Low key in a good way

This was my first organised event, so hard to compare, but I enjoyed it a lot.

A bit hilly but has to be expected in Richmond Park

I missed out on a finishers t-shirt - didn't notice them being given out when I finished - had they all gone by the time I finshed in 5:09?

Couldn't be bettered. Warm, friendly atmosphere and a wonderfully organised event.

I wish all races could be done like this one.
Perfect - don't change anything.

Undulating friendly marathon

Great atmosphere!

Definitely beginner friendly - was my first ever Marathon when I did it in 2018! In an ideal world there would be one more portaloo (maybe there are never enough!) and the results posted on-line sooner. Cheers! B
PS How about a sign up on the portaloos saying "For competitor use only untill race start time"? That would reduce the line a bit.

just disappointed I didn't make it for the second year running!!

Just to say I had to cancel as I was admitted to hospital. I love the park, the directors etc. etc. and, in spite of the disappointment, I'm not ruling out another walking marathon!!

Excellent Marathon

It's a lovely scenic marathon that's well organised and well supported. You can't beat Richmond Park for running around.

Awesome

This was a thoroughly enjoyable event in which there was so much encouragement from the organisers and volunteers. Currently coming back from injury, having poor joints and trying to work out my boundaries I did not feel pressured and could enjoy the event, which you do not always get when attending events. I will definitely return next year and hopefully be back running well.

Didn't realise there was a finishers t-shirt until I got home and saw a picture of one on Facebook!

Nice small scale event

Helpers were excellent and friendly but on occasions lacked a bit of direction
