In short: Well organised, gentle course. Lovely crowd.
In full: Great race with very friendly organisation and marshalls. I really liked that you could print off a wee slip with your time on. My one complaint is out of their control though. Richmond Park on a saturday morning is properly busy. While obviously everyone has equal rights to use the park, if I'm hooning round at (admittedly not a great ) pace, I don't want to be in and out of ditches dodging mountain bikes and hurdling cocker spaniels and Bugaboos in the process. I know it would be a pain to set a lane for the race, maybe I'm not being realistic, but perhaps an earlier start would help. Disclosure: I own a bike, a dog and a pram a

In short: Well organised, happy marshals but very cold!!!
In full: Extremely well organised from beginning to end (like the fact you find out immediately on a print out how you ran, time, overall position etc). The marshalls were all very upbeat and happy despite standing out in the cold! May well be back for more of these events later on in the year!

In short: Lovely course, even in the pouring rain and cold
In full: OK, so this review is very late and I'm biased because our lass did a PB, but I have to say that if you're looking for a run in London in great scenery, with happy and efficient marshalling and good organisation, then look no further. We'll definitely do another. A friend did this as her first race and LOVED it. Only gripe...Why start early. Superb. Well done

In short: Great scenery, hills to challenge, friendly marshalls
In full: Friendly and laid back, but all the organisation worked. Couldn't always hear the instructions at the start but that didn't cause any difficulties. Course is 2x Richmond Parkrun but starting at Sheen Gate so an uphill start. Marshalls were really encouraging and friendly, healthy banana at the end. Got a PB even with the hills so I'm happy

In full: I think the timings were inaccurate - or my watch is dodgy - the online timings added 1 min and 9 secs. Also, some of the km markers did not seem to be correctly placed - the distnace between 1km and 2km very short, and between 3km and 4km was very long - did others think so? Otherwise well organised and friendly
