In short: Fast, flat and a few yards from my house - what could be better?
In full: The one race I can walk to from my front door - why haven't I done it before?
Great organisation, despite having to make a few little last minute changes to the course due to flooding. Thanks, to all involved.
Just one suggestion - why not advertise the race locally and encourage a few more unattached runners along?

In short: Rain held off and even a bit of sun!
In full: Good flat race which I have done a few times. Could have done with a 5-4-3-2-1 at the start. Marshalls very encouraging and were doing their job well in the dangerous places. (to those who thought there were not dangerous places, that is because the Marshalls did well).
Runners at finish wlaking aimlessley across where other runners were still coming in - be aware. Good to get a cup of tea after. Could not wait for presentations, maybe could have been a bit earlier - as per previous years?
Overall great race, well organised, and worth noting that "running clubs do it better!"

In short: Excellent race
In full: Excellent race. Well organised and excellent marshalls. Special thanks to the marshall who tried to sweep water off the path. Nice to finish on an athletics track. A bit slower than I'd hoped but this was down to me rather than the course! Hope to be back next year.

In full: I was not pleased when I saw Death at the start line, but he didn't have his scythe with him, so I live to run another day...

In full: enjoyed the event but thought the finish was a bit underwhelming - sad really as it was on a athletic track! Did not see any goodie bags .

In short: Good,friendly,very well organized race ending with a flourish
In full: Once again I was impressed by the people who run this. Not every club race is welcoming,well organized and well marshalled. This one is. And although the race has plenty of footpaths and hits the unlovely back streets of Perivale,there's a nice park with a great view of the Wembley arch and a nice finish on an athletics track. This race was plagued by very heavy rain beforehand which made for wet ground and massive puddles but congratulations to the great marshall with a broom,gallantly trying to brush it away from a stubborn,sodden footpath. Your efforts and that of the whole club did not go unnoticed. See you next year.

In short: Flat course, plenty of puddles, well organised, nice finish
In full: Not the most scenic route, but a competent well-organised run finishing with a lap round the athletics track. Well organised, but not sure if there were enough lockers to go round, goody bag was nothing great (I'm not a fan of them anyway). Large amounts of rain before the race resulted in a very small change to the route, and plenty of puddles along the way, but no real problems. Thanks to all concerned at ESM.

In short: Very well organised fast race
In full: Plenty of toilets, parking is no problem, friendly atmosphere and nice warm clubhouse to get changed. Was surprised how fast the pace was as I prefer long distance but as someone else said, it's really good to run with a faster group and I managed to knock off 3.5mins of last year's time! This is in my yearly race calender. Well done Ealing.
