Outstanding arrangement done by all the organisers. My kids enjoyed running. Weather was nice and the running track was scenic and natural.
Friendly, well organised and enjoyable.
Fun race in lovely scenery that is great for all comers
I can highly recommend listening to Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds while doing the 10k
Excellent local event
Great off-road charity event!
McLaren Centre parking was great. This was my first Martian 10k race and I was very impressed by the organisation and friendliness of the marshals. Off-road and traffic free events are my preference. Most of the route was wide enough to overtake but some of the paths towards the finish were very narrow and twisty with more than a fair share of tree roots. I thought this made the course more hazardous than it should have been. However, overall a very enjoyable race in spite of my reservations.
Family friendly fun!
Very good
Far more toilets needed. Maybe have a men’s urinal block?
Amazing race course!
Had so much fun and what an absolute privilege to run through such beautiful grounds! Really great race and I look forward to next year.
Only disappointment was I paid for a small t shirt and the smallest you had was medium which for an 8st woman is way too large.
Im going too see if I can sort this out! Gav Race Director
Great route, great organisation, really fun.
Lovely family event
Well marshalled, friendly and helpful volunteers.
Beautiful setting, the different routes for the races were clear, and varied in terrain which added to the interest. Thank you.
Very well managed, fantastic atmosphere. The course is very scenic, and the medals look great.
Excellent race.
Such a great event - everyone was so friendly and encouraging! Thank you!
Very good local trail and very well organised
Great race
The heat does get bad this time of year. Particularly as runners are so local, it would be good to start earlier (esp the 21k and 10k).
Hello. thank you for the feedback! We did move the start times all forward by 30minutes from last year. Some of us are on the course at 5.30am checking that it's all good from the previous days set up. Then we all start arriving at 6am, 6.30am, 7.30 which is the latest that circa 80 volunteers arrive. We will look at of course, but if we bring it any earlier in the day, it means an even earlier start for our volunteers and this has the potential knock on effect that maybe they wont be so keen to volunteer! (noting we have all ages helping from Girl Guides all the way up to Retired)! one we will continue to think about!
Well organised, friendly & fun!
Well organised number collection & bag drop.
Loved the marshals encouragement and the chap announcing our names out as we approached the finish line, a nice touch!
More time for the 10k warm up & extra loo's needed.
Loved it!
Great course, really well organised and fab fall all ages / capabilities. Will definitely do again!
Just gets better and better
I’ve run this race a few times and each year it gets better. 2024 was the best yet. Great organisation from beginning to end. Easy parking, plenty of toilets (although you can never have too many), good PA, clearly marked course and lots of marshalls to ensure runners stayed on track.
It’s never going to be a fast course and it has loads of twists and turns, plus some gnarly roots to contend with, but it’s varied and fun, with a great atmosphere.
Thank you Martian Race.
Very enjoyable run
Really enjoy this run, great route and very well organised.
A really good local Woking run event.
Well done all those involved.
