This was my first Run Through Uk event and I had a blast. Really well organised and a great value race. The emails sent out leading up to the day had all the information we needed and an extra one was even sent out to advise about the hot weather. Registration was nice and straight forward, no queues for either bib collection or bag drop. Music was playing for a good hour and half before the race which created a really nice atmosphere and they were even giving out 20p's for those with race numbers, so we didn't have to pay to use the park toilets which was a welcome surprise! Pre-race info/briefing could have been a little louder - there was a microphone, but it was a little hard to hear what was being said but apart from that the race started on time. 

The route itself is a lapped course through Hyde park on paths you share with the public. 2 laps for the 5k and 4 for the 10k. Plenty of markers up and marshals around the course so at no point were you unsure on where to go. Most of the marshals were great and shouted encouragement on every lap though on some of the later laps a few were on their phones which was a bit of a shame. Water was available on each lap which was great and very much needed in the heat - flip top bottle caps as well which are so much easier to drink out of! At the end received a medal and plenty of goodies including flapjack, banana and protein snack.

Overall a good evening and mid-week race. Medal was lovely and the race itself just had a nice atmosphere. Would recommend the chase the sun series for anyone looking to shake things up a little with a mid-week race!
