My first runthrough event and definitely not my last. Absolutely loved this one, can’t praise it highly enough. Tonnes of pre-race info, well signposted bag drop and toilets at the start, encouraging tannoy announcer, helpful registration people and friendly marshals. Limit of 500 people makes for a good atmosphere but not too busy. I liked that they did the 5k and 10k at the same event. 2 laps for the 5k and 4 laps for the 10k. The laps were like a sort of figure of 8 so you got to see runners coming the other way a few times. Mixer ability and all cheered home, which was great for me as I’m not super speedy. £25 got me a medal, a bottle of water and a couple of snacks, plus chopped timing and photos.

Fab race!  Great support by marshalls all the way round (so many tambourines!!!) and a warmup before the race was a nice bonus.  Made a change to do 4 laps for a 10k instead of doing a few longer laps, hadn't expected so many! Well supported but more expensive than othe...

Well supported but more expensive than other 10ks I've done here - fab medal and flapjack though! Would recommend if in the area

I like this event a lot. It really is a nice easy course that consists of a regular event close to me in the Olympic Park. I've done it a few times and because of it being a monthy event, it means you get to check your fitness and progress. 

It's mid-week also which is good. A 7pm race that allows you plenty of time to get there. Registration is easy and straighforward. You have the chance to either run a 5k (2 laps) or the 10K (4 laps)

the only downside to this event is the cost. I think it is prety steep at £21 for a 10k. The race organiser runs regular event in first sat of the month at around £16 so you can see the price difference. 

I"d still recommend it though so gie it a bash if in the area and it's on.

Thanks

I do love a run through event. This was my first chase the sun event and also my first 5k race. 

The weather was awful. It rained throughout. I love the rain but not so good for the organisers and spectators. 

As always the organisation was great. You could change in the local cafe and there was a bag drop. 

Nice warm up and well organised start- I started near the front based on my predicted time.

 

it was a multi lap route with some undulations.

At the end the medal and flapjack made it worthwhile. 

Thanks team!

Not the first 10K race i've run in the Olympic Park but the best to date. Despite the rain, the marshalls and support crew to hand did a brilliant job. A great and well priced midweek race - i will be back for more Chase the Sun events!
