Had a good experience overall. The course was beautiful and scenic, and volunteers were really supportive! Expect it could get quite dangerous on hills if it was rainy - saw some people slipping and sliding with dry weather today.

Hi Beth - many thanks for your review. We are really glad that you enjoyed the course and the volunteer support. As you say, there was a lot of work went in across this last week after the storms last weekend to keep people safe (always the top priority for us). We will bring your comment about a 2nd water station on the 10km route for discussion at our wash-up meeting as we work towards 2027. We hope that we will see you again (7th November 2027 as a date for your diary... entries will open in just a couple of weeks). Best wishes, Jenny - Course Director, Frankenstein

3rd time running the Frankenstein, definitely my favourite 10k event! Stunning course through the woods with a shocker of a hill at the 8k mark. Lots of volunteers around the course cheering everyone on. Will be back next year!

Hi Johann. Many thanks for your review and sharing your triumphant medal photo. We hope that you enjoyed the music from our local Dave the Disco as you crossed the finish-line. He tries to announce as many finisher names as possible, but sometimes cannot get to every single person. We're so glad that you enjoyed the route, the crowd and the vibe. We hope that we'll see you again next year. Best wishes, Jenny - Course Director, Frankenstein

Hi Jessica. Many thanks for your lovely review and sharing that you would recommend this race. We also felt that the autumn colours through Marlow Common were especially beautiful, and with the damp mist it definitely gave it a Halloween vibe as well! Well done on your run and we hope that we will see you again next year. Best wishes, Jenny - Course Director, Frankenstein

Excellent, with a huge number of friendly marshals all the way round. (Plus loads more no doubt on the other two courses!). Very well organised and great atmosphere .

My first time running this event and it was great. All the pre-event build-up, the communications and information emailed was detailed and spot-on. The race itself was very different to your usual 10k road race. The start was iconic, with the bridge behind and after a short section of road, the trails were where the event got interesting. Yes, there were hills and yes, walking up them is most definitely fine, because what comes up..... A lovely downhill back onto road at 8k allowed you to gain some time back and the finish was in sight. Marshals were encouraging and there was one water stop around 6.5k. A second would have been nice, or this one earlier. Finish line goodies were some of the best - fab medal, bananas, Trek bars, Tenzing, Rebellion lager (alcohol free). The event village itself had stalls with food, merch and charities to support. Honestly out of the 100s of races I have done, this ranks up there for the challenge of the run, the support and the atmosphere at the start and finish.
