Wonderful route down the Thames
This is a great event. Despite dodging pedestrians, dogs and cyclists on the Thames Path, its a beautiful route with wonderful scenery. The route makes you run back the way you’ve came, which sounds bad, but is fine and doesn’t feel boring at all. It was only at the half way point where you turn straight back things got a little confusing. Then running past the finish line towards the end is both joyous and a killer! But I loved it. Simple race done well. Would definitely consider returning for more events by the same organiser.
My favourite and most friendly race's on my running calander
Great half marathon run along the Thames towpath
Unless you are at the front at the start, the towpath is congested to begin with - we stopped a walked a couple of times which affected my split for the first 2km's. Other than that, good run. thanks
Fantastic race. Flat. Great PB
Amazing 1st marathon
Lovely run
I couldn’t at all hear the face briefing. It didn’t matter as the race instructions in the emails said it all
Good
recasens
Flat, pretty trail run.
Aid stations well looked after by local army cadets. Last two mile double back a bit cruel. Good day out.
Great race
Very well organized
Relatively low key but well-organised. Friendly marshalls at all aid stations
I know most people run with GPS watches these days, but maybe consider putting up one or two distance markers (10k/30k), for me they always make for a welcome progress marker to keep you going.
Full
Fun
Sorely Lacking
No mile markers - I realise there were two events but there are ways to differentiate between the two in signs. Not enough water stations. Toilet paper ran out in the portaloos. The FAQ mentions showers but not that they are communal. Therefore, given all that, it was not value for money and not a race that I would do again.
Magic
Loved it. My first marathon. Travelled from Cornwall ....well worth it. Thanks to all the organisers and helpers
Good event
For the half marathon the turning point at Kingston 20km should be at the beginning of the race Not the end. It’s a bit downbeat running past the finish at the end.
What a lovely and friendly Thames-side run!
Thanks for all the excellent organization.
Excellent except... Where are the results??
Brilliant event again David. One question... No full set of results on hermes or eventrac Web pages and can't see past results which us a bit of a confusing as 100 marathon need evidence for those of us hopefully heading towards that goal?
Great for beginners, flat and fast for the competitors and a real pleasure for all. Many thanks.
Great event that I run most years
