Quirky and fun
Another 1st class event from Barry !!
Great out and back course
Great for all runners. Nice out and back course. Atmosphere was good. Very well organised. Medal is nice.
Great first smugglers run
will def be back.. just hope wind is turned down next time
Well organised, highlighted route, Marshall are very friendly and give lots of good praise, it a joy full event, I done it twice now, nice flat route.
Bonus not to have to worry about parking, I always worry about where to park and end up miles away to avoid the cost but This event is my favourite, and the toilets are good also another worry, but these worries are pushed aside and I have the time to make sure I sort me., so defo a massive bonus, I'll be doing this next year. And also the canons were fabulous this year,
A great venue / event for my first 10k
A very enjoyable run - difficult run back to the finish due to the direction of the wind (so if you could fix that for next year - would be greatly appreciated !)
great run, despite the wind!
Great run in a fab spot and very well organised
Excellent
This was my first ever event and I was nervous however, the organisation and atmosphere really calmed me down and I loved it! Absolutely brilliant!
Pirate Fun!
It would be good if there was somewhere to recycle the envelopes with our race info.
Great event and well organised
Really enjoyed my 1st Smugglers Run. I'll be back again.
Excellent flat 10 k for all runners
Unfortunately as excellent as always the organisation (Sporting Events are second to none) the only problem you may have with this run if you’re a beginner, is the weather. Really does work your mind. Last year rain this year wind. But I will be there again next year
Excellent Event
Well organised event. Only thing that could have made it better would have been a couple of biscuits at the end to replace some energy.
Amazing as always
Absolutely fantastic event
Highly recommended
Loved the run, good for all abilities and well organised
Highly recommended event.
Brilliant organisation, everyone very helpful and friendly. Very supportive Marshalls.
I loved the gun fire start with the swashbuckling pirates. Only downside was the cold weather and the wind in face on way back.
Lovely flat coastal run
Well organised with good race instructions prior to the event.
Nice flat route along the coast with good views and great opportunity for a PB. Race time was instant via text straight afterwards.
I would recommend this 10K race.
Enjoyable race
Well organised but without fussiness
Only criticism is that when the race instructions were being given couldn’t hear for music blaring out of the speakers
