Outstanding arrangement done by all the organisers. My kids enjoyed running. Weather was nice and the running track was scenic and natural.

Friendly, well organised and enjoyable.
Tom Wilkinson
Fun race in lovely scenery that is great for all comers
I can highly recommend listening to Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds while doing the 10k
Mark Marshall
Excellent local event
Robert Cornwell
Great off-road charity event!
McLaren Centre parking was great. This was my first Martian 10k race and I was very impressed by the organisation and friendliness of the marshals. Off-road and traffic free events are my preference. Most of the route was wide enough to overtake but some of the paths towards the finish were very narrow and twisty with more than a fair share of tree roots. I thought this made the course more hazardous than it should have been. However, overall a very enjoyable race in spite of my reservations.

Family friendly fun!
andy maginis
Very good
Far more toilets needed. Maybe have a men’s urinal block?
Emily Saunders
Amazing race course!
Had so much fun and what an absolute privilege to run through such beautiful grounds! Really great race and I look forward to next year.

Only disappointment was I paid for a small t shirt and the smallest you had was medium which for an 8st woman is way too large.
Elly Flemington

Lovely family event
Well marshalled, friendly and helpful volunteers.
Beautiful setting, the different routes for the races were clear, and varied in terrain which added to the interest. Thank you.

Very good local trail and very well organised
Louise Mor
Great race
The heat does get bad this time of year. Particularly as runners are so local, it would be good to start earlier (esp the 21k and 10k).
Clare Tutt
Well organised, friendly & fun!
Well organised number collection & bag drop.
Loved the marshals encouragement and the chap announcing our names out as we approached the finish line, a nice touch!
More time for the 10k warm up & extra loo's needed.

Just gets better and better
I’ve run this race a few times and each year it gets better. 2024 was the best yet. Great organisation from beginning to end. Easy parking, plenty of toilets (although you can never have too many), good PA, clearly marked course and lots of marshalls to ensure runners stayed on track.
It’s never going to be a fast course and it has loads of twists and turns, plus some gnarly roots to contend with, but it’s varied and fun, with a great atmosphere.
Thank you Martian Race.

A really good local Woking run event.
Well done all those involved.
