Fun race, 1st half lots of up hill but after halfway flat and downhill. All on Road so no trip hazards and overall great race 😊

This was my first time at Marlow and I came away with it being my new favourite course and event! However undulating it was the Marshalls and general public that lined the streets made it a thoroughly amazing morning. The organisation was second to none and I will be back to ru...

A great race, very smooth from sign-up to completion. Big screens at end to see results coming in live is a unique touch. Moving the bag drop following 2024 feedback was an improvement and made race village less crowded. Great work Striders!

Well organised run on a lovely route. The hills were just long enough to be challenging without being brutal. Everything ran against a backdrop of gorgeous autumn colours.

I’m relatively new to running so was a bit hesitant to book this as my first race as I knew it was hilly. I’m so glad I did as I loved every minute of it (and there’s no shame in walking up the 3 steep but short hills)! Really well organised, great friendly atmosphere & so muc...
