This is the first time I've completed a timed lapped event.

I did 2 laps which equalled 10 miles.

It was very muddy which you would expect for November but I didnt expect how muddy!

What I really loved about this one was the inclusivity that has been created. As it was a lapped event everybody supported each other no matter how fast, laps you were doing. I loved it for that and would make me sign up to another OTW event.

The water station was fantastic full of food and they would fill your water bottle I ready for the next lap.

There was really great support throughout the event both from the organisers and fellow runners. The course was beautiful. I had aimed to run a half marathon but managed an extra lap!

First time I've completed an On the Whistle event and I'll definitely do another one. Really friendly organisers who made the event feel very welcoming. A beautiful loop with pretty views and lots of encouragement on the way from others runners and locals out and about. Great refreshments to keep you going on the loops and I liked having a place to leave my water bottle whilst minimising the use of plastics too. Two big thumbs up and that's without mentioning the fabulous bit at race bling! Thank you On the Whistle.

A fantastic race I quite enjoyed the laps. Everyone was very friendly. The lady on the aid station was brilliant she helped me find my bottle each time as I couldn't see for looking 😂 Also I liked that the medal was put around my neck rather than just passed to me. Fab idea having the coffee seller as it was very good for the supporters and runners before and after. Can't wait for next year.

A great multi-lap event on woodland paths and gravel tracks. Their is a friendly atmosphere with runners of all abilities cheering everyone on as they crossed paths on the outbound and return sections.. The organisers know their stuff and put on simple turn up and run events in countryside surroundings. The addition of a hot food van this year was a good idea as warm food and a hot drink was most welcome after the run. The medal, aid station and post race goodies were worth the fee. These events are great for marathon training as running with a group of people is lot easier than training on your own.

Loved this race. I thought I would get bored very quickly of laps, but actually it made it much easier to tackle, by just taking it one lap at a time. I managed 4 laps, and I honestly think I could have managed at least another 1. The race had a lovely friendly feel to it (loved the hug at the finish!), complete with cuddly cows, and the aid station was full of lots of festive goodies, including vegan options, which was brilliant! I'd definitely do this race again!

On the Whistle events are always well organised and fun. This year's race followed the reverse route to previous years for a little bit of variety. The aid station had plenty to drink, loads of munchies, and fudge. There was food for vegetarians and vegans too, all clearly labelled. We're never let down. There was excellent support from organisers and other runners with lots of encouragement and congratulations when I trudged through the finish. I'll definitely go again next year.

This was my first OTW event and I will be back for more. The RD, people on the aid station and marshals were all so friendly and supportive. There were runners of all abilities going for various distances - there was no pressure to stay on course for the full 6 hours. The aid station was well stocked with loads of goodies. The race starts and finishes in Staunton Country Park and loops around Havant Thicket. Its a pretty loop over wide and runnable tree-lined paths. It is well marked with marshals at crucial turning points for the first three laps. On finishing your race you ring a bell (a great feeling!) and get your time, medal, goody bag and hug/handshake from the RD.

Great event with encouraging, fun and friendly organisers. These events are great - no pressure and all abilities welcome but a push to challenge yourself if you want it. Quiet, scenic route shared with other runners and dog walkers so no big crowds for support but the lap finish point/food station is manned with super encouraging people to set you up for another lap. Thank you On the whistle events, I'll see you again sometime (maybe ultra next time...) !
