Great route. Beautiful sunny day. Great Marshall assistance
Neil Taylor
Well organised and a good challenge
Minor observation- no bins evident!
Thank you for your comment. There were large bins within the Race Village. On the course, all the marshals had a litter bag and they picked things up as they cleared the course. We had Woking Litter Warriors walk the course as well and on Monday I walked the course looking for litter and signs that had not been collected. As Horsell Runners we are very keen to preserve Horsell Common and keep it clean and tidy.

A great local event!
Well organised and fun
Many thanks to the organisers, and the very many marshalls, the event was excellent and super organisation.
Sonia Elliman
Lovely trail 10k
Great to have 2 water stations on the 10k race. Friendly event - all the marshals were very motivating and friendly. Thank you.
Paul Collyer
Unbelievable
Considering the weather, fantastic support and very much appreciated cold water at water stations
Michael Ferry
A very inclusive atmosphere
Caroline Pocknall
Great event, very well organised, lots of marshalls.
Caroline Cross
Thoroughly enjoyable and well organised event.
All the marshalls were cheerful and encouraging. A nice small event so not too overwhelming especially if you're new to this. Well organised and no problems throughout. Thank you. I'll be back
Stephanie Foyle
Great Event!
Ian Ayres
Enjoyable despite the heat
Rebecca Clark
Well organised
Very well organised, a lot of hard working volunteers and great signposted.
Paul Knivett
Exemplary run event. Thorough pre-event communication. Clear PA announcements throughout and well marshalled.
Parking at the Maclaren site and walking to the event village was stress-free, secure and straightforward.
The route is well signposted and all the marshals were encouraging
Paul Bradley
Well organised but need to adjust to conditions
It was a great run but, given the increasingly extreme weather occurrences (the race has had high temperatures for the last 3 years), you should consider starting the runs earlier in the day to avoid people running in such high temperatures
Thank you for your review. We have considered this in the past. I and others are on the course from 04:30-05:00. The Marshals have a briefing at 07:30. I must remember that this is staffed entirely by volunteers and asking them to be there too early will discourage some and perhaps mean that we do not have sufficient. That is why we settled on the times shown.
Carol Fairburn
Absolutely brilliant!
I’m a road runner and this was my first trail event and I sure picked a good ‘un! From booking my place through to race day itself, communication, organisation, location, parking and race medal were superb. A huge thank you to all the hard working volunteers too, standing encouraging runners in the very hot weather must’ve been hard work. Very friendly event, can definitely recommend. Thank you.
Sian Wynne-Morgan
Great fun, well organised
Really enjoyed my first Martian race despite the heat! Lots of Marshalls. Everyone very friendly, picturesque location and scenery. Another coffee van next year please and the year and distance on the medals would be great. Thanks to the organisers - I had a great time!
Jim Craig
2nd time, brilliantly organised
This was mine and my daughter’s 2nd Martian Race and we loved it again. Really well organised, friendly and helpful volunteers, much needed shade at the end with plenty to keep you occupied, ice creams, coffee, massages, excellent. Thank you to all the volunteers for creating such an amazing experience.

Kerry Sawyer
One of the best organised runs I have ever done
Fantastic event - superbly organised from start to finish - booking, parking, race village & very interesting & fun route. Great atmosphere with the most supportive martials all the way around. This will become an annual event in my diary without a doubt. Thanks to all involved : )
