This race was one of the most prepared and well-thought out ones I have done. Really well stocked, staffed and the course was great. The medal was of amazing quality, and you could pick which design you wanted which was a lovely surprise. There was so much choice of goodies for a...

Overall a solid event. Well organised and great after race snacks and of course ‘Grim’ medals. I’d do it again!

A great run, the organiser's let me go an hour earlier due to a mix up with the start time on my part. Always plenty of goodies at the finish line. A lovely gang of people that I enjoy running events with.

Always great at Grim, but this was particularly nice as my friend ran his first ever marathon. Nice that it could be with Grim 😊

What stood out for me was how friendly the registration staff were, and the majority of the competitors were very encouraging. I would have liked a race pack pre-event, but I do understand that it takes both time and money to organise. On the day, some of the signing for course directions was missing. I got lost once and had to guess which way to go as there was no sign to follow. Thankfully I guessed right, so all was well. I also went the wrong way with about 4-5 miles to go, although one of your marshalls shouted me over and redirected me. Again, in this instance, the signage could have been better. I really don't want to moan or complain, because the overall experience was excellent. However, I know that constructive feedback is important and I hope that is how what I have said will be taken. Thanks, everyone, for a great day!

I think it would be good to have a proper marked up start and finish with a flag / someone standing at the end handing out medals to make it more personal cause a lot of ppl may have been missed when they ran back. Just helps with encouragement and motivation. It was my first time too so a little unsure at first about what I should do. Can’t really go wrong with where to go I don’t think anyway. I know it’s run on volunteers so all rounder really good and I will be doing it again for sure. Thanks
