I see some of my potential criticisms have already been mentioned. Great route, great medal, good venue with plenty of food and drink supplied post run. I felt a lack of fanfare when I finished my half, but I fully appreciate the Clapham Junction nature of having 5 concurrent events starting, passing and finishing on the same mat, can't be easy to follow. That's my only minor criticism because I love the Grimmers and the flexibility of these races.

Pros- Location was lovely, great if you don’t want to take part in a big high profile event, ability to get together with friends after for drinks/snacks. Cons- Route Signs not great, turning points not officially marked, no medical staff on route and at times you can be all alone.No one greeted me with my medal I had to go looking for it and no distance lanyards for the medals, everyone gets the same.
My friends 10k results have not been published which is terrible.
Summary -I would run again for the locations but lots that can be improved based on the cost.

Very welcoming run, good facilities at start and finish. Turn around point poorly manned and not enough guidance for longer distance runners causing issues. No 10k times results posted, all other distances posted. Runners and spectators stood in groups on start / finish line making thing difficult. Double parking in car park so had to wait 30 minutes to get out after. Nice run, just needs a little more organisation

Lovely route
Very well organised
Fab facility
Great medal

If anything to comment on I was unsure where the turnround point was to return to the start.

A lovely scenic route along the Leeds to Liverpool canal

Great event, but I ran too far because I wasn’t sure where the canal we were supposed to finish, maybe just a couple more coloured markers, but then that might confuse people as well. Overall awesome thank you

Very friendly run

Really well organised and lovely route!

Pretty sure the 10 mile was just over… could’ve saved a bit of a hill :)

Can’t believe our beautiful looking canals, please Liverpool Canal keeps surprising me

The north may be grim but the people are the loveliest! Thank you for a fab event!!

It was a great race and the canal route was gorgeous. The food and drink afterwards was superb and it was good to chat with everyone and eat the snacks.

It would have been a bit nicer if more people cheered the runners as they ended

Beautiful 5k route along the canal tow path, shame that we were sent in the wrong direction, ended up running an extra few k’s which I loved anyway, with that known no chance of a PB!

All excellent except being sent wrong way so no turning point marshal, so did 5.72k and will have messed result up.
Shame because as I said everything else was excellent
