Lovely run through the countryside - see you again in 2026

I appreciate it is a complex event to organise but would be good to stick to the timings wherever possible

Organiser comment:

Many thanks for your feedback. Unforeseen timing issues on the one mile race had a knock-on effect that delayed the 5k and 10k races. We have reviewed this as a team and put measures in place to avoid this in future events. For example, we have adjusted the 5k route so that the 5k and 10k races can start together and help the schedule run more smoothly. We genuinely value feedback from runners because your comments help us learn and improve the event and we appreciate you taking the time to share them.

A well organised and very enjoyable village event with a scenic and challenging course on mixed terrain.

Great atmosphere, beautiful course, great Marshals and well organised. Only improvement would be to have somebody looking after the bag drop tent.

Great local run and memorial to a son of the village

An extra marshall and or signage over the right turn footbridge would be helpful

Great run through the countryside

Couldn’t really hear the PA system. Maybe don’t start putting cones away whilst back runners are still coming through. Do it before, after tail runner has gone past the first time. Great team. Really enjoyed the event.

Many thanks for your comments. We will have a new PA system in place for the 2026 race. We are reviewing all marshal roles for the race and we will change the instructions for close down. Thanks again, we genuinely value feedback from runners and we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

Lovely local race

Enjoyed this as a first timer to the event, congested walk to the start so started much further back than I would have liked, also would have liked an earlier start time (but this is just because I prefer to run earlier)and it was a slightly delayed start.
Great cakes at the end!.

Don't do a warm up and then chat for 15 minutes

It was an off road event. Trail shoes needed. I was on road shoes!
