Enjoyable the remembrance service before is great

Very friendly team of marshalls and well organised throughout. Beautiful village and surrounding run route. The remembrance service before the run and beautiful medal was very poignant. An enjoyable event.

My second time at this event and I had an absolute hoot running with my pals. The course is challenging in places but the cake and medal are worth it.
My only slight negative is that perhaps Marshals should hold cars with their engines off during the remembrance service. Those people should have enough respect to do that but it wasn’t the case on Sunday which was a shame.
I’ll be back next year, that’s to all for a fantastic race.

Car park could do with separate entrance/exit for cars and pedestrians. Also could do with Marshall’s helping people when leaving as is a bit difficult to see getting out especially with lots of pedestrians walking in the road and through the same gate.

The marshals who were managing the traffic out on the course did a brilliant job in sometimes challenging conditions. The car park entrance and exit needs refinement. We witnessed a near-miss when someone pulled out of the car park as the visibility is poor due to the hedges and pedestrians blocking the view as they wait to enter the car park. Lots of marshals there on arrival but none there when trying to depart.

It would have been very useful to have a marshal at the car park entrance after the event as it was a very slippery uphill slope to a blind exit, some additional straw or gravel over the last few feet of mud/grass would have prevented wheelspin, some rear wheel drive cars were really struggling!

Would like to say a massive thank you to the sweepers this year. being the last finishers they were very supportive and we did not feel like we were under pressure to go faster, this made for a very very enjoyable experience this year. 7 min 19 second PB and a much better experince with the sweeper this year. Thank you

The remembrance service before the race makes this a unique event. The first mile or two makes you concerned that this is a very hilly course but it flattens out. Nice support from the isolated farms and villages.

Keep up the good work!

My only disappointment was the sausage in a bun bought at the end, it was inedible and ended up in the bin! The thing that cheered me up was that it raised money for the school so not all bad

When finished, it was not immediately clear where to exit to see other runners in. The natural tendency when unable to see the exit is to return over the timing mat, which would create chaos. Some signage may be helpful to assist finishers.

Supplying the race numbers in an envelope was wasteful, particularly as the table with the pens and safety pins was littered with empty envelopes.

Keep up the good work!

Have done this several times now and is still one of my all time favorites.
I love the small loop at the start to allow the field to open out before heading back past the school.
The only areas where I think it falls down is with the finish where i'd like to see a straight line finish to aid that final sprint. (Difficult I know with the open road) and a better surface between 6 & 8 miles. I know it's a private road but the condition of this gets worse with more potholes year on year. It's a slow section that lets down the rest of a cracking course.
