I ran with my brother in the wheelchair, it was a fabulous event as always from ATW, and my brother loved every minute of it! Being allowed to set off slightly early meant we avoided masses of people (important when the chair is quite long!). Everyone was so helpful and supportive the whole way round. My brother also used St Elizabeth's hospice so it was lovely to see a charity we love being supported. We will definitely be back! Lizzie S

Another great day, always organised and super friendly, great support and only race where the super quick runners are quick to encourage us slower runners , brilliant t shirt and medal. Tracey G

First time at this race and I’ll definitely be returning! A great start to the season :) Ella B

Have taken part in this race 2 years now. Always so well organised with efficient staff throughout! The Marshall's are so enthusiastic & the introduction of the Music Through The Decades made it !! Love the start & finish venue, so easy to get to & the race medal & goodies are 1st class! It's well worth my journey from Devon each year!! See u in 2025!! Linda D

First time taking part and my first 10k race, was very well organised a fab morning 😊 Lorraine B

First time running this course and I will definitely be back next year. What an amazing atmosphere and the encouragement along the way is brilliant. I run alone and attend by myself also so this is just what I need on a race day. Excellent organising, well done. Emma M

Brilliant atmosphere, plenty of encouragement. Flat course was good and I loved every minute of it. It was a really nice feeling to have my name read out as I came over the finish line.looking forward to doing the half marathon next year! Jon P
