Just good fun. Nice course and plenty of food and drink at the end!!

Lovely, scenery, flat route through Horsel common. Well organized, with plenty of enthusiastic marshalling. Definitely an event to do again.

Picking up the race numbers was easy, bag drop and parking was simple a well organsied event.
The route was a mixture of sun and shade which was good due to the race being sunny but if it was raining the trees would still provide a reasonable amount of shelter.

The course is quite twisty and over a number of different terrains it was well sign posted and marshalls seemed to always be near by.

Great event providing you are up for x country and woods.
Superb original metal medal, good parking at McLaren.

Great atmosphere, lovely course around the MTC (if you're an F1 this is your race!) well marshalled and great fun all around!

Such a great atmosphere, a lovely mix of participants, some new to running and some who have done many running events. The unique factor for the Martian race is you get a real sense of community from the great volunteers and organiser which is infectious when you are taking part. I love to do it every year.

Beautiful route, well marshalled and signposted, great warm up and energy, nice pre and post race village options. Easy parking, well organised, amazing medal, can’t fault it. Big love to Pete and Majid

We missed the goodie bags at the end this year and I’d have preferred more of the route to be in the shade, but it was well signposted and all the volunteers were fantastic!

Could have done with more food, coffee choices for supporters who would have spent more money.

Really enjoyable morning in the heat of the June sun! Very well organised, lots of marshalls, plenty of toilets and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Mixed surfaces and a winding route, ideal for those dipping their toes into trail running (although I still managed to get sent sprawling by a rogue tree root!). Will hopefully run it again next year.

My daughter ran the 2km race.
My son ran the 5km race.
My husband race the 10km race and I was holding all the bags!
It was well organised and the kids loved the enthusiastic warm up crew and a hug from the awesome person who was dressed up in the lion suit despite the hot temperatures! Big shout out to them.
Possible suggestions:
A marshal on the toilets to ensure that runners due to race are jumped to the head of the queue.
More toilets is often nice, but as i work in construction, i understand the huge costs of portaloos.
Possibly invite more coffee vans. Do you get a % from the coffee van profits towards your charity? We do this with our PTA events at the school.
It would be ideal to have the year on the race ribbon but i understand there may be a cost implication. The kids love the medal having an alien face!!
I love the fact your get a discount if you book early.
Finally my husband and son commented on how nice it was running in the shade of the forest and i got to shelter in the trees behind the coffee vans which was ideal.
Keep doing what you are doing and we are looking forward to signing up in 2026!
