Nice event. Mile markers all over the place. People on other reviews moaning about no T-shirt, but don’t need one for a 5 miler. Expected results online faster from the company doing the results

Thanks Martin, I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion that the mile markers were incorrect? Unless you have a Jones Counter then there will always be variability with the positions. These were old reviews you saw about t shirts and there was never a promise of one for this event. The race results were virtually instantaneous with some great tech from the timing people. Not sure that we could have produced them any quicker than that. Glad you enjoyed the event

The good: Simple course, wide start finish road closed to cars, simple finish, no lap of the field! Friendly marshall’s. No medal or T-shirt, yes this is a positive, they’re just unnecessary & not having them keeps costs down & reduces environmental impact. The less good: ...

Thanks Naythan glad to see that you understand our work to keep entry costs down and reduce our impact on the planet. We will certainly look at changing the water provision at the end as we did at the water station

Really great value local event on a flat (mostly) course. Definite 5 mile PB potential, as there's only a couple of very small dips and rises.

Well organised event, started on time, on the ball with results and presentation! Cake was nice! Although medals don’t interest me anymore I know that some more novice runners were disappointed that there were none this year. As long as the results get on to RunBritain quickly...

Thanks for the review Terry. We have supported the organisation of the event for the past few years and have never provided medals. Glad you enjoyed the cake! We will get the results up asap for our 100% endorsement :)

Enjoyable race and well organised. Would have been better if the numbers were posted out and a t shirt would be better than a cup cake. Otherwise nice low key race, run by runners and not commercialised like most running events now

Hi Suet, we need to continue to work hard to keep events affordable and reduce our environmental impact. We may look to offer T shirts at an additional cost if people want. Glad you enjoyed the race

Excellent event, thoroughly enjoyed it . Well organised. Replacing the medal with a cake was a good idea but I understand some people expect a medal at these events.
