A really unique concept for a race that worked really well despite the rain. A proper adventure not knowing where the run was taking you and the format is perfect for the times we live in. With everyone starting seperately and chooisng their own route there was no crowding and the marshalls and runners were all able to properly socially distance. Will definitely do one again.

Really enjoyed the run, despite the weather. Local knowledge is definitely required unless you want to start fiddling around with Google Maps during the run.
Loved the challenge of finding the most direct route between checkpoints. After all results were in it would have been interesting to have been able to compare my distance between checkpoints against others and maybe see their routes.
Pre race information : There was a lot of it in various forms at different times. Could be streamlined.
Cost...a little high. Luckily l won my entry!

Really enjoyed the event, need to have clearer marshalled check-in stations. It was a bit like hide and seek rather than a clear point to run to. Better for example to say. run to the Victoria monument in Victoria park. But the concept was good, and really enjoyed the event despite the rain.

A different way to be part of a bigger race, but carefully controlled with much smaller groups of runners, allowing for safe social distancing throughout.
Not knowing where the next checkpoint was going to be was fun and it kept the run interesting and as there was no actual map, there were lots of different ways to navigate to the next checkpoint.
Because of the bad weather conditions (torrential rain for most of the day), it was a bit more difficult to see the checkpoints as the balloons had deflated in the rain, and the visibility wasn't great, but that's my only criticism, and the rest of the event was brilliant.
I would definitely do it again and would have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

This was such a unique event and brilliantly organised. Like digital orienteering with your phone - it felt like a real adventure. I would definitely recommend the Secret Run to anyone who wants to try something different to the traditional race format. Bring on the next one!!
