Doug Anderson 5k is a brilliant race, organised and ‘staffed’ by real runners, which makes a real difference to the feel of the race and how well it all goes. Everything is really clear; race information, parking, swift (sustainable) number collection, and a great course. Very supportive marshalls and CAKE at the end.

Course was nice and easy to navigate. Great goodies after the run and very much enjoyed. Only criticisms would be the lack of toilets this year (from what I saw, there were only 6 in the starting area which were very congested and caused long wait times prior to the race starting) and bone conducting headphones not being allowed (this is all off road and well marshalled/signaged so I cannot understand why bone conducting headphones would not be permitted).

Great place to hold a race. Lots of room to warm up. Picking up numbers was very easy and quick and the queue moved easily. Toilet queue was quick, which is always important. Water available on the course and at the finish and a lovely bit of cake at the end. My only tiny issue was how many people bumped in to me and said sorry at the start, but that is not necessarily the fault of the start, more that people didn't get to a good position for their speed in the first place.

Always an enjoyable event, well organised, friendly atmosphere and good course on mainly flat tarmac paths in a beautiful park. Plus great cake at the finish! Thank you Bedford Harriers for staging another great event
