Thank you so much, ZigZag, for a wonderful first running experience with you.
You were all SO welcoming! I could see that you kept the good variety of food and drink topped up all day which doesn't happen at some events. Your volunteers were all amazing - so encouraging. I liked the raffle draw at the start (even though I didn't win - it's a nice touch!).
The car park set up in the morning was ever so slightly confusing (we ended up having to re-park in the staff car park at the hospital and there was no token system as described in the race briefing pack - this isn't a complaint at all, just genuine feedback as I think some people ended up paying in the adjacent car park :) )
The race brief document was otherwise very helpful.
The medal is an absolute beast!
I will definitely run with you again and will recommend you to others too.

There did seem a lack of marshals stillout there for the ultra runners, we obviously know he route but with tiredness etc a few more marshals out there would be beneficial for any assistance.
I would recommend a few black bin bags on the course, there were few places for used gels and drink bottles etc to be disposed of unless you went off route which meant runners did drop them on the course.

I also enjoyed volunteering this time

always made to feel welcome, good selection of drinks and sweets to keep you going

Felt like I was with family and friends all round

This was my first Zig Zag Running event and my first half marathon. I thought that this was a really friendly and well organised event. I will definitely aim to attend another one.

I love this type of event, because of the relaxed atmosphere, I can get very stressed about racing, but this format helps me overcome my battles and still achieve a half marathon distance.

Having a massage later proved a valuable bonus.
Really happy with my medal bling
Loved the pic n mix and the cake selection

Can’t fault the event organisation. I arrived early, and at the wrong time that had been booked (I hadn’t booked myself) and they swapped start times over without any issue.

Location was good, lovely route with great views (it was sunny so that always helps!!). The route was however though some wooded areas, paths, gravel paths and grass so there were a few trip hazards to watch out for and it wasn’t always smooth footing - something to be mindful of for runners that are only used to one type of terrain.

Facilities great, refreshment tent well stocked and there was building with toilets and somewhere to leave bags etc (at own risk).

Would definitely recommend this event, and will definitely be back!

If you want the aim of a race but don't want to be overwhelmed with lots of people, a big crowd and feeling like people are watching, then this is the one - super friendly and I've never been offered such a big slice of cake (at the end)

Zig zag is well run, friendly and a fun event for all types of runners. The organiser has a great sense of humour , the volnteers / staff are fantastic and we even had sunshine! Loved it. Thanks guys x

Brilliant organisation plus you get free cake at the end. What more could a runner want

Once the pain has gone might consider doing another one. The format works really well- no pressure running and everyone was friendly

This was a great event. Loved the atmosphere and all the sweets and treats. So relaxed and if you're not into racing this is ideal. You do what want and how.
