Amazingly well organised. All ran like clockwork.

Very very hot day.

Super run

Sad not to have finished due to trip on tree roots and bang to head….but a million thanks to the Marshalls and especially the medic for kind caring

Beautiful run, beautifully run

This is an all-terrain run through beautiful heathland, meadow and wetlands. Some parts were quite challenging but the marshalls were wonderful and very encouraging. It was fiercely hot today so an extra water station might have been nice but no complaints about what there was. Thank you Woking Lions for a great day out :)

An excellent event. Very enjoyable.

Maybe it could start earlier to help with the heat. But that’s a very small point.

Excellent run with only disappointment being, we didn't see any martians!

Great organisation, excellent route and the marshalls were all really encouraging. Thank you!

I smiled the whole way round!

The atmosphere was the best I’ve ever experienced! All the Marshalls were so encouraging and smiling, the route was clearly signposted and everyone generally felt like they were in this together as a community. Loved it!

Fantastic from start to finish.

I understand that the parking has changed and this year more runners could drive to the venue. However, I feel that the mini-buses could still be an asset even if we had to pay for the trip.
The idea to help the Food Bank was great, but their stand should be better positioned next time as this year they were hidden by the coffee van. May be they should be next to the bag drop tent?
Well done to all involved in the organisation and the marshalling. Thank you for a great run.

Well organised & lovely location

Brilliant that McLaren allowed parking and mowed areas. A big thanks to them. Wonderful friendly volunteers and a great atmosphere. Just a bit hot!!!

Ever changing terrain!

Lovely route, over heathland, sandy beach, through woods, shady trails and sunny stretches.

Great course, well signposted and lovely atmosphere

Markers at each km would be a plus. My runkeeper app, usually pretty accurate says the course was 10.6km.

A great run and the medals are absolute works of art!

It was a very hot day thisbyear, so make sure you bring lots of water and wear "cooling" clothes.

It was fairly good

Very enjoyable until roughly a mile from the end (I was in the 10k) there was no arrow or Marshall at a T junction, sadly I took the wrong turn at that point as I noticed others behind me did the same. I can only guess an arrow fell down? So my results and others around me will not be accurate?
Otherwise a very enjoyable morning
