A great low key event welcoming runners of all abilities

Seeing a course map prior to the event proved tricky and wasn’t sent out on the pre-event instructions.
Fab signposting and marshalling around the course.

Smaller friendly event with a scenic route and a fab medal

Loved this event, not too crowded and a great route

They need more toilets

Very good great marshals, but the queue for the toilets was too long.

Very well organised

As much as you could hope for. Well organised, scenic, and quite flat so good for a pb.

Very good race but need more toilets!!

Good race, well organised. Excellent Marshall’s and gold number of them. The event lacks a bit of atmosphere on route as there are very few spectators who come out, no fault of the organisers of course. The only negative is the lack of toilets. There are some st the start but insufficient number of them, causing long queues and no toilets on route. Other than that all great, thanks to the organisers and Marshalls

Flat Half with supportive crowd

Very enjoyable route, crowds at the richmond end of the route were very supportive.
Last 2 miles back towards the finish was very busy on the path.
Please improve the water stations for next year. Cups were too small, and after you grab them, there was barely 2 mouthfuls left.
Overall, it was a very good event!

First half marathon!

The race was very well planned overall from the point of getting our numbers and that marshall being really supportive around the route! It was my first half marathon and I like how there were only around 600 runners so it didn't seem too serious. The flat route and very nice scenery around the river was a bonus too!

Really well organised, great atmosphere, for the most part a lovely route along the river. The loop at the end is horrible!

Great event, well organised

Ideally, to avoid running of grass as it was challenging

Good run but I’m not a far of events with laps. I didn’t realised this was a lapped event. There is enough distance down the river to do 1 lap. Apart from that enjoyable run and got a PB.

Well-organised friendly event

Very pleasant event - friendly management, superb marshals and I love the podium at the finish line - even if I never got to stand on it.

Well organised and a nice route

The little loop at the end was a bit weird! Would still run again
