Congratulations on the 2026 race! The route is vastly improved from last year, much more scenic and quiet.

The planning at the start was impeccable, no queues to pick up numbers and the facilities much bigger. There were a lot of toilets. If anything could have been improved it's just to add a few porta-potties outside to relieve the stress on the toilets 10 minutes before the start. But that's minoscule

I will definitely be back next year. Thanks a lot!

New course tough but enjoyable.
Very few toilets let down the event, no excuse for inadequate toilets in an event planned well in advance at more than £30 a head.
Prize giving too late, most people gone, grand prix prizes should have been second not first and guy presenting these no one could hear.

I absolutely loved this course, although I was sceptical about departing from the old tried and tested course, it was better in every way. Can’t wait for next year.

Really well organised and as always the marshals were great. Nice run in the beautiful countryside.
Thanks everyone involved.

Need porta loos -too many queues

Need portaloos at the start - there were not enough toilets through the buildings.
More stewards to help with parking at the start too

The toilet situation let things down as they are a very important aspect of a race for runners.

I think there should have been some portaloo's as the queues for the toilets were particularly bad at this race.
In my opinion, people are not fussed about a medal. You may want to consider an option to buy / order a medal like the tee shirt.
Have a banana / apple at the end of the race.

great race no traffic, lots of marshals'.
well done everybody!!

Can't wait for next year!

Parking at the event was great. More toilets needed to avoid the queues before the race. Would strongly recommend the event which was overall a great race.

Try and have a few more women’s toilets . But about from that great . Although I understand it’s a change of venue so it’s a live and learn situation
But still rate 5 stars

Having run this event several times at its previous location this new route was a vast improvement. The race headquarters were good and able to cope with the large number of participants. Registration was efficient and quick,bag drop easy and various locations of toilet facilities to use.
A nice traffic free route which was well marshalled

Not even close to enough female toilets at the start

Having been a regular runner on the old route, this new one presents a similar challenge on closed roads and undulations on the second half. It's always a great way to start the year, and I'll be booking again in 27. One tip though don't try to do a recce as we did, the roads on the way out are very busy and there are no paths.
