Lovely course, lovely people, well organised
Matt Burt
Great route. Nicely challenging in places!
Anna Thompson
Great event, well organised and would recommend
Jonny Moles
Great trail run
Few more toilets, would of sped up runners getting to the start
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!
Christopher Lee
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.
Many thanks for your review Chris. We will review marshalling and course signage for the race next year.
Brett Rouse
Varied and interesting route. Great atmosphere, friendly and well organised. Thanks for a great run.
Thomas Lovelace
Fantastic event open to all abilities
Just a great fun event, exceptionally friendly volunteers and a beautiful run
Excellent, interesting route. A real runners' event, organised by real runners.
Kelly O'Haire
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.
Chris Lee
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.
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.
Frankie Pickles
really good day thank you so much
Alan Greenwood
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
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.
