                                    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..!

                                    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.

                                    A wonderful mid week event
Kind course. Well marshalled. Superbly organised.

                                    Always amazing
I have been doing this series for at least 17 years from when my daughter was a baby... And this year, after years of cheerleading, she is racing with me. You can't beat the scenery but organisation is always spot on. Love it!

                                    I’ll be back!
 Glen Krarup
                                                                                Glen Krarup
                                    Great fun atmosphere
Just like the little extras, podium with thought bubbles, ice cream van, feels like a family event
 Steve Tanner
                                                                                Steve Tanner
                                    Another great race well organised as usual by Ellie
Registration was very flexible. I had signed up for the 10K and not the 5k by mistake, but they were happy to change my entry on the day.

                                                                                Barry  Gilbert 
                                    It’s always nice to do a midweek Race and this Series fits the bill nicely
After each Series, I keep saying to myself this will probably be the last time but I keep coming back for more .   I wonder why that is ? 
Would like to see the return of free beer after finishing though .  Any chance for next year ?
 Julie Ricau
                                                                                Julie Ricau
                                    Very nice timing for a family week run
It would be lovely to have the possibility to eat something after the race as a family. Maybe a pizza or fish and chips van or something to make an evening out of it

                                                                                Catherine Jones
                                    Great route, well organised and lovely location!
Massive thank you to the volunteers, the event was really smooth and the course was lovely!
It would be great if future events could move away from plastic cups and encourage people to bring their own water or refillable container.
 
                                                                                 
                                    Perfect for beginners or slower paced 5k runners
The marshals are so supportive, I was accompanied by Marie on one run. She gave great advise, encouraged and got me round on a super hot day. Im a slow runner so its great you don't feel last at any point. Very well organised events.

                                                                                Jackie Wilson
                                    Lovely summer evening for runners
Excellent event, lovely fun atmosphere, beautiful setting, can’t fault the organisation.

                                    Safe and well organised
The kids were safe which is the number one priority for me. It was well organised and started on time. Fantastic running event for children.

                                    A great event
It is hard to hear the announcements.
Dissapointed that the medals don't interlock this year. 
What about different meals for the kids and adults.

                                    Brilliantly organised - fabulous route, fabulous evening!

Love it.
