Great Local Race
I really enjoyed this race. Not as hilly as first thought, which was a bonus. Amazing medal, great food and drink, lots of seating and toilets. Well done Horsham Joggers etc.

Good kids race
My husband was a little bit confused when a Marshall was telling him to be on the other side of the rope when running with our 4 year old. He needed to run with him to make sure he felt confident.
Edwina Chandaman
Brilliant local race
Great organisation and love that it is a trail race.
Pat Radley
A really well organised event.
The trail run was lovely, really enjoyed it.
Robin Bertrand
Great race but very messy start
The 10k race started over 20 minutes late, which was frustrating. The race start was a walk away from the race village and required all runners to walk single file through a short alleyway - this didn't work and needs rethinking.
It was a very friendly race and the organisers were doing their best but it wasn't great! I'll certainly be back next year and I hope the problems are ironed out.
Phil Jones
Lovely, friendly atmosphere and enjoyable route. Well marshalled and supported.
It will be no surprise that I say that the start was a bit of a shambles. The wait, bottleneck walk to the start and restricted start area detracted from an otherwise great venue, lovely atmosphere and great course. The start can be easily rectified with a few changes and I would certainly come back and recommend to others. If this was sorted. Otherwise, well done All.
Colin Higgs
Great fun and lovely scenic route. I’d thoroughly recommend it.
A few Jelly Babies at the water station would be nice, and a mention of Alfred Shrubb
John Campbell
Excellent event, great Marshall’s and a great setting - what more could you want?
Sarah Maclean
Fabulous run - very well organised. We loved it. Thank you for all of your hard work.
Simon Markham
simply a great event
Chris Lee
Alf would be pleased.
My 1st ASM10k and it was fantastic.
I would say that had I known that overtaking would be limited on the course I would have tried to get nearer to the front instead of being at the back, that's my fault and not the fault of the race.
Will I be back next year? Ermmmmm I think so.
Sandra Morgan
Really nice run well supported by friendly marshalls. Not too big - easy to park and leave event.
10k started half an hour late... maybe because of the 5k?
Elisabeth Scott
Superbly organised friendly local trail race -my favourite 10k
Just the right amount of mud and undulations!
Marc Lind

Apsolutley fabulous
Such a lovely event, just sooper seeing all ages competing, supporting and of course the volunteers and the course was spot on,no rain
Lucy Marriott
Great scenic run
I would suggest calling people up to the start based on their estimated finish time, it was a bit of a free for all and resulted in a lot of faster runners trying to get past. All in all though a lovely run with wonderful friendly Marshalls.
Luke Taylor

Simon King

Nothing to add
Lucy Overton
