Loved it, will definitely be back for the reasons above.
I'm very pleased I read about in the walk to the start in the pre-event email. It is a fair walk so make sure you're parked and have your race number with at least 30 minutes to spare for the 15/20 in walk to and from the start/finish.

This was my first Rayleigh 10k not surprising I was last male totally happy but knackered the walk back was far to long. Only on that probably would nor enter again would be a bitch in the rain

Enjoyed the course and I thank the volunteers. But why is the registration so far from the start. I was told it was all very clearly signposted, if a miscellaneous arrow in a village can count as signed (no actual words) heard many people didn't go to the correct place at the start. Couldn't hear the announcements at the beginning. As for "organise yourself into where you think you might place" is ridiculous. Granted the weather in the build up didn't help. But walking pace gridlocked through single narrow paths doesn't work. Perhaps wave release would have helped. At least I thought I might appear in a few photos.....no.... photographer ignored me at the start preferring to take pictures of large groups either side of me....erm...hello...I'm here. I thought that's ok, I'll be in some of the pictures along the route or as a minimum on the finish line......nope, that didn't happen either. I'm not sure how or why people are saying this is a great event.

Great marshals, and a friendly atmosphere.
Certainly not a PB course, but great scenery and very enjoyable

The marshal at the finish let me sit down and catch my breath before taking the race chip off. Great marshals. Thank you.

Fully enjoyed myself was well organised fully recommended!

Bit of a walk from the parking/registration, but such a lovely route. Route even nicer than the old one. Very well marshalled. Thank you.

This was definitely the more enjoyable run that I have done. Much better than road running. I might be back next year.

I finished last and it took me about 1hr 40 to complete. I really struggled and had to walk the last few kms. All of the marshals were super supportive and encouraging right upto and across the finishing line.

Would be good to have food/refreshment van on site especially for those waiting for runners. Other than that Brilliant x

My first full off-road 10k. Loved the scenery in the fields, and picking your run path through the boggy woods. A real test with the hills as well! It’s a well organised friendly event, not as big as others I’ve recently done so no village fete or anything going on around it.

It was muddy, hilly and painful. What more could you want. Well organised again and great to have a local event on the running calendar. Marshals did a great job and were super friendly as were the participants. When's next year's.
