Good set up but needs more facilities

Enjoyed the event over all and the sign-in organisation was great!
The speaker at the start line couldn’t be heard by many and needed a megaphone. Rules of staying to the left if you are slower should have been communicated (unless this was and we couldn’t hear it) Going through the park was difficult because slower people were running next to each other and didn’t allow for easy overtaking.
Porter-loos should have been provided, people had to queue for a very long time at colt to go to the toilet and then wee in the bushes if they needed it closer to the start line. Thanks

Lovely course

Medals should be included as standard in a fee. Getting faster runners to the front of the start and encouraging slower runners to not bunch at the front would be helpful.

Very Good Local Race

Good value overall. I enjoyed the race overall. I prefer closed roads but I know it's not always possible. A participant fell in front of me at the second to last turn to the finish. I did the same- so that might need looking into. Good value overall, good setting and great scenery. This would be a good run for most people, at all levels.

A great run really enjoyed it!

I struggled with the drink station being on that steep zig zag bend at the halfway mark and being in cups, but that’s a minor quibble really. Enjoyed the route.
I have to say I was quite underwhelmed by the medal it doesn’t compare to some others I’ve had.
Nice touch to offer leg massages at the end of the course!!
Overall a thoroughly enjoyable morning; I have already entered next year’s race.
Huge thanks to everyone for organising and to all the volunteers.

Over priced

I paid £31.50 for this event which I think is so expensive. May not do again for price. Don’t even get a shirt or medal
A bottle of water !

Love the course.

Number issue would have been smoother if the ankle tags had have been positioned after number issue, not the table before as runners lined up to move clockwise.
It would have prevented runners moving ing back across the queue to get tags.

Fast, flatish, and picturesque for the first’ half.

Only negative - as an admittedly shameless collector of medals, this one left a fair bit to be desired.

Picturesque route, especially the first half along the tow path, couple of low gradient hills in the second half and a very short steep bit but basically PB material

Nice run, good route. Friendly people

Nice run and lovely route, but we couldn’t hear anything being said at the beginning, and then to be told at the finish we don’t get a medal was really disappointing.

Friendly well organised local 10k

The water station being on a tight bend on steep hill was a massive no from me. There was no way I’d have been able to grab water and drink it whilst inhaling heavily before well onto the top road by which time I would surely have spilt from the cup.

Also - I think it might work better in reverse.

Outstanding

All round great run

One complaint was how the website read. It was a bit misleading about medal/t-shirt situation. It read as you got a medal and could pay extra for a t-shirt, not one or the other.
