Great event within the local community

Great for my kids to be able to run the 2km mini Martians race and then wave me off on the adult race. Such a great idea. Flat fast course through all different types of terrain. Good for beginners or for a PB

Loved the course, very varied but not too tricky underfoot. Lots of stewards and a very friendly environment and child friendly. Queues for coffee and toilets were quite long so more facilities would be great

Some of the danger spots could do with white marking ie the water feature, the bridges some of the wooden slats were up. There was a couple of places that could have done with the marshall paying a little more attention towards the end because when you are tired sometime it could do with the marhshall shouting this way.

Fantastic trail route that was brilliantly marshalled and marked. Really super atmosphere

My daughter and me are semi-regular park runners, this was our first Martian Race.

It was an absolutely brilliant experience. Really well organised, lots of facilities and a really beautiful course over the common and through the woods, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

My daughter said in the car on the way home (oh, car parking, also brilliant, thank you McLaren!) I think this could be the start of a tradition!

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you at next years event!

Highly recommend joining in! It caters for all runners whatever the pace. The atmosphere in the village is really positive, several stands for refreshments. The Lions also invite runners to donate an item for the local Food Bank. The marshals are wonderfully positive from guiding us through the car park to encouraging every runner when the races are on. The organisation has improved year after year; it is now perfect! Merci beaucoup!

Very well organised , huge number of Marshalls and volunteers to ensure you have a wonderful experience. Something for all the family

A beautiful course, fantastic marshalls, well sign-posted and brilliant organisation and so inclusive too - well done!

Great event. Well organised. My only suggestion would be to have water in the race village prior to the event starting - some of the children doing the kids race would have benefited from having a drink before running.

A staggered start for the 10k (most popular event?) based on expected finish time would be better imo, as there was far too much bunching and crowding for the first few k, and was not helped when runners entered the woods for the 1st time and on an almost single width track. My time was really slow until we reached 4k with no real spreading out until Heather Farm.

Loved the variety of terrain. Marshalls were amazing. Very well organized and directed. Thank you
