Excellent as always. Not sure about the results page as I am not on it. Roy B.

Amazingly supported as always! Great scenery as well. Adam W.

A great day and an amazing job — Zig Zag as always. Phillip M.

Brilliant first marathon — had a great time completing my first marathon with Zig Zag Running and will definitely do more of their events. The race director was brilliant and all the marshals were friendly and helpful. Cake at the end was a lovely touch. Adam U.

Great first marathon venue — more water stations in the hot weather would help, as I was struggling towards the end without any water left. Jonathan W.

It was a really good race. Annamária K.

A lovely morning’s running — great marshals. Lee-anne B.

Another great event with Zig Zag Running, with the bonus of cake and an Easter egg at the end. Missed the atmosphere over the past few weeks, but they’re back! Scott C.

Excellent event. Paul F.

Fantastic event — great race and organisation as always. Definitely recommend a Zig Zag race. Kevin S.

Absolutely loved it. Loved that Steve drove round giving encouragement. Change nothing — it’s perfect as it is. Emma G.

Flat and scenic 5K with great views and atmosphere. Teresa E.

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
