at the end with the banana. Also, the plastic cups at the end could be replaced, with either a bottle that can be refilled and places where people can refill their own personal water bottles. The cups were just too small and there were no bins aside from next to the water station to throw them away as a lot of plastic cups were around the parking lot.
Enjoyed the run and staff were helpful in telling me where to go. Course was challenging and I look forward to my next one
Fantastic event, very well organised and supportive of all ability levels which is fab. Will definitely be back next year.
Lovely surroundings and enjoyable race. Not being local, we had no idea of the course or start point location. A few signs saying how far you were from the start and more km markers around the course would have been really helpful! Also the Pacers having a flag or similar so they're more visible.<br />Supporters and marshals around the course were lovely, many thanks! Also a special thanks to the shop owner handing out bottled water!!<br />All things considered still a good race for only its 3rd year, things can only get bigger and better! Well done!
The atmosphere was definitely the best part of this race. Awesome DJ near the finish line and plenty of support from the volunteers and spectators on a nice course. I had a great time, would just have been nice if there was a bit more water available, but not always easy on a hot day.
Although the start was cramped, weaving in and out of people, the encouragement from the marshalls and the locals picked your spirits back up after the multiple hills. Would highly recommend.
Great atmosphere! The only improvement would be more space along Oatlands Drive as it was quite tight at times, especially when dodging lamp posts and signs. A road closure along there would make all the difference.
My first ten k<br />Loved it! It was very well organised, smooth, good atmosphere, good route, I would do another event
Great race, well organised, nice route.. except for the long stretch on the pavement next to traffic without shade. Good atmosphere.. friendly.
Fantastic event! Really well organised and route was lovely. Will highly recommend it and def sign up for 2020 again.
Had an absolute blast on the 10k race today! Still buzzing from the welcoming atmosphere that everyone creates! I will definitely sleep well tonight!
Start was a bit shambolic. Pens needed for runners of different speeds. PA system needed for announcements. But a nice course, encouraging Marshal's and a nice medal. Certainly worth doing again
Very well organised and enjoyable. Well done all! It was enjoyable and not too hot. Loved the medal thank you!
Well organised , lovely course and medal .<br />Great marshalls. Thoroughly enjoyed it despite the heat .
second year row I've done this race. course both times good and enjoyable always seems disorganized abit with starting moving this year but not really explained. need better mics.
I ran this event last year enjoyed the route,this year route was different but still enjoyed it,love a 10k.
This was my first time running the Weybridge 10km. I thought the atmosphere was great. The warm up was very difficult in the lane and I was quite far back so couldn't hear anything. And the lane being narrow made it difficult to get going initially. It was a well organised event, my only criticism would be that there was no water available at the finish when I got there (think it may have been restocked but not sure) and there were no bananas left. Think this needs to be looked at next year so we all get a fair chance of grabbing something
A really well organised well informed event nice medal I will be back next year <br />Well done weybridge a big pat on the back

Did the 10K in 2019Really easy to find, get ready and run it! Course was flat and speedy. Fun time had and would do it again 😁
I liked the course but the 2 hilly k's just after 5k and just before 10k were a total killer. One of the km stones was positioned around 0.7km so the next k was infinite. I know most people have smart watches but for some not using a timer it could be a tough finish thinking they are further ahead. <br />The race village was well set up and the atmosphere absolutely motivational! Well positioned water stations too. The only improvement I could recommend is that lining up to the start should be more organised, there were no visible pacer balloons so it was very hard to guess your starting position. I stood way too far from the start line and spent most of my first k overtaking everyone.
Very well organised and fabulous support from the public and Marshalls alike, great to have closed roads as well as some lovely scenery to run through
Wasn't clear where the start was and people missed the start! Course is hilly not flat, not enough water
Only complaint Sadly not enough bananas for all runners .. maybe due to other runners taking too many
Great course and great atmosphere but organization left a lot to be desired. The “start” hoop ie the otherwise of the finish was no where near the start. We didn’t want to do the warm up but found ourselves at the back of the field - nightmare - and we didn’t get the time we should have as a result - not happy 😢
Race was overall well organised and well organised. There were pacers but these needed to have a flag to help know where they were. Slightly confusing as place that says start wasn't start on the day.
Great atmosphere throughout the race with spectators encouraging us all along the route. Medal looks great. One negative is the open road section where the pavement got quite crowded and it was tricky to overtake. The closed section was brilliant.
What an amazing atmosphere. If this was your first time running a 10k you are in for a treat. The location and course was brilliant. You will find someone to run with or against in this race and love it!
Part of Chertsey runners who all had a Great time! Good to have closed roads and not have to worry about traffic.

Did the 10K in 2019The weybridge 10K was my first ever 10K, I am not the fastest runner, so I was a bit nervous. The course was great, challenging, but not too difficult. The atmosphere was fab. </p><p>Not once did I feel out of place, or “too slow” which I was worried about. </p><p>Can’t wait for the next one! 🏃🏻♀️
Great race and good atmosphere! The start was a little frustrating - waves would be good for next year. A few hills in there, but overall a fab event and would highly recommend it!
Very well organised race - lovely to run a local one. Nice local turnout from people and water stations good. :) Be back next year.
Fantastic location and well thought out course. <br />Thoroughly enjoyed running it, albeit a tad warm. Will definitely be back next year for a PB.
Another great race - fab organisation and Marshall support on the course <br />Even the local shop keeper came out with extra bottles of water ! Great local run with local support ♥️
Good course but I think the start could have been more organised and clearly marked - I didn't see the starting mat so started my watch too late. Friendly atmosphere and quite scenic. Parking in Walton is easy too.
Really good time! People are nice and friendly always there to help 😁 good course some hills. 😁🏃🏻♀️🏅
Start needs to be more organised with more sound system speakers, but wasn’t to bad.<br />Finish needs more marshals ushering people through as very congested but overall great event
I drive an hour for this event & wasn’t disappointed, great event & very well run. Will be back again.<br />Thanks to all involved 👏🏻
Good event. The only issue was the start line wasn’t clearly marked. My group thought it was further back at the finish line. We had a panic and ran to the start so ended up held up by the congestion on the narrow lane
The only thing I think that needs to be improved is the pacers. They need to flags so they are visible and the one I was following was very erratic and eventually stopped at about 8k!
The warm up was quite a crowded affair and so was the start and after a couple of K things settled down .</p><p>Advice for others it may take longer to leave Walton than run the 10K it self 😎
Great course and has a lovely community spirit. Shame pacers are hard to spot and follow- no flags or anything to clearly see them. Getting to start line is a little tricky so perhaps more pedestrian signs to clearly mark out the way to the start would help.

First official 10km Running Event & absolutely loved both the experience & the challenge! This Event is so well organised, the continual support & encouragement along the route was amazing & very welcomed!<br />Can't wait for the next one!
The attitude of the organisers was fantastic, and really made the run more enjoyable as they gave praise to all.
AAT always organise beautiful sustainable events. This is no exception; brilliant clear signage, jolly & thoughtful marshalling and excellent information before and during the event. I always really enjoy AAT events.
This events is great and hard work in 21 degrees.well managed.also great meeting the team from let's do this.
One point would be time markers at the start so people could start at their prospective time so as to ease congestion. Just a minor point other than that it was a well organised enjoyable race many thanks
It was very well organised! I Really enjoyed it. Thanks to all the people, organisers, supporters, medical assistance and everybody else who make it happen!
Overall a good course with some ups and downs to enjoy. This event was well supported at key stages.
Really enjoyed this race! Great atmosphere at the Start/Finish area, super supportive volunteers and a really nice medal! The short pavement section was a little congested with so many runners, but otherwise a fantastic (mostly) flat course with a really pretty stint along the river too. Highly recommend!
Good fun - sunny weather helped! DJ got you going. The start was a bit of a mess - should have had better pens at front for the real quickies - eg sub 40 - then sub 45, sub 50 etc. Too many sub 45s getting in the way!
Fabulous run, well organised and supported by the local community, can’t wait to do it again next year!
The course was fantastic, fairly flat with a bit of hill at the end that makes for a nice downhill run to the finish. Finish line atmosphere was amazing - the DJ in particular deserves a shoutout here.
Amazing experience and all the volunteers were amazing. <br />Only advice is don't rely on the Pacemakers as they didn't run to the pace timings and were very hard to spot.
Second time running this race and it was even better this year. The course was great (if not a bit hilly!). Atmosphere was electric, everyone was so supportive. The only thing I missed this year was starting off in timing groups but it didn’t dampen anything. Great event. Thank you

Did the 10K in 2019Road section was uphill and pavement too narrow as people were stopping or running slower so hard to get past and keep a consistent pace. <br />Needed more people at the water and medal station at the end - caused a backlog to the finish line.<br />Other than that - great location, lots of toilets and easy parking at the shopping centre etc! <br />
Great course and local support. I'll definitely be back. Thank you AAT events. Well done on a great race!

Did the 10K in 2019What a race! <br />It’s suitable for all level of runner, a bit undulating in places, but really friendly, well organise and well supported by the local community. Overall an excellent experience.
Great event! Course was the best of the 3 years that i have run it. Fantastic organisation as always
The Pacers were hard to see and didn't know where they were at the start. The Marshall's and volunteers were fabulous and encouraging, thank you for giving up you time. Great weather although a little sticky, but obviously out of your control. Thank you I enjoyed the run, I travelled from 40 miles away and it was well worth it.
It was quite hot so a few more water stations would have been great. Otherwise better route than when I did it in 2017
As a South African runner who moved to the UK this was my first road race in the UK. Well organised, course was good and definitely be back next year, this time having actually done some proper training!
First 10K, great way to start- really friendly atmosphere - great organisation. Thank you - now I need to keep it up, see you next year.

Did the 10K in 2019What an amazing race! Fantastic atmosphere, super encouraging Marshall’s, brilliantly organised. Highly recommend. Look forward to the next one.
It was fab and thought the atmosphere was fantastic. Better than the half marathon I did in same location last October. Only thing I felt was frustrating was the section which had to be run on the path. Otherwise enjoyed it.
Great course, well organised <br />Only criticism would be to give the pacers flags so we can see them. Apart from that, all brilliant
Very good atmosphere. There were people from all ages. Plenty of water at the pit stops. Overall it was a very good day.

So much fun, hard work, could’ve done with a bit more water stations, but glad I did it. Always an excellent crowd puller and it’s great having people cheer runners on!
It was a shame not to run along the actual river bank at any point, but generally the route felt safe, pleasant and well organised. They ran out of water at the finish for a while when we crossed the line. The marshalls were all very encouraging and the medal is a nice one! Will definitely be back next year xx
Absolutely loved the race today (after I had crossed the line)! The atmosphere was awesome and the support around the course was great. I will definitely be back next year to beat those hills again.
Really well organised and a good route. I’d definitely do this again. Minor criticism is the water in single use plastic cups. Any chance you could use paper cups in future?
Great morning well organised. Will definitely be back next year. Save a little in the tank for the last mile.
It was a warm day but the route and atmosphere was really good. I also thought that the pre-event updates were very clear and gave all the information I could possibly have needed. Excellent organisation - thank you
This was my first Weybridge 10k run. There was a superb atmosphere not only by the runners, organisers but also the amount of support around the route from locals. Great to have 2 water stations. Overall the route was challenging in parts but a pleasure to run.
Great fun to run through the local area. Organisation was good, although another water stop would have been better. Excellent medal!
First ever race and loved it ..as a beginner found some inclines tough . Marshalls were everywhere which was good to see..thanks for volunteering and organising..
Well organised, well marshalled race. Felt like a much smaller race than it was which made for a great morning. Great work keep up the good work.
Mostly flat, sadly lots of pavement on open roads but great pre- and post atmosphere, excellent marshalling and a real buzz crossing the finish line. No wonder it sells out every year!
It was my first event, and I was impressed with the atmosphere and support at the venue and also from the local residents.<br />I did find it strange that the participants seemed unable to throw their plastic cups from the water stations in the numerous bins provided and seemed to think it was acceptable to throw them in the road.<br />Well done to all of the runners raising money for charitable causes.

Did the 10K in 2019Great race! Only criticism for me, was lack of 'water guns' 😊 last year, kids with them made a big difference, it was so so hot!
Great day and enjoyed the course and support along the way. The pavement along oatlands drive was a little tough and the open roads were a welcome relief

Did the 10K in 2019This was my first organised run. Large field of people. Website was easy to register a place and to navigate. Took all the guess work out. </p><p>Arrived 30 minutes before run start. Great atmosphere. Really geeing everyone up. Route was superb. Closed roads made all the difference. </p><p>I will attend next years for sure.
I did enjoy the route for the race and the marshals were all great, thank you! I was however very disappointed to see loads of cups all over the roads right next to bins! Shame on you runners!<br />Also a little disappointed that there were no milkshakes or food of any sort left at finish line and I wasn't one of the last runners either.
Starting structure could be improved slightly, with people split by expected finish time, but only real issue in an otherwise great event - thank you for organising!
Loved it, even the uphill sections. Great organisation and good warm up with Frank. Will definitely be up for next year.
The first Weybridge 10km run was a great course with closed roads and a superb runners ' village'. Medal was amazing too. I feel the organisation for the inaugural race was poor especially providing information in the lead up to the event and the location of the start was nowhere near the runners village or warm up area. For 2019 the organisation and on the day logistics do seem to be better organised.
Just wanted to say a huge thank you for several well stocked water stations. Made a huge difference! Marshalls were really encouraging despite having to stand out in the heat. Love the medal - especially the note on the ribbon. Many thanks to all involved!!!
Thank you to all involved! Fab event even though it was rescheduled which must have made it very difficult, plus having to plan for people running in the heat. Organisers were amazing in the run up. On what must have been an incredibly busy week for them they still took the time to speak to me to make sure all was OK for me to participate.Those of us bringing up the rear still had lots of fun and got lots of encouragement from marshalls and the public.

Route description
Route description
Starting from Walton Lane, the chip-timed 10km follows the River Thames towards Weybridge Town Centre. It then winds back through the finish line, for the first time, where you can experience the cheering crowd before heading back towards Weybridge along Oatlands Drive. Once past the Weybridge Monument, there is a scenic trip back along Walton Lane to the finish line.
Superbly well organised.. received all relevant info beforehand. Great course. V well marshalled and overall a fun and uplifting experience. Really looking forward to next year. Weybridge 10k
Fantastic local run with a good mix of a professional race feel with a warm welcome to all running abilities.
Really good morning! The set up was good and the DJ.. people really happy and friendly. The course was good, some hills but good all round. Looking forward to next years 😁🏃🏻♀️
Great event, well organised and marshalled. Only criticisms were, where were the pacers and tannoy not loud enough! Didnt see them, didnt hear an intro, ran on my own!
Literally amazing. From the first step we had such good fun. It was a challenge this time, but the new route was great. We're new to running but have got the bug! Looking forward to next year! One for the calendar - are the dates open yet?
It was great 10k but there are two things. First water was difficult to drink in plastic cups. A bottle would have been preferred to make it easier. Also the start was a bit of a walk away to get to. Would have been good if it had start and finished at the same place.
First time running the Weybridge 10k. Great event - well organised. Route is all road - mostly closed. Would benefit from being all closed. Route is largely flat with a few small hill sections but definitely not a hilly race. Really nice picturesque route with a mixture of rural roads and little bit of town. Some good local support along the way which I would imagine will grow as the event gets bigger. Really enjoyed and would do again.
The website describes a flat course when there are several small hills. It should be described accurately.
Great event, well organised. Needed more hydration available at the end of the race, especially for the time of year and the temperature. This was also true of the 2018 event.
next time the pacers need a sign to show who they are and people know where to go. great atmosphere!
Great local race, well organised. Finish funnel got a bit congested but apart from that would recommend
Very well organised, enjoyable 10k. The course was varied which makes for an interesting run. The banana at the end was appreciated!
First ever 10k and really enjoyed it . Good idea being able to pick the chips up before hand at weybridge sports . Plenty of friendly supportive marshals about . Whether it was just me doing the first one, but I was unable to see where the pace makers were actually situated at the start of the race which I would have found helpful. When you were at the back you couldn't hear the warm up which fine by me but maybe speakers at the back would help others .. Plenty of room and space at the village start and atmosphere was good and having bag drop was handy ..organisers kept you updated with emails and face book updates which was handy leading up to the event. Shall enter again next year .
Start was a bit of a free-for-all, in other events they get runners to depart in waves, depending on your expected finish time. I found the up-hills a bit tiring - there were more of those than I realised - and people may not be aware that this event can be more challenging than some other 10ks. Great atmosphere though and nice surrounds. Oatlands Drive section felt a bit close to the traffic.
Honestly so much fun. Beginner friendly. Loved the free photos. Will definitely be taking part next year!
I thought the course was good, not too hilly but not all flat, so good for everyone. Would be better if it was all closed roads though, as Oatlands Drive is very narrow in places if just on the path - can be dangerous if someone in front has to stop suddenly or falls, etc.<br />I think it seemed fairly well organised with lots of marshalls, etc, although I think you definitely need more toilets available at the start - the queues were ridiculous. It also wasn't that clear where the exact start was as everyone moved down the road towards the chip plates.... that could have done with having a few high up flags or something that could be seen from further away.<br />I'd also suggest possibly starting slightly earlier to avoid the heat more, when running the summer races.
This my 3rd time doing this race . Love it . Great support from the Marshalls and locals . Certainly helped me getting round the course as weather quite muggy .
Could not hear any of the warm up let alone see what was being done. A sign saying START would have been nice!
The Weybridge 10km was a really well organised and fun event. Although I could not finish the run due to an old ankle injury, our family team all enjoyed themselves and there was a great atmosphere! Thank you to the organisers!
My second Weybridge 10k and definitely not my last. Really well organised and a relatively flat route. Really good atmosphere before and after the race.
I travelled from Chelmsford the arranged parking was easy and at £1 cheap. Walked to the start by the Thames where rowing was in full swing. Nice event village with free drinks. <br />We were taken through a 5min warm up with Tony. Then trotted down to the start and set off spot on time. <br />It was nice to have enthusiastic spectators. Lovely route. Nice medal and a pb for 10k. <br />Win, win?
Well organised race overall. Mainly closed roads (one section of narrow pavement where you might meet some pedestrians or a car coming out of a small junction) and some good support on the way round. Nice medal and free race photos. Easy to access and the race hub is on a nice scenic spot by the river - slight shame that more of the route doesn't take in the riverbank. Parking in the nearby shopping centre is convenient. I would skip the 7 minute orchestrated warm up - I don't want to pull a muscle before I start! Overall, very enjoyable and would consider doing it again.
It was my first time on this course, all was nice organized, apart toilets , it was not possible use toy toy before start, were not enough them, for this huge minus. Keep going good work.Nice medal 🙏
Brilliant and super efficient organisation and great support along the route and at the finish. Nice medal too and always so lovely to have free race photos 😊 I’d happily recommend this race to anyone and even better, it caters for all levels 😊
Had the best time running this race yesterday! My advice would be bring cash as the coffee shop doesn’t accept card payments.
Fantastic event, well organised and great support. Definitely on my calendar for 2020. I ran with 2 colleagues who had never run a 10k before, at the start they said never again. By the time we got home it was whereally is the next one!
Great race & lovely course. Start a bit of a shambles - too many runners for the road at the start so lots of pushing & no audible start so people didn’t know what was happening. Once it started & after first K, once the field spread out was v good. Shame about the start.
A very well organised event with a beautiful course! Atmosphere towards the finish was amazing 🙌 Will run next year too.

Well organised, great atmosphere and good course. Only negative was no photos of me at the finish! Definitely will take part next year.
I felt the set up was great and everyone was very welcoming, I found the course to be a little confusing
Fantastic race, great support, and event better finishers medal! Both professional and fun. <br />Thanks for a great day out!
Weybridge 10km was really great, a mixture of flat and hills and some roads closed which worked well. The beginning was a little strange as we weren’t sure where we were starting from and one of the main roads could have worked better from being closed as the path was small for a Hurd of Runners!apart from those 2 small critics the event worked well, the route interesting and fun and the supporters were amazing 👍 I will most certainly do this event again next year 🏃♀️
Baggage area a little small and volunteers overwhelmed by amount of bags being deposited . <br />Pacers could have been better identified and areas to start in regard pace , even the Pacers were confused as where to start from , maybe some flags by the roadside . Sure some people running 60+ pace had their toes on the start line !
Loved the course. Great atmosphere.<br />Remember everyone you need to build your fluids up during the week leading up to the race. It was very hot 🥵. There was plenty of good organisation. Well done.
Nowhere near enough water being given out - small cups were only half full at finish line on a hot day
This was my first ever race and I had a very positive experience. It was a massive sense of achievement and has really inspired me to keep running and participating in events.
First time I’ve done an event like this<br />V impressed by organisation and atmosphere <br />Well done all. Would do it again
Great race and set up. Fully enjoyed it. Please do not change course, it was excellent. Thanks to all the organisers.
Great atmosphere, very good organisation, very friendly. Lot of fun, just enjoy it. See you next year.
Doubted i could complete it but smashed it (for me anyway). 100% would do it again! Matt the organiser was great at reassuring me the event was for everyone hardcore and beginners alike. great atmosphere and loads of encouragement from everyone!
On the whole the course was brilliant, although having some open roads meant it became a little bunched which dropped my splits for that period. Additionally the pacers didn't have any flags, so I didn't see them and was hoping for a PB. Lastly someone else claimed my running number, but this was quickly sorted out by issues me another one. These are very picky points, and the overall it was fantastic event, and I got a PB anyhow!
Great morning and very well organised. I loved the warm up at the start, that helped get everyone in the mood. <br />
My number ( which had been sent by email) was not there when I went to collect. You were not asked to show Any proof of entry when collecting so I was not surprised this went astray. No real explanation about what happened to it. Great race though and great atmosphere.
Start was unclear and could have done with starting people in waves and setting faster runners off first
Absolutely fantastic race day experience, best race I've done this year, fantastic organisation, route, crowds, medal and volunteers. The volunteers, marshals, registration people and everyone else involved made this an event to remember. Last year I did the Harry Hawkes, this year I decided to do the Weybridge 10 instead, and its proved to be a GREAT decision. I'll be back again next year for sure! Great stuff!<br />
Shouldn’t be advertised as flat-it isn’t. There was confusion over where the start line was. More announcements needed to be made regards this. Water stops needed signage as were easily missed. The water at the end needed to be further away from the finish line as the people waiting for a drink ended up blocking the finishers getting over the line.
The race was really great, loved the race village atmosphere and people cheering you on the whole way. The race route itself was lovely and I preferred it to last year however thought the start was very poorly organised. There was no wave system and we were told there would be pacers however I didn't see one the whole way. I spent the first km weaving in and out of people which wasn't ideal. Please make sure there's appropriate waves next time.
Great day. Great atmosphere. Well organised. Great communication. Results and photos could be faster.

Good atmosphere and organisation. The course I have given 4 stars as there was no bar to get the post run pint I use as my incentive to get round as quickly as possible! The route itself, organisation and atmosphere from supporting public was great though - really enjoyed and hope to come back next year.
Lovely run, well organised with very cheerful marshalls and a surprising amount of crowd support! It is mostly a very pretty route. The section along Oaklands Drive, however, really needed the road to be closed, bare minimum in one direction, as there were too many people trying to run down an average sized pavement, and frequently runners were forced into the road. 2 water stops - the 2nd: was a godsend, it was so hot! Love the medal.
No water at the finish as they’d run out.</p><p>Advertised as flat, which it strictly isn’t.</p><p>Best crowd I’ve experienced on a 10k to date.
Really loved the Weybridge 10k this year. Atmosphere was incredible throughout. Loads of really friendly marshalls and with a brilliant DJ making sure everyone was having a great time at the start and finish of the run. Great quality medal and just a brilliant morning out in the sun!
Turned up expecting a low key local race. WOW! what a well organised event with a great atmosphere, friendly runners, pacers and volunteers. Perfect for runners of all abilities. Will be there next year no question.
A well organised, friendly 10km race that starts nice and early. A few hills make it unlikely P.B. territory, but enjoyable anyway. Really good atmosphere before and after the race, with every one smiling and chatting and not seeming to take it too seriously. Recommended.
I did not like the long pavement section of this course- too narrow and could be dangerous for runners / cars in road.
Turned up expecting a low key local race. WOW! Blown away by such a well organised event with such a great atmosphere. Friendly runners, pacers and volunteers all combined to make a wonderful race for runners of all abilities.

Did the 10K in 2019Great course and organisation. It was a hot day and the hills were a challenge but thoroughly enjoyed it.
Well organised race. OK medal, but nothing to write home about. Advertised as a flat and closed road event. It's neither! Large section on pavements along an open road and quite undulating along this section.
A lot of the route was on pavement which wasn't very wide with traffic thundering past; that is my only criticism.
Baggage drop was a little slow , maybe not enough people on hand and area rather small . Better indication of Pacers and where to stand for the start , maybe start zone flags by the side of the road , Pacers were unsure as where to be as well . People wh were +60finish time had their toe on the start line !
On the whole a well organised race. Good course it was nice have closed roads. A couple small points, there was not enough people handing out water particularly at the 1st station (I grabbed a cup but it was empty I could go back as there were too many people behind me. There was a logged jam at the end of the race to get medal, water, banana move the finish 50 metres along from Walton Bridge this would have been avoided.<br />
I traveled down from Milton Keynes and was immediately impressed with the friendly atmosphere and excellent organisation. It was a very enjoyable and varied course. This was my first Weybridge 10k and I’ll be back for 2020.
Great course and atmosphere!<br />Only advice would be to make the pace runners more obvious next year, it was impossible to find any at the start.

Did the 10K in 2019Very well organised and well done 👍 and to all the marshalls. Could have had 1 more water station as it was so warm! Great vibe!! Ache today but so worthwhile. Roll on 2020!!!
Just the best 10k around, simple! Will be back again for 2020 for an even better race and event!!!!!
At the finish it would have been good to be provided with some sort of energy drink to help replenish lost fluids - half a cup of water wasn't sufficient.
Great event, really nicely organised and a lovely day to run. Thoroughly enjoyed it after missing the last 2 years
Generally another very well organised AAT event, although with 1500 runners they could do with a louder PA at the start to get everyone in the right place - too many slow runners at the front getting trampled. Novice runners need advice on where to start - pace markers could have been more obvious.
Overall this was a great race. Lovely location alongside the Thames with the majority of the route on closed roads - these were often quite nicely shaded as well which was really nice in the heat. Only negatives were the section run alongside the open road which meant a bit of congestion and no real chance to pass other runners, plus at the finish all the fruit had run out well before the final runners and water was being poured into cups as runners arrived creating a bit of queue. But a great atmosphere and a lovely medal, would definitely run it again
The biggest 10k that I’ve run and was very organised. Not a completely flat course. Would do it again
Great to have a local event like this - not just for the runners but it’s good for general community spirit in the locality!<br />I liked the route - especially the Walton Lane and bit behind St George’s School/by Health Club. Although I understand logistical challenge, it’s a shame Oatlands Drive can’t be closed too as it felt bit congested on pavement but road too busy to overtake on. Also although I was by no means I fast finisher I definitely wasn’t the slowest but there were no bananas left and water had run out at water table. Don’t want to sound picky but was a shame that these after race treats had run out! But all in all a great event :-)
Fantastic organisation and great route. Thanks to the marshalls who were brilliant. Well Done! Looking forward to the next one.
Not to knock the organisation and the atmosphere the road from 4k to 7 k was awful and dangerous in places. Narrow pavement, exhaust fumes and unable to pass each other. It was awful and it went on to 7k. Nice medal but I won't be back.
A superb atmosphere at a well organised run. Part of the route was along an unclosed road but only from kilometer 5 for a few k's, by this stage the pack had spread out so there was little congestion. Thoroughly enjoyed the morning.
It was a great first rave for me! The only negative was a short section of the run was along a small bit of pavement which meant a few runners were stuck behind people or others taking a risk and overtaking on the road despot signs saying to stay on pavement- as a slow runner it just pit a bit of unwanted pressure on but overall loved it!!! Thank you!

Did the 10K in 2019I totally enjoyed the Weybridge 10k, it was very well organised and the people helping out at the finish were extremely helpful. I will definitely be signing up again. 😄
I enjoyed the course. Very scenic and all the shade was very welcome on a hot day. Friendly people and well organised race. I will definitely be back next year. Would be good to add some towpath sections as well.
Not enough water...the heat was forecast so should have been 3 stations more evenly spread and some bins a bit further along the route for plastic cups so don't have to stop. Km markers too small and couldn't see pacers. Really nice route though and pre race organisation/info was great.

Did the 10K in 2019What a great race! Well organised, great course, fab atmosphere and an awesome medal at the finish line to top it off.
Overall the race was okay, it was a hot day so the route being very open to the sun slowed people down a bit. </p><p>Would have liked for the start to have been closer to the Race Event area, and properly marked with the waves. Also the pacers were not visible so it was confusing to find your desired pacer.</p><p>The inclines were okay the start, but to have to do them again at the end of a race is challenging. Given that it is marketed as a fast course, that should be reconsidered.</p><p>Vendors on site were lovely, would have loved some crisps at the end with the banana. Also, the plastic cups at the end could be replaced, with either a bottle that can be refilled and places where people can refill their own personal water bottles. The cups were just too small and there were no bins aside from next to the water station to throw them away as a lot of plastic cups were around the parking lot.
Enjoyed the run and staff were helpful in telling me where to go. Course was challenging and I look forward to my next one
Fantastic event, very well organised and supportive of all ability levels which is fab. Will definitely be back next year.
Lovely surroundings and enjoyable race. Not being local, we had no idea of the course or start point location. A few signs saying how far you were from the start and more km markers around the course would have been really helpful! Also the Pacers having a flag or similar so they're more visible.<br />Supporters and marshals around the course were lovely, many thanks! Also a special thanks to the shop owner handing out bottled water!!<br />All things considered still a good race for only its 3rd year, things can only get bigger and better! Well done!
The atmosphere was definitely the best part of this race. Awesome DJ near the finish line and plenty of support from the volunteers and spectators on a nice course. I had a great time, would just have been nice if there was a bit more water available, but not always easy on a hot day.
Although the start was cramped, weaving in and out of people, the encouragement from the marshalls and the locals picked your spirits back up after the multiple hills. Would highly recommend.
Great atmosphere! The only improvement would be more space along Oatlands Drive as it was quite tight at times, especially when dodging lamp posts and signs. A road closure along there would make all the difference.
My first ten k<br />Loved it! It was very well organised, smooth, good atmosphere, good route, I would do another event
Great race, well organised, nice route.. except for the long stretch on the pavement next to traffic without shade. Good atmosphere.. friendly.
Fantastic event! Really well organised and route was lovely. Will highly recommend it and def sign up for 2020 again.
Had an absolute blast on the 10k race today! Still buzzing from the welcoming atmosphere that everyone creates! I will definitely sleep well tonight!
Start was a bit shambolic. Pens needed for runners of different speeds. PA system needed for announcements. But a nice course, encouraging Marshal's and a nice medal. Certainly worth doing again
Very well organised and enjoyable. Well done all! It was enjoyable and not too hot. Loved the medal thank you!
Well organised , lovely course and medal .<br />Great marshalls. Thoroughly enjoyed it despite the heat .
second year row I've done this race. course both times good and enjoyable always seems disorganized abit with starting moving this year but not really explained. need better mics.
I ran this event last year enjoyed the route,this year route was different but still enjoyed it,love a 10k.
This was my first time running the Weybridge 10km. I thought the atmosphere was great. The warm up was very difficult in the lane and I was quite far back so couldn't hear anything. And the lane being narrow made it difficult to get going initially. It was a well organised event, my only criticism would be that there was no water available at the finish when I got there (think it may have been restocked but not sure) and there were no bananas left. Think this needs to be looked at next year so we all get a fair chance of grabbing something
A really well organised well informed event nice medal I will be back next year <br />Well done weybridge a big pat on the back

Did the 10K in 2019Really easy to find, get ready and run it! Course was flat and speedy. Fun time had and would do it again 😁
I liked the course but the 2 hilly k's just after 5k and just before 10k were a total killer. One of the km stones was positioned around 0.7km so the next k was infinite. I know most people have smart watches but for some not using a timer it could be a tough finish thinking they are further ahead. <br />The race village was well set up and the atmosphere absolutely motivational! Well positioned water stations too. The only improvement I could recommend is that lining up to the start should be more organised, there were no visible pacer balloons so it was very hard to guess your starting position. I stood way too far from the start line and spent most of my first k overtaking everyone.
Very well organised and fabulous support from the public and Marshalls alike, great to have closed roads as well as some lovely scenery to run through
Wasn't clear where the start was and people missed the start! Course is hilly not flat, not enough water
Only complaint Sadly not enough bananas for all runners .. maybe due to other runners taking too many
Great course and great atmosphere but organization left a lot to be desired. The “start” hoop ie the otherwise of the finish was no where near the start. We didn’t want to do the warm up but found ourselves at the back of the field - nightmare - and we didn’t get the time we should have as a result - not happy 😢
Race was overall well organised and well organised. There were pacers but these needed to have a flag to help know where they were. Slightly confusing as place that says start wasn't start on the day.
Great atmosphere throughout the race with spectators encouraging us all along the route. Medal looks great. One negative is the open road section where the pavement got quite crowded and it was tricky to overtake. The closed section was brilliant.
What an amazing atmosphere. If this was your first time running a 10k you are in for a treat. The location and course was brilliant. You will find someone to run with or against in this race and love it!
Part of Chertsey runners who all had a Great time! Good to have closed roads and not have to worry about traffic.

Did the 10K in 2019The weybridge 10K was my first ever 10K, I am not the fastest runner, so I was a bit nervous. The course was great, challenging, but not too difficult. The atmosphere was fab. </p><p>Not once did I feel out of place, or “too slow” which I was worried about. </p><p>Can’t wait for the next one! 🏃🏻♀️
Great race and good atmosphere! The start was a little frustrating - waves would be good for next year. A few hills in there, but overall a fab event and would highly recommend it!
Very well organised race - lovely to run a local one. Nice local turnout from people and water stations good. :) Be back next year.
Fantastic location and well thought out course. <br />Thoroughly enjoyed running it, albeit a tad warm. Will definitely be back next year for a PB.
Another great race - fab organisation and Marshall support on the course <br />Even the local shop keeper came out with extra bottles of water ! Great local run with local support ♥️
Good course but I think the start could have been more organised and clearly marked - I didn't see the starting mat so started my watch too late. Friendly atmosphere and quite scenic. Parking in Walton is easy too.
Really good time! People are nice and friendly always there to help 😁 good course some hills. 😁🏃🏻♀️🏅
Start needs to be more organised with more sound system speakers, but wasn’t to bad.<br />Finish needs more marshals ushering people through as very congested but overall great event
I drive an hour for this event & wasn’t disappointed, great event & very well run. Will be back again.<br />Thanks to all involved 👏🏻
Good event. The only issue was the start line wasn’t clearly marked. My group thought it was further back at the finish line. We had a panic and ran to the start so ended up held up by the congestion on the narrow lane
The only thing I think that needs to be improved is the pacers. They need to flags so they are visible and the one I was following was very erratic and eventually stopped at about 8k!
The warm up was quite a crowded affair and so was the start and after a couple of K things settled down .</p><p>Advice for others it may take longer to leave Walton than run the 10K it self 😎
Great course and has a lovely community spirit. Shame pacers are hard to spot and follow- no flags or anything to clearly see them. Getting to start line is a little tricky so perhaps more pedestrian signs to clearly mark out the way to the start would help.

First official 10km Running Event & absolutely loved both the experience & the challenge! This Event is so well organised, the continual support & encouragement along the route was amazing & very welcomed!<br />Can't wait for the next one!
The attitude of the organisers was fantastic, and really made the run more enjoyable as they gave praise to all.
AAT always organise beautiful sustainable events. This is no exception; brilliant clear signage, jolly & thoughtful marshalling and excellent information before and during the event. I always really enjoy AAT events.
This events is great and hard work in 21 degrees.well managed.also great meeting the team from let's do this.
One point would be time markers at the start so people could start at their prospective time so as to ease congestion. Just a minor point other than that it was a well organised enjoyable race many thanks
It was very well organised! I Really enjoyed it. Thanks to all the people, organisers, supporters, medical assistance and everybody else who make it happen!
Overall a good course with some ups and downs to enjoy. This event was well supported at key stages.
Really enjoyed this race! Great atmosphere at the Start/Finish area, super supportive volunteers and a really nice medal! The short pavement section was a little congested with so many runners, but otherwise a fantastic (mostly) flat course with a really pretty stint along the river too. Highly recommend!
Good fun - sunny weather helped! DJ got you going. The start was a bit of a mess - should have had better pens at front for the real quickies - eg sub 40 - then sub 45, sub 50 etc. Too many sub 45s getting in the way!
Fabulous run, well organised and supported by the local community, can’t wait to do it again next year!
The course was fantastic, fairly flat with a bit of hill at the end that makes for a nice downhill run to the finish. Finish line atmosphere was amazing - the DJ in particular deserves a shoutout here.
Amazing experience and all the volunteers were amazing. <br />Only advice is don't rely on the Pacemakers as they didn't run to the pace timings and were very hard to spot.
Second time running this race and it was even better this year. The course was great (if not a bit hilly!). Atmosphere was electric, everyone was so supportive. The only thing I missed this year was starting off in timing groups but it didn’t dampen anything. Great event. Thank you

Did the 10K in 2019Road section was uphill and pavement too narrow as people were stopping or running slower so hard to get past and keep a consistent pace. <br />Needed more people at the water and medal station at the end - caused a backlog to the finish line.<br />Other than that - great location, lots of toilets and easy parking at the shopping centre etc! <br />
Great course and local support. I'll definitely be back. Thank you AAT events. Well done on a great race!

Did the 10K in 2019What a race! <br />It’s suitable for all level of runner, a bit undulating in places, but really friendly, well organise and well supported by the local community. Overall an excellent experience.
Great event! Course was the best of the 3 years that i have run it. Fantastic organisation as always
The Pacers were hard to see and didn't know where they were at the start. The Marshall's and volunteers were fabulous and encouraging, thank you for giving up you time. Great weather although a little sticky, but obviously out of your control. Thank you I enjoyed the run, I travelled from 40 miles away and it was well worth it.
It was quite hot so a few more water stations would have been great. Otherwise better route than when I did it in 2017
As a South African runner who moved to the UK this was my first road race in the UK. Well organised, course was good and definitely be back next year, this time having actually done some proper training!
First 10K, great way to start- really friendly atmosphere - great organisation. Thank you - now I need to keep it up, see you next year.

Did the 10K in 2019What an amazing race! Fantastic atmosphere, super encouraging Marshall’s, brilliantly organised. Highly recommend. Look forward to the next one.
It was fab and thought the atmosphere was fantastic. Better than the half marathon I did in same location last October. Only thing I felt was frustrating was the section which had to be run on the path. Otherwise enjoyed it.
Great course, well organised <br />Only criticism would be to give the pacers flags so we can see them. Apart from that, all brilliant
Very good atmosphere. There were people from all ages. Plenty of water at the pit stops. Overall it was a very good day.

So much fun, hard work, could’ve done with a bit more water stations, but glad I did it. Always an excellent crowd puller and it’s great having people cheer runners on!
It was a shame not to run along the actual river bank at any point, but generally the route felt safe, pleasant and well organised. They ran out of water at the finish for a while when we crossed the line. The marshalls were all very encouraging and the medal is a nice one! Will definitely be back next year xx
Absolutely loved the race today (after I had crossed the line)! The atmosphere was awesome and the support around the course was great. I will definitely be back next year to beat those hills again.
Really well organised and a good route. I’d definitely do this again. Minor criticism is the water in single use plastic cups. Any chance you could use paper cups in future?
Great morning well organised. Will definitely be back next year. Save a little in the tank for the last mile.
It was a warm day but the route and atmosphere was really good. I also thought that the pre-event updates were very clear and gave all the information I could possibly have needed. Excellent organisation - thank you
This was my first Weybridge 10k run. There was a superb atmosphere not only by the runners, organisers but also the amount of support around the route from locals. Great to have 2 water stations. Overall the route was challenging in parts but a pleasure to run.
Great fun to run through the local area. Organisation was good, although another water stop would have been better. Excellent medal!
First ever race and loved it ..as a beginner found some inclines tough . Marshalls were everywhere which was good to see..thanks for volunteering and organising..
Well organised, well marshalled race. Felt like a much smaller race than it was which made for a great morning. Great work keep up the good work.
