Good fun for all
Edward Watts
The fun run is a lovely event for young runners.
Can’t wait for next year!
Graham Stacey
Really enjoyed the race - why hadn’t I entered this one before?!
2nd time I have done all 4 runs - I will back next year
Alan Collard
I love it - I join for all 4 races every year - but occasionally I have to cancel one or two due to injury or other commitments
I wouldn't miss it

Great race let down by lack of facilities aka toilets
Fantastic place to run, great atmosphere and great scenery but having to use cafe toilets for a race with 200 plus runners isn't great, especially as the cafe isn't close to the race start. The men's toilet had 2 urinals and 2 cubicles, and the women were queuing round the block to use them. Maybe get
some portaloos for next season
There are two sets of male and female toilets at the cafe - both were open last night - there is just a door connecting them…. Not sure if these got missed?? I appreciate the distance isn’t ideal…..

Amazing kids race with fabulous Marshalls!
Felicity Johnson
First ever 5k
This was my first 5k race and It was so good. Everyone was friendly and made me feel welcome. It was the best coming over the finish line and getting my medal. Wish I did all 4 now.
Welcoming and supportive kids race
My 6 year old completed all 4 series and has really enjoyed the experience of running with a chip and medals.
The team made all the children feel special with marshals clapping along the route and calling their names at the end. My son is not a fast runner but really loved it. Great atmosphere and first race for kids. We stayed to watch his dad run - another well organised event.
Thank you for organising the event!
Aimie Cheetham
Fantastic Event!
Thank you to everyone involved in putting this event on. It was so well organised and everybody was lovely!
Summertime Series
Great Series and will be back. My problem this year was that I signed for the Series and could only do the first one due to injury. So £90 for just one event was a bit of a shocker. I'll do PAYG next year ;)
Sorry to hear that - the “joy” of being a runner. Hope you’re back running consistently pain free now.
Miriam Stallard
Amazing
Excellent event. Volunteers were amazing. Great evening finished off with ice cream. Even the opportunity for a pizza and a cold beverage. Great medal and so well organised.
Lauren Futcher
Had the best time at the Barnes Summer series! 100% recommendation!
Great series with a positive vibe and beautiful scenery
The organisation and attention to detail are impressive. The series of four races combines a genuine trail challenge for faster runners with supportive upbeat encouragement to the less experienced; the overall message is ‘this is fun and we should all be proud of ourselves’. Do join us for Race 4 - and next year!
Richard Hatton
Very enjoyable and well organised series!
Pete Rogers
Again brilliant ... as always
Thanks Ellie, Ian and the team. Superb event, once again, from start to finish. Keep it going
Julia Warren
Safe and well organised
The event for kids is fantastic. It’s well organised. Communication is clear. The route safe with marshals along the 2k route providing peace of mind. Love that there is a medal and that it’s a chipped event.
Jo Jones
Love it..!
I have ran numerous races over the years with Barnes Fitness..
Always brilliantly organised with lots of pre and post race info…Ellie and her team work hard to ensure all races are well supported, safe and most importantly fun..!
Andy Harvey
Already can’t wait for next year’s series.
Such a well organised event with an amazing atmosphere from start to finish. I love how Ellie always gives a shout out to every runner as they cross the halfway line and the finish line. It gives it a real personal touch.
