Fantastic for a first time event.

The route may have been short I notice lots of Strava recordings from the event being just below 10k

Start and finish was not a large enough area to accomodate the volume of participants. I feel the perticually at the finish it was there was not enoug space to collect medals, post race water and post race beer, the queues were causing a back up in the finish gate.

Water station needs to be larger as que created due to lack of prefilled cups, possible an additional marshal on hand to help fill cups. - Unfortunate caused me a delay in my run while waiting for water.

Fantastic atmosphere, lovely marshalls, good course with some flat some hills and a good mixture of terrain.

Water station needs better management, I skipped it due to the queue.

Start and finish location needs adjusting.

The route was possibly a touch short? Everyone seems to have come up just below 10k, however I appreciate there was buildings and tree cover so that may be the reasons.

However, very well marshalled, lovely route, really enjoyable event

Definitely would do this event again

Enjoyable event and great to have the beer and glass at the end. However had to queue for this for just over half an hour in a very disorganised snaking line while many just jumped it slowing down the limited servers and official queue. Not their fault, just no organisation. Also could do with a sign to the start from the top car park as quite a few of us arriving early started by following big arrows that turned out to be for the route markers. I’m sure that next year these issues will be ironed out and once that’s fixed this should become an excellent annual run.

Registration was super easy and quick and the set up at the end was lovely, the option of food, sweet treat and a pint went down a treat!

Not quite 10k unfortunately

The start / finish area was very congested.

To make it better:
water station needed to have more people helping or bigger table to have more cups of water ready to go (had to queue to get water)
Beers need to pre poured so that the queue moves quicker or cans handed out.

2 laps wasn’t fun, there are plenty of ways to extend that run to do one lap albeit appreciate there are roads to possibly cross.

The start/finish line should not have been squashed in the corner. The chaos at the end waiting to get the free beer needed to be managed better we waited 40 mins at least.

Saying that, it was the first one so I’m
Sure improvements will come next year. The Marshalls were fabulous, the medal was great (glad I got one) and it was a lovely day for it, will sign up next year!

a great race. Hopefully it will be a regular event.

I had to wait 2 minutes for water at the 5km mark because there weren't enough people/jugs.

It also took 20 minutes to get a drink after the run. Given the numbers, there should have been more people serving drinks during/after the event.

Having a race that goes through 4 gates (creating a bottleneck) is not a great idea.

Well organised, nice amount of toilets at the start. Great marshals along the route. Sunshine and beer! Stunning

Pros: Beer
Cons: Queue for beer, no hand san at men's urinals, not enough water at finish.
