An Essex Classic. Always a privilege to get a place. First class support and organisation

Excellent race, well organised, friendly.

More chairs in the hall and/or outside would be good. We arrived early so ended up standing up for over an hour before going to the start.

Brilliant idea to mix with Remembrance Day and love this well organised race. Thank you

Snack tent worked very well with fast moving line and well organised in terms of supplies (sandwiches)

Really enjoyed the race and was able to pay my respects with the 2 minute silence I love my poppy medal the best medal by far from all my races this year. See you next year

2 points I think need addressing. Start and finish regarding traffic. I think the road should be closed in both these areas. We started running then a car came towards us. Then at the finish, a car was blocking me and there were people on the path so had to stop to get round. The rest of the course was great

Just one minor criticism - The finish line completely crossed the main access way to the school from the road and alternative routes were not as clearly marked as they could have been. As a runner, I was worried about crossing the line after the race while I was still wearing my chip and was worried about that affecting my time. I checked with the timer and confirmed it didn't but would have been more beneficial to know the alternative routes in/out of the school grounds.

Cars on the road toward the finish spoils the end of the run and tough to Marshall for. Great event and will enter for 2024

Fantastic, friendly and encouraging marshals.

I have run this race around 20 times and still enjoy it as much as the first time.

There was a lady walking close to the finish line, she was saying some motivational stuff, i found it really empowering. I heard her saying , now you need to dig deep, and i did!
Thank you
