Great event, will be coming back next year!
Slight gripe about the weird 'no bicycles in the car-park' rule, seemingly via dictat from Maclaren. Silly and unnecessary inconvenience for cyclists, as it meant dragging bike through densely wooded, brambly public footpath. I hope Maclaren rethinks this petty and retrograde rule next year. We need to make it really convenient to cycle to these things!
Thank you for your review. I understand why McLaren are reluctant. The link that was sent with information had a section on arriving by foot or by cycle and the route did not take you through McLaren or via that footpath which was mainly for the people being dropped off at McLaren.
Well organised fun run
Overall I thought the event was really well organised from parking venue to runners village.
The marshals were excellent and the course was well laid out. Possibly there could have been more distance markers but with most runners having Garmin watches this may well not be necessary.
Thank you for that. We had markers at 2k through to 9k for each lap.
Great event for a good cause
Shame McLarens don’t allow cyclists to enter via the road - not cycle friendly for those runners not wanting to drive to the event

Well organised and relaxed off road running
Thanks to the very many volunteers
Very friendly and welcoming, great atmosphere, lovely surroundings and extremely well organised before the event and on race day.
Great local trail race
I had a great time at my first Martian Race. The route was very flat for a trail race but still scenic, all the marshals were so friendly and supportive on the way round, and there were plenty of water stops in the blazing heat. Would highly recommend and will likely be back again in future!
Most friendly and fun 10k
Big whoop to the organisers, and the marshalls all the way around. I took a tumble and scratched my legs and they could not be more helpful and considerate all the way around. Always checking on me and offering extra water.
The terrain is wonderful too! Made it so much fun running through the woods. It was such a happy race. I would definitely do it again.
Perfectly arranged event for all ages and abilities
Beautiful course, lovely atmosphere
The race was my first and I appreciated the fact that it wasn't overcrowded. The instructions (emailed beforehand) were clear and the event ran to time. I had not expected to get a medal or my time, so was delighted with both! Friendly, supportive marshals. A really positive experience.
Beautiful setting and very well organised
It would be great to have some degree of entertainment for families who come to support, as they're on site for 1hr on average whilst runners are completing the race.
Keep the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. This is what makes you unique and stand out!!
Excellent event, very well organised and so, so friendly.
The marshalls at the event and in particular around the course were absolutely amazing, so encouraging and friendly. It really spurred you on to keep going. Absolutely loved it and will definitely do it again.
Lovely family feel like race!
Would be nice to have the year of the race on medals and t-shirts.
Brilliant Fun really well organised.
Martiantastic
Really enjoyed this year's Martian Run, well organised. The helpful and friendly volunteers, they did a great job, a big shout out to them all.
Although it being quite a challenging run with the heat and the route it was still very enjoyable and fun.
