The volunteers were exceptional at this race, particularly at a really hilly bit right at the end, where they came and ran with you. The course was definitely trickier than I'm used to, but it was a great experience, and I will be back next year. The biscuits and bananas at the end were also a very fun and unexpected treat! Atmoshphere was also lovely with lots of food trucks and stalls and it felt like the whole community had showed up to support. Would recommend!

Wonderful atmosphere and excellent facilities. A real ‘Festival’ feel to the event, made all the more enjoyable due to brilliant sunny weather. Excellent opportunity to reuse funds and awareness for Melanoma Focus charity as well as other charities. Great visible support and stewarding- lovely motivational shoutouts and the local community are very supportive too! Jelly babies were most welcome.

First time running the Reigate Half. Beautiful course through the countryside, but a relatively challenging one. There's obviously the infamous hill just before the end (which is indeed murder), but you also start off going uphill, there's a significant hill at the half way point and everything in between undulates a fair bit. Of course being a loop every up is matched with a down, and I still ran a PB, but my legs are letting me know about it the day after! I maybe wouldn't recommend this as a first Half as it was tough in places. Public support in the town and along the route was great, the marshalling and general organisation on the day was good, but I knocked a couple of marks off for the back end logistics. No option to have the bib posted in advance, and I travelled too far to pick it up from the shop in Reigate. To be fair the pickup on the day went smoothly, but I was worried about it and came extra early to be on the safe side. I would much rather have been able to turn up race ready. More seriously, the results were a bit of a mess on the day. No notification at all of my time, and when I followed the instructions to get the results from their website there was nothing there. I ended up queuing to get my official time in a tent, which was different! The results eventually came up a few hours later, but even then it seemed to only be showing the gun time, it was only after following someone's advice on Facebook that I found my chip time as it wasn't obvious where to find it. Shame, as it let down and otherwise well put together and enjoyable event. I'd certainly consider running it again in the future.

Really fantastic event village and run course, even with the steep hill at the end. Plenty to do to keep the children supporting busy! The portable toilets were rather disgusting with no sanitiser or hand washing facilities available. It would be really nice to have a gluten free kiosk for after (if there was and I missed it, sorry). The parking was great, but it wasn’t clear if you needed to book or not in advance - you didn’t need to but it would have been nice for the clarity. All in all, we had a really lovely time!
