Carrying the bags is not ideal I would prefer the bags to be given at the finish line. Also there should be water available at the finish line runners should not have to buy water after a 5k run.

Great event and nice course (apart from the hills ha ha). It was very well organised and a lovely atmosphere with so many families taking part. We knew we would be getting chocolate treats around the course, which was exciting, and kept us all going, but there was also the surprise of a chocolate fountain for all at the end! Chocolate has never tasted so good! Thanks to all involved - we’re definitely coming again next year!

Overall the event was very good, my main complaint is that the first wave of runners were delayed 10 minutes. I was in the second wave, which for some reason started just minutes after the first, when there should have been a 20 minute gap as shown by the planned timings for the day. This meant that I was rushed to the start line without proper time to prepare for the run.
