Excellent event
Long queues for toilets especially pre race.
Accompanying non runner spouse suggested more coffee vans as queues were so long he didn't get a drink.

Great friendly event.
More food outlets - husband was queuing with the kids the whole time I was running the 5k so missed my finish.

Thought it was a very nice race.
Everyone was kind and polite and willing to answer any questions. My only negative would be that it was mentioned that there were photographers along the course which I remember seeing as I ran past but unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be many photos and none of us running which is a shame. I know it’s something minor but would have been nice to see a picture of me running.

Good fun run over varied but not difficult surfaces
Would be good to have more water stations.

Fantastic family day out
This was our first time entering this race. We heard about it from my daughters school (Beaufort). It was really well organized and everything ran smooth and on time.
The martials were super helpful and smiley and the course was marked out very clearly. Running through the common and the forest was lots of fun.
The atmosphere was great and the kids had a great both during and after the race.
The only thing I would suggest to the organizers, is possibly have some more food vans or additional entertainment things for the kids to do while the adults were running their races.

This race is well worth doing - great scenery; superb organisation and marshalling; good value for money.
I was a little disappointed not to see any Martians/aliens on the route. As it was The Martian Races perhaps a couple of the marshalls could have dressed as Martians or maybe some of the signs along the route could have depicted the theme? Aside from that, it was a great experience and I would recommend this race.

Great race
Really well organised event and on time. I ran 21km and all competitors I came across were so friendly. The martials were super helpful and smiley. Only very minor point was the route registered less than 21km so had to do a little further trot at the end!
