Well organised and great run

Can be a course to get a PB if the wind is behaving! However today the wind was fierce and made a challenging but fun race. Highly recommend

The general public

I think the general public should not be allowed on such a narrow course l had to ask a group of people and their dogs to move on the way back as they were blocking the entire path -very inconsiderate -it's only 1 hour 30 why can't they be stopped from using it during the race ?

Great organised event as always

Loved the run will do it again just a little , the end was very slippery and would have effected maybe a runners PB !

Great morning running on the coast

Given the weather, the start finish should have been moved to the start of the tarmac and the mid point pushed back. The finish was Incredibly dangerous

Organiser comment:

Unfortunately we are not allowed to block the cycle path, so the grass is the only option. When we setup it was fine but did get a bit slippery later on.

Fantastic, flat & fast

Great organisation, friendly supportive Marshalls, loved the gun fire start and fancy dress, only downside was the finish could have done with being on tarmac as due to the weather conditions made it very slippery and dangerous and impossible for a fast safe finish

It did get a bit slippery, but we are not allowed to block the cycle path. Something to think about though.

Great location for a 10K race

Location and facilities were good.
Water bottles were far too big - lots were being left with just a mouthful taken.
Start & finish on grass in such wet weather was a bit treacherous.
Would like to get a medal that says 10K - rather than the same medal for 5 & 10K.

Thanks for the feedback. The bottle were 500ml. It is very difficult to get 250ml bottles cost effectively. Normally we have cups, but the windy conditions meant we had to have bottles. We are not allowed to block the cycle path as it is shared usage with walkers, cyclists etc. All useful feedback though, thanks :)

Great day out

Friendly staff and marshals. Well organised and a nice medal. Didn't need any water but was good to see bottles of water half way on the 10k.

Very fun and well organised. Would do it again!

The finish was very slippery and downright dangerous due to the weather conditions.

Lovely run and appreciate the support from Emma, as I was running at the back.

Look forward to coming back and doing it next year
Thank you

Great run on a very easy course.

Finish and possibly the start too needs to be moved off the grass ideally, but well a organised event with friendly Marshalls.
