Many thanks for your comments Jonny. We will review everything, including toilets, for next year's race

Paul Miller

small but smart

The only criticism is there was no podium photo for 1st 2nd and 3rd. Same because I may never get 2nd in an event again. Well never say never

Thanks for your review Paul. We're sorry about the podium photos and we will review that for next year.

John Crossman

Really nice event - big enough to feel like an 'event' but not too big to be overwhelming. Well done folks!

Lovely scenic mixed terrain trail run.

Only negative is that I wasn’t directed by the marshal to turn round on the 5k course so ended up doing an extra 450m and missed out on a top 10 place and 1st in my age group.

What a lovely 10k

Such a nice race to come by to. Really friendly, great marshalls, lovely host venue. Nice undulating route and I even managed a 'sprint' finish at the end! Plus the replica medal is fabulous. Thanks for organising a fantastic event.

A Great Event

This was my 2nd AS 10k and with a 1s PB.......
This event is just the right number, anymore and it may lose the Village feel.
A brilliant course and well worked out.
Well Done to those involved.

Average event based on the hype

I thought it would be more professionally run based on the hype they give about this apparent famous old runner but was quite disappointed that this was really not that organised. Yes the race ran and I got my medal but it just seemed a little cheap and somehow not living up to the way it was advertised.

Organiser comment:

We are sorry that you didn't like our race. Our team of volunteers put a lot of work into the event and the race was also timed and partly managed by professional running race companies. We have had many very, very positive comments but we are sorry that things did not live up to your expectations.

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

Reviewed using Eventrac, Sep 2025
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.
