There are still a few places left in our Barclays kids 1km fun run but we are almost full in both races. Sign up here https://bit.ly/2r64Mmf

Don't forget this spectacular view to your right as you pass the 5k point (you can't miss it).
We're not sure if it is route, the medal or the venue that makes this race so popular.
Just the final few places remain. https://bit.ly/2r64Mmf

Don't forget our amazing Barclays Kids 1km Fun Run. Every penny raised will go to the fantastic charity Retrak. They are a locally based charity who aim to help children around the world in poverty and living on the streets.
There is also an opportunity to raise even more needed funds for the charity with sponsorship money. We will email sponsorship forms and links to all of the fun runners within race instructions later this week. More details and entry here https://bit.ly/2r64Mmf

Well organised. Grateful for the extra minute or two delayed start to allow huge queue for the loos to go down..

Lovely route. Friendly Marshalls. Great medal. I've already signed up for next year. I do agree that pre-filled goodie bag with medal would have saved congestion at the finish. Well done to everyone involved in organising this race.

Well organised, great 10k

Loved this race. Well organised, great marshalling, beautiful views (loved the telescope), excellent route. 10 out of 10.

Loved the venue and medal. Great route with friendly marshals. Hope to be back next year.

Loved it. Plenty of parking, bacon butty van and the course is great (albeit a little... Undulating!) good day.

Great route. Looking forward to running it again next year.

Great race, I haven’t ran it myself but loved watching, the kids had a great time and all the people that I know that did run it really enjoyed it. Hopefully will be running it this year �

Great race for both 10k & 2k. Fantastic medals ��and very impressed all the proceeds from the 2k fun run went to charity. A well organised race and the marshals were cracking. Highly recommend ���

Great race and route is stunning. Medal is awesome and great support all around course. Thank you to all the marshalls and volenteers.

Great event - other than finish line chaos resulting from the goodies not being in the goody bag. Admittedly putting a medal, flapjack and bottle of water in a bag is a boring job - but not doing it in advance created a lot of unnecessary congestion & stress for volunteers on the finish line. I guess it did mean I got to choose the flapjack flavour & it was yummy.

Great course, very scenic, we wasted loads of time admiring the luxury houses close by. Well organised, very friendly. A big thank you to the marshalls on course and behind the scenes volunteers.

Great course with an amazing location for family to enjoy while racing. Kids loved fun run too. Will add to calendar each year!

Great course well organised x

Great course and beautiful surroundings. Looking forward to next year! Will certainly be a regular one for me

Excellent! Lovely venue, well marshalled and organised. Lovely traffic-free route. Congrats!

Excellent location

Brilliantly organised

Chip timing results were instant after going over finish line

Stewards and volunteers were amazing

10/10 Everything about this event is absolutely fantastic!

**Many, many more things



Will definitely be back next year

Lovely course, maybe look at separate queues for mens & womens portaloos with more for women.

Definitely need the items put in a bag at finish & given out towards the hall. Finishing exhausted & then stood in a large crowd for several minutes isn't fun or great

Great course! The route is gradually downhill for the first 7k, then it's the climb back up for the final 3k. Wish someone would have warned me about those hills! The medal is brilliant!



Only hiccups being far too few toilets and the congestion at the end of the race due to goody bags being empty and having to individually be given an item at a time!



Overall a very enjoyable event :)
