BUPA Great North Run by DC
| | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 60% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 100% | | Organisation | | 60% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 100% |
In short: Not a race but a terrific event.
In full: This could be improved with a pulse start and a chipped race like Glasgow, but that might turn it into more of a race. It's the first time I cracked 2 hours in this event and it took 5 mins to cross the start. The red arrows were superb too. Looking forward to next year already.

BUPA Great North Run by Ed Stapley
| | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 60% | | Atmosphere | | 100% | | Organisation | | 60% | | Value | | 60% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Still a great event, made more so by the Red Arrows display, but when will they get serious about organising the start?
In full: Running through the city centre packed with supporters and over the bridge makes for a very special start, no matter how many times you've run the event. The start needs to be organised better to remove the fun runners from near the front. If you don't have an elite number but still want to try and run a time, it's becoming very difficult. The Red Arrows display makes a great feature of the finish.

In short: Never run so far, so fast downhill, once I'd got to the top that is!!

In short: Organisation at the start needs to be looked into. To many people jumping into the wrong pens. This should really be a chipped race as well.

BUPA Great North Run by Mr Cow
| | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 40% | | PB potential | | 40% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: well worth the effort but made harder by the walkers. fully enjoyed it and raised plenty of money at the same time
In full: The pace markers at the start denoting your expected finish time were a waste of time, people of all shapes and sizes and abilities made their way to the front prior to the start. other than being held up in places, a good run.

Eridge Park 10 Trail Challenge by ANDREW Cloke
| | Overall score | | 80% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 80% | | PB potential | | 40% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 60% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 40% |
In short: Often narrow. well marked track. watch your step, very muddy and very steep (up and down) in places. But a real change to road racing, with not a car in sight. I loved it.

In short: Great scenery, but more like the 3 peaks challenge than a run. The hill between 2k & 3k goes on forever!

In short: If you want to run a race for racing sake then it's not the race for you. However, if you want to experience what running is all about the definitely do it... again and again

In short: dear to enter, but its still good
In full: although its never made for PB's, and its a nightmare at times, this is still one of those runs you have to do at least once...and the atmosphere is great, although some haven't enjoyed it as much as others...
