Great 10K

Great event,only downside was they said photos would be uploaded,but 5 days after the event and sadly no photos to remember the day with.

The photo's were indeed a day or so late, but we got there in the end - I hope you like them. Thank you for your kind review

Didn’t acknowledge walkers, too quick to remove the course signs

We walked the course, but unfortunately the Marshalls were taking the route signs down before we got to them!
This happened early on in the race before we got to the water station.
Very disappointing.

Reviewed using Eventrac, Jun 2025
Organiser comment:

Our Marshals are instructed to take down the signs after our tail runner goes past, which should have been behind you. I am sorry you found it disappointing but thank you for your review.

Lovely route and really well organised

Just noticed that the Medals have no date on them or the ribbon

Than k you for your kind review. We made a decision to not put dates on the meal or ribbon so as to be more sustainable.

Lovely event on my doorstep!

Great route, great marshalls, great medal, great atmosphere! Yes there is a 20mins to/from Clement's Hall but it's straightforward & personally I don't mind it at all. I've run this event a number of times, including when it was put on by Rayleigh Rotary Club, so have experienced different routes, starts, parking & organisers. The RTC team have tweaked the event each year to try & make it an enjoyable experience for all.....including the neighbours. Well done everyone involved.

Another fantastic event. Love the challenging course and mix of flats/uphills and downs. Marshals were fantastic, very encouraging. No problem with walk to start, which was well flagged before.

Excellent and challenging course

As a first timer surprised in distance to start. Clarity on time to walk from Clements Hall needed to ensure prompt start

Hi Mark, thank you for your review. We do send out a final Race day instruction email. This has got all info regarding where registration is and where the start is, we also include a map and distance for how far the two are away from each other. on the day we have signage to point you and guide you in the right direction. I would love to be able to facilitate you parking up at the start, but this it not possible. We are always looking for ways to improve our event and will always see if there are better options. if there are - be rest assured we will implement it.

Friendly atmosphere

All good,apart from the long walk from the parking area to the start and back,weather was good so not as bad as it could have been. All the staff and marshals very good friendly and encouraging many thanks for urging me on

Tough but brilliant course

Really well organised, fantastic Marshalls, lovely medal.
The route was tough, I could see the ambulance flags from about a km away and thought “that’s the end” however I quickly realised that there was a bit more left! Challenging terrain, lots of hills, but such a good route. Will definitely do it again next year!

Great race but start line else where much closer to parking please!

Loved the course and marshals super helpful. Just would have been nice not to walk a couple of miles to the start line. Could this have a start at grove woods or Hockley woods but follow the same ish course? Walking all that way back to Clements hall after a hard 10k was painful…

Thank you so much for your kind review. There is no simple answer to the parking problem we have with so many cars arriving on the day. If there is a fix, we will find it.

Michelle Stokes

Great morning run

More carols be nice. I’m 55 so against ladies who are 20 years younger - only suggestion and would prefer not so much uphill to finish line

6.2miles of scenic countryside, trails, woods and pathways, of which some were quite challenging, but very rewarding once completed

Maybe you could consider some sort of feeder car service from registration to the start as optional and subject to time or allow a few carloads to go up Gusted/back to CH to collect those who opted for this- could ask for a donation to charity?

There was one bit near the start which was single file - not an issue but might be worth saying up front in the comms.

The change to the placing of the bag drop was not an issue at all.

Great marshals and volunteers. The results were out super fast - great if we could search by club too.

Thank you for today’s event

Thank you so much for your kind review. I don't think we can offer a shuttle service. The cost of running these events is high enough as it is, let alone trying to do that on the entrance fee we charge. If there is a commercially viable fix for the journey to and from the start we will find one.

Great course and brilliantly organised.
