Great event and very well organised
If I was being picky, it would have been nice to have a pint glass gift rather than half a pint. Generally though a great event
Superb, friendly professionally organised event, well done!
Loved this Sunday trip out! Great, flat trails, friendly, superbly organised with lots to keep everyone interested at Siren Brewery. Ellie and her excellent team nailed it with energy and their experience, highly recommended and enjoyable thank you Barnes Fitness!
Great local event + Great Local Beer
Unlikely to PB due to a clog of people for the first 3km, but an extremely enjoyable event nonetheless! 10k Chip timing, photos, medal, beer, glass, donuts and food vendors… PBs can wait for another day!
Great route with great Marshals
Great route, well organised and marshalled! Good set up at tap room , medal and glass and great beer!!!
Amazing! I thought the march 10k was good but this one was so much better! Nicer route, tents for family to wait , easier to get beer and medal after! Lovely event
Great friendly event
Very good run
Well organized 2nd time round
great local event
good course, great weather, nice beer!
A lovely friendly event, great pre race info, jolly marshals and a lovely route.
Great atmosphere both before and after at the brew house and having a glass as a souvenir is such a lovely idea!
Friendly, well organised 10km
Parking was very busy and filling up fast less than an hour to start time. We’d never run this race before and thought the industrial estate recommended parking would have lots of spaces. Not so. Perhaps make it clear spaces fill up fast and a better option would go straight to Sainsbury’s where there was a 3 hr limit. Other than this, we loved the race - flat, fast & well organised. Lovely medal & beer and glass momento were great.
Flat and fast, but a bit disappointed
I’ve recently done another brewery 10k, with different event organisers, and in comparison this one didn’t feel as good.
The route was good - nice and flat, but the kissing gates were annoying. Especially the first one as we had to wait and queue to go through it.
The beer at the end was only a half pint (other race was pint) and there was only a pale ale or low alcohol option, no lager or anything else. Disappointed as I don’t like pale ale! The guy I asked said it caused too many queues last time, but surely that just means add more staff or a second stand…
It was also teased that the medal would be beer themed, but it wasn’t.
Parking was a nightmare, there wasn’t enough spaces and it was ridiculous trying to get out at the end as everyone had just parked wherever they could.
Overall I did enjoy it, but I don’t think it was worth the money compared to the other brewery race I’ve done!
Thanks for your feedback - as always there are things we can tweak and will work on for next time. I'm intrigued where/how you were teased with a beer themed medal???
Brilliant event and loved the varied course.
Kissing gates slowed us down a little which was welcomed haha but volunteers were amazing and organisation was flawless. Beer at the end was fab! Came away feeling very happy!
It was good
Great race on a good route
Great local event
Nice, flat route with good beer
Great location and running course
It would be good to have some extra water available for the finish line. I felt it was very crowded where people were getting their medals and there was no clear indication on where the beer glasses were.
It might be an idea to use the other big parking area opposite.
I don’t think it was very appropriate to have women’s sanity wear in a box on the floor by the tap area! Maybe just a few located in each toilet?
We are working with the owners of the carpark opposite for us to be able to use it for next time - sadly it wasn't possible this time. Good point about the sanitary products, this was the first time we had offered this as a "nice to have" - but appreciate your comments.
Excellent, well organised race.
Much better than last time
Run has improved with the organization and 1 circuit route.
Still a bit crowded at the end and it is a shame Siren can’t afford to give us a pint after running 10k.
