New venue - good parking. spacious & well signed (shame some loos were out of action but not your fault)!
Liked the new course.
Lots of volunteers/marshalls who were all helpful, friendly & encouraging

Thank you for your comments. We will be increasing the toilet facilities for 2027 to help reduce queues

Toilets & parking
You need outside toilets for the event, at least 20, alongside the inside toilets.
The parking needs to be expanded so you can roll in at 8am & park, not queue for 30 mins plus in the roads leading up to the race. The stress of that is not expected & not required. Other than that, explain that the race is road & trail, which you may have done but I didn’t see. But a very organised race & I know how hard these things are to create.
George, Chair of TWH
Thank you for your comments. The toilets will be upgraded for 2027 with a bank of portaloos plus better signage and extra blocks open. Parking problems were mainly caused by a barrier in the main car park that kept coming down between each car rather than staying up as had been requested. There will also be additional car parks open for 2027. The course is classified as a road race as over 90% is on tarmac roads or unsealed roads. We will point out the varying surfaces in next years brief.

Good run with testing hills but all in all a good run for all I think. Thank you.
Johann Taylor
Well organised & the route was very pretty but very hilly
Was great being able to pick up bib numbers the day before. Much better organised than previous years & the new hall set up was great. The lack of toilets was terrible though. 20 minutes queue for the ladies toilets, no toilets at the start line, you could have had a few port a loos as the q was so bad (limited access and toilets locked) it was quite stressful not being able to go to the loo when needed as time was limited to start time
We apologise for the toilets. Some of the signage was lost on the morning of the race. We will have extra signs and also a bank of portaloos for 2027. The course is undulating but we appreciate that this will not suit all runners.

Undulating course with closed roads.trail section. Parking and toilet queues bad. .
We will e upgrading toilets with a bank of portaloos for 2027. Parking will also be upgraded.
Rachel King
Fantastic race! Well organised.
Marshall and organisers friendly and supportive. Venue in the university was perfect with great facilities. Great course, but hills quite challenging at times. I would definitely do this race again. I especially liked the free massage at the end.

Hills!
Organisation was excellent. Queues for the toilet were mad but this always happens! I found the route a challenge, but marshals were great with motivational claps and cheers.

Excellent 10 mile event
First time at the new HQ and course, and it's a winner. Very well martialled, excellent day of registration.
Ranjith Kanagasundaram
Great route, well organised.
Poor toilet facilities at the start. Long queues for just one male toilet near the bag drop area. Apart from that, loved it!
Thank you for your comments. We will be upgrading the toilet facilities for 2027

Excellent 10 mile event
First time at the new HQ and course, and it's a winner. Very well martialled, excellent day of registration.
A tough but rewarding course with a bit of everything.
Thank you for organising it. Being able to collect the numbers the day before was really helpful. The campus was deserted on race day. I think perhaps a bit more thought about parking is required as there were several parking areas empty but were not designated car parks. If there is a way of getting rid of the little out and back coned section near the end that would be great too! Thanks.
Thank you for your comments. Parking will be improved for 2027. Also the out and back bit will be changed.
