Beautiful, inclusive run. Very well organised.

Well organised & hot as usual. Stunning scenery & friendly Marshalls. Parking great and wonderful medals. Shame there was no hot food available this year. Maybe a few retail stalls could be included? Always a great race. Well done.

Organiser comment:

We look at different vendors and would like hot food but by the time someone that offered hot food said they would do the event we already had a couple of coffee/snack vendors and the food people did not want to come. It is something we look at.

Beautiful course, friendly team

Amazing event, great atmosphere & stunning course. Loved it.

Exceeded expectations once again.

The weather gods are always too kind-whilst you cannot change that -wonder whether you can start earlier-and perhaps look at a slightly shadier section for Heather Farm. would have been really nice to have a water station at Heather Farm-am sure the cafe can stretch to a water station-next time. My vote for the pre-race warm up is Coach Kat from my complete health

Organiser comment:

Thank you for your review. There are a lot of moving parts in this event and 99% are volunteers (including me). I and others have been on the course since 04:30 checking things. We set the course the day before but have to put extra signs out and check arrows have not been moved. If we try to start earlier we need people in earlier and we have to strike a balance otherwise we will not have the marshals we need. It is something we constantly review. On Heather Farm it is hard to get the route the correct distance and not go through Heather Farm This weekend is one of the busiest of the year and they do not have the capacity to help us there.

Hot race but very accessible to new runners.

A water stop on the 5k course would have been appreciated!

The race gets better and better each year.

Great signposting, great marshals, great event village and all supporting local charities. Top marks

Nice small race that could do with more water stations with water cups filled more than halfway

Great local community event

Thank you to everyone involved in the organisation. This is a great event.

A suggestion for next year - Can we have KM markers please

Reviewed using Eventrac, Jun 2026
Organiser comment:

KM markers sounds an easy fix but as the three adult distances split they would have to be distance specific. I moved the 21K route this year so it was more in the shade. We are only a very small team of volunteers and just run out of time sometimes.

Tough but great trail run

Great event and organisation

Great with radio Woking and commentary. Shame no baps or croissants this year for spectators - unhappy wife! :D

We tried for a food vendor but it didnt work out this year. I am a great fan of a bacon roll especially since I am others have been on the course since 04:30 so we will try to get someone for next year.

Great event

Tee shirt
Hi,
Are the tee shirts available in XL as I'm a 44" chest also will they be available to purchase on the race day?
Thank you
Paul

Brilliant!

Fantastic local event

Reviewed using Eventrac, Jun 2026

Lovely event for individuals and club runners.

A very hot day for running 10km, so the two water stations en route were brilliant.
Great course, encouraging marshals very quick results / stats email.
All ages made and levels of competency made to feel very welcome.
Clear, helpful comms pre race day.
