Friendly staff, very easy to book and manage things online.
It wasn't clear that toilets are in the cafe over the road and not at the exact start/finish line which is more challenging to access quickly, particularly for those running longer distances.
Lots of snacks available, however for those doing longer distances still best to bring your own as marshall station options get more limited as the day goes on.
A lovely medal and snacks await at the end.

I would recommend not just this event but any event hosted by the Grim Up North team , they are very supportive and non judgmental and will support and help you every step of the way on your journey regardless of ability , the medals are always amazing and the cakes make it all worth while

My first race event since 1973! Everyone was approachable and so friendly. Registration was easy, lots of clear information from the Marshalls. The cakes at the finish were very welcome. Thoroughly enjoyed the event and I even set a PB.

My only suggestion is a clearer indication of where the registration/bin pickup point is. I could not find this on the website.

Grim up north runs are the best events to participate in, wether your pushing for a PB or running with friends, or taking part in your first ever race, everyone is welcoming, helpful, encouraging and supportive.
The medal is always superb, the cake & sweets at the end are beaut!
The events are very well organised and run so smoothly & the communication from the organisers is brilliant.

Can’t wait to do another event

We were thankful to be a part of this race as our original marathon had been abruptly cancelled with very short notice. It is very well organised and has a wonderful supportive team. We’re not from the area - everyone including the participants were warm and friendly. Would definitely attend another one of their runs and highly recommend. One small criticism is the medal does not state the achieved distance- but it is a fabulous medal

Signed up for GNR next year without having ran in 20 years, found this and signed up for 5k as a step towards that, great first running medal and event! Got 10k on 13th December to train for now!

Thank you to all the volunteers! Really friendly crowd with lots of encouragement from all runners. Fab cakes and snacks at the end and a wonderful medal !

Really great event. lovely route and fantastic cake!

But for having to ask where to register, a great all round event well managed

It was difficult to find the registration place, maybe some signs on the road would have been helpful but otherwise it was a brilliant event, thank you.

Beautiful route and well organised. The snacks at the end were an added bonus with vegan and allergy friendly options, which are often forgotten about at events!

First Grim race and first marathon in a while and I came in first.
Over the moon loved it

The only reason I marked the atmosphere down is because I was on the 20miler and there were only 3 of us so once the 5kms had turned back I was alone for most of it till the other distances appeared.
