Feedback from runners

‘The entire event was a welcome break from the pandemic – a small slice of normality we treasured after months of training alone. From the organisers to the volunteers and race marshals, the event felt wonderfully safe and a fine example of how races can return in the UK’.

Feedback from a recent participant:

“A huge thank you for an amazing Marathon and Half-Marathon – I participated for the full Marathon on Saturday and my husband ran today in the half. This was an exceptionally organised event – the support team were absolutely outstanding and their cheers of encouragement kept us both going. The route was beautiful and challenging at times but overall it was a fantastic experience. We cannot overstate the massively positive impact that you have had on so many people by putting this COVID safe event on. We realise how much extra work went into this year but please rest assured it was genuinely appreciated and has brought joy and freedom to so many. Thank you all so very much – you have set the standard now for future COVID compliant events. We will definitely be coming back next year…You are all wonderful and special people.”
