Very well organised event. Collection of the number the day before made the race day less stressful
Daren Chambers
A great race, lovely new route on closed roads and also some off-road which made it more interesting
I think that considering the venue and route were changed for this year the organisers did an excellent job, congratulations.
The only minor issue was the bathroom facilities and long queues.
Thank you for an excellent race.
Ian Matthews
Enjoyed a PB on this, my third 10 mile
Where are the promised photos?
Rafael Pomadere
Great event, great organisation by friendly people!
Loved the free massage at the end.
There were a lot of paper cups thrown into the wilderness. It would be great to educate runners to be more mindful of the environment and perhaps provide large bins where cups can be disposed of easily.
Russell Evans
Super challenging course with a nice variety of undulations. Amazing to see everyone climbing up the Crab and Winkle Hills. Congratulations on an excellent event.
Steve Burnett
Great event - but sort out the traffic jams and toilets
Lovely event in great countryside, well-marshalled and friendly.
But the start was stressful - very slow traffic jams through the university campus delayed arrival and not enough toilets. A marshal in the main building told us there were more toilets in another building but he didn't know where it was. And there should have been portaloos as the queues inside were really bad.
Thank you for your comments. It was our first year with a new course and race HQ. We were pleased with the race but will introduce changes next year to improve both the toilets and the car parking.
Charles Jenkins
Well organised scenic race.
Car parking marshalling could have been a bit more controlled within the car parks themselves - e.g. marshal cars to fill up spaces from the very botton to the top (or vice versa). Otherwise parking became a little bit disorganised within the car park itself.
Thank you for your comments. We agree that there were problems with parking and will be taking steps to improve this for next year's race.
Julie Thatcher
Thoroughly enjoyed this new route and would definitely do it again!
Fred LANE
New route worth the hills
Please consider opening more toilets at the start.
Keep this route, such fun.
Thank you to all the volunteers and see you next year.
Thank you for your comments. We will be improving the toilet situation for next year's race.
Michelle Wood
One to push yourself
Well marshalled and organised
Darren Le Gallais
Great event, nightmare to get there!!
I arranged my itinerary so that I would have plenty of time to register, meet members of my running club and then get going, all in a relaxed timeframe.... However, due to the congestion getting to the University car park I ended up abandoning my partner, running to registration and then heading back to find my partner and collecting my bits and bobs ready to start!! Besides that the whole day was brilliant and I got a PB :-)
Thank you for your comments. We agree that the traffic congestion and parking was not up to the standard it should have been and will be making improvements to this for next year's race.
Karla Larnder
Nice route .
Enjoyed it maybe could do with more toilets .
Thank you for your comments. We will be arranging more toilets for next year's race.
Joseph Taylor
Hilly but good fun
Car parking was a bit of an issue. Maybe 1 more water station would be good. Otherwise a fantastic event, well organised, good course, great atmosphere. Will be back next year!
Thank you for your comments, we will be taking steps to improve the parking for next years race.
Mark Cornell
Undulating 10 mile race
I really enjoyed the new route as it was challenging and a good test. The venue change is much better for accessibility and parking than the previous venue in Spring Lane. I will definitely do this race again next year.
Stuart Davies
Excellent event, well organised and potentially fast course for anyone looking to PB.
Geoff Turner
A great event but some issues to be sorted out
Parking issues
Male toilets were in insufficient numbers
The amount of offroad was a surprise
Thank you for your comments. We agree that we need to improve the parking and also the situation regarding toilets. Steps will be taken to resolve both of these issues for next year's race. I agree that there are some non-tarmacked sections, but most of these were classified as unsealed roads and the others as hard paths by UK Athletics. We hope this not spoil your enjoyment of the race.
Jon Wood
Great new course - liked the start/finish more than old one.
Sonia White
Hardest run I've done, but brilliant.
It really tests your fitness.
Organisation was brilliant.
Support was brilliant all the way round
Thank you.
Nicola Mclaren
Loved it
Loved the new route, very scenic and great atmosphere.
Could maybe do with extra toilets for ladies at the start as queues were long.
Thank you for your comments. We will be improving the toilets for next years race.
