The stewards were very encouraging and supportive., they kept me going through the mud!

It would have been helpful to have been advised that you needed 20p for the lockers.

I enjoyed this event despite the weather on the day!

The organisers did a great job of changing the route at short notice when it began to snow at 8am on race day. Good atmosphere and an enjoyable race in spite of everything that was thrown at the organisers by the weather.

Fantastic to go ahead considering the weather!

Thank you for continuing even though the route had to change last minute. Great atmosphere and lots of dedicated runners!

The snow was a complete game changer

Event organisers tried hard in difficult weather. The resulting route was very difficult. I’m sure in better weather it would have been more enjoyable.

A gorgeous day for a run. Five times the same round was a bit boring. But it was very enojoyable nevertheless

Marshals were positive and encouraging but thats about it im afraid

No email with race day information sent out, had to find everything on facebook and using google.
Poor marshalling on first lap, with runners crossing over paths on the U turn, a simple bit of tape or cones down the middle would have forced runners to stick to one side.
Giving out t-shirts from 2016 when it's 2017 :)

The only positive was that the marshals were getting into it, which is always nice to see.

Not enough ladies toilets. No final race instructions sent out. No snack/banana at the end and T shirt promotional and poor quality

Marshals and organisers were really good and friendly. Shame the council stopped use of the track so organisers did their best. I enjoyed it as a training run but it did not have any pb potential. No chip timing.
