Well organised event with loads of very encouraging and helpful Marshals

Good local event

The race is good and the course challenging.

However the start needs improved. Could you get people to go in from the other end? Too many runners in the wrong place meant it was difficult to navigate the tight first few metres.

Toilet situation… considering it is a school a lot of toilets don’t flush which made it an uncomfortable situation.

Mixed bag

Poor organisation at the beginning, lots of tables and not clear where to go to get your number. Same with the start of the race, everyone left at once and could have been time goals to try and spread this out a bit more. Couldn’t hear a word the person with the megaphone said.

On the actual run the Marshalls were excellent and really important they get a lot of credit.

Cool medal, overall a good track other than that horrible hill x2!

Will a bit of hill training would probably do again.

Been doing it on and off for years. Fun, friendly and hilly!

Great event for those looking for a challenge. Hilly course. Not a PB course but fun and friendly with plenty of cakes at the end!!

Tough, very hilly but great satisfaction when you finish.

Fantastic race to participate in. The Marshalls were very supportive and encouraging throughout which helps to keep you focused. Also the start line was very cramped but otherwise very well organised. Thank you Crowborough Runners for being brilliant hosts!

Great challenge

Great local race. Great marshals.
Lots of club runners but not that inclusive of non club runners who've paid same entry fee!
I stayed for presentation which needs work as rather chaotic! Also pink and blue cups ?? Think we've moved on from that one cup for all runners no need for gender different cups .
Great race overall

Feels like a good test

Couldn't hear the race briefing at the start - use a speaker.
There seemed to be a number of issues at the prizegiving - which felt abit awkward.
But Thanks for a great race.

Thank you Crowborough Runners

As always a really well organised event to round off the SGP year, including the enthusiastic marshal at the 8K sign. One review mentioned the announcements before the race being difficult to hear- I wasn't aware of any at all!

Well organised, friendly race!

The marshals and supporters were fantastic! Very challenging 10K having to face the killer hill twice but an amazing sense of achievement. Will definitely run this again.

Hillsss

Would be nicer if the toilets were inside the building like the men’s.

Too tough to be fun

Nobody could hear the starter talking - easy to sort out!
The results presentation was chaotic and drowned out by people speaking.
Parking well organized

Very friendly event, great supportive marshalls.

Superb tea and homemade cakes available afterwards. This is my fourth, or fifth i can't remember, and a firm favourite of mine.

Great marshals. Well organised. And a fab challenging course. We will be back in 2024.

The free coffee was a nice touch. Plus the wide selection of cakes on offer.
