Clearer / better tannoy would have been helpful so that I could hear why the 10k was delayed. Beyond the organisers control but better weather would have made me more likely to sample the bar or cake stalls!

Definitely will be back again sometime soon. Really slick entry process and appreciated all the organisation and the yummy catering.

An update on the entry page with Gpx and the briefest of info on the course to include something like ‘follows good quality trails’ would have put my mind at rest before the race. Not knowing if it was going to be a mud bath, loops (yuk) and how hilly it might be are just little things that can put people off - especially if they are not experienced trail runners or beginners

A really enjoyable event with a distance for everyone. Lovely course and well marshalled.
Some logistical issues possibly to iron out for next year perhaps, only little bits that didnt detract from the event.
Overall a great race, thanks.

Pity the 5k was over distance by at least 300m

My first 10k for this race.
Travelled from to Bexhill-on-Sea to Haywards Heath to come with my daughter.
Lovely atmosphere, lovely people, great course and very well organised.
Would do it again and I'll remember to wear trail trainers next time

Something to think about improving:
The turn-around point for the 10k was very congested. There were runners slowing for the turn-around in the same space as the leaders running through to the finish. Add some locals walking their dogs through the same point at the same time and there’s the potential for accidents. We witnessed some near misses here. Perhaps there’s a way to improve things here by using some of the field that was set up for car parking? Or maybe ending the final lap slightly differently.

Question on distance though, was the 5km actually 5km, my Garmin recorded 5.36km. Are times aggregated?

Thank you for a fun day.

Suggestion : use the podium for 1st , 2nd , 3rd female & male in both the 5km and 10km & specific certificates for 1st , 2nd , 3rd ( in female & male ) in in 5km and 10km

I really enjoyed this race. Not as hilly as first thought, which was a bonus. Amazing medal, great food and drink, lots of seating and toilets. Well done Horsham Joggers etc.

My husband was a little bit confused when a Marshall was telling him to be on the other side of the rope when running with our 4 year old. He needed to run with him to make sure he felt confident.

Great organisation and love that it is a trail race.

The trail run was lovely, really enjoyed it.

The 10k race started over 20 minutes late, which was frustrating. The race start was a walk away from the race village and required all runners to walk single file through a short alleyway - this didn't work and needs rethinking.
It was a very friendly race and the organisers were doing their best but it wasn't great! I'll certainly be back next year and I hope the problems are ironed out.

It will be no surprise that I say that the start was a bit of a shambles. The wait, bottleneck walk to the start and restricted start area detracted from an otherwise great venue, lovely atmosphere and great course. The start can be easily rectified with a few changes and I would certainly come back and recommend to others. If this was sorted. Otherwise, well done All.
