Brilliant race. One of the best I have known. Very professionally organised and smooth operation throughout. Registration, bag drop, started on time, very well marshalled, excellent finish and medal - everything was 100% awesome. An example for others to

Brilliant course to run a 10k

From start to finish was excellent, registration was quick, toilet facilities great. Start was a bit delayed (freezing cold!!) And we were in the middle of the pack but couldn't hear a word that was said!! Marshals were all fantastic and cheered everyone on.

Thank you for the feedback and for sharing your experience. We’re really pleased you enjoyed the course and found the overall event excellent from registration through to the finish, and the marshals will be delighted to hear your kind words about their support on the course. Thank you as well for the honest comments about the start. We appreciate that waiting in cold conditions isn’t ideal, and the feedback about audibility in the middle of the pack is a fair point. That’s something we’ll look to improve going forward to make sure key announcements reach everyone clearly.

A very good start for what will hopefully become an annual event.

A chemical loo at the halfway point!

We’re really pleased you felt it was a strong start and one that could grow into an annual event, that’s exactly what we’re aiming to build.

Thank you for the feedback. We’re really pleased you enjoyed the flat course and found it a good choice for a first 10km.

Fun from the Farm with the best bling!

Great first event. . .good vibe throughout. Just a little tip for when Marshalls say 'keep to the side' should mention left or right. Guy ringing the bell was a pleasant surprise and ♥️ the tractors!

Thank you for the great feedback and for bringing such a positive vibe to your review. We’re really pleased you enjoyed the event, especially the atmosphere and the medal, always good to hear the bling landed well. The bell ringer and the tractors definitely added some character, so it’s lovely to see those moments stood out for you. Thank you as well for the practical suggestion about clearer marshal instructions, that’s a really helpful point and something we can easily improve by being more specific with left and right guidance.

Very well organised event.

I was a late entry - I am so glad I took advantage of this local event. Everything ran very smoothly and very friendly Marshalls/organisers. I honestly did not expect an inaugural event to run so well. Great job RTC and land owners!

Good for a first attempt.

Good were parking, number pick up, Marshall’s, course, medal. Not so good we’re confusion as to race briefing, just one waste bin at the start/finish, late start (We were all freezing on the start line…) inaudible PA. Traffic management was OK but if event expands will need improvement.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed and balanced feedback. We’re pleased you enjoyed many aspects of the event, including the parking, registration, course, marshals and the medal, and that you felt it was a good first attempt overall. Those positives are really encouraging for a debut event. We also appreciate your honest comments around the race briefing, audibility of the PA system, waste facilities and the delayed start in cold conditions. Those are fair points and exactly the kind of practical feedback we need to help refine the experience. Traffic management is something we’re very conscious of too, and as you say, would need further strengthening should the event grow in size. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts so openly. Feedback like this genuinely helps shape future editions, and we hope to welcome you back again as the event continues to develop.

Good Run for first timers

Great race and great course!

The route came out at 10.16km rather than 10km. I would definitely do this race again but would suggest the start/finish line moved closer to the road to get this closer to the 10km mark. I sprinted what I thought was the last km but then was let down by the extra added distance sadly which effected my time. Only bad thing I had to say really. Love the course, the marshals were bang on. Everyone was lovely and was a very friendly atmosphere. Thanks for having us. Hopefully you do another local 10km!

Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed and constructive feedback. We’re really pleased you enjoyed the course, atmosphere and organisation, and that the marshals and friendly feel stood out for you, that’s great to hear. Regarding the course distance, we completely understand how frustrating it can feel when you’re pushing hard towards what you expect to be the finish. The start and finish location is positioned as far up the road as we can safely go, based on traffic management, safety planning and permissions. Safety always has to come first, even when it limits flexibility with exact placement. That said, we do take course accuracy seriously and will continue to review measurement and layout options within those safety constraints for future editions. Thank you again for the balanced feedback and kind words. We really appreciate you being part of the Tabor Farms Winter 10km and would love to welcome you back again.

Excellent addition to the local running calendar

Be good to see this as an annual fixture.

With a field of potentially 500 it was quite a busy run, bunched up at times. The experience would be improved if the capacity was reduced to 400 but I understand there may be economic practical considerations involved.

Thank you for the thoughtful and well-balanced feedback. We’re really pleased you felt the event was a strong addition to the local running calendar, that’s exactly the role we hoped it would play. It’s great to hear you’d like to see it become an annual fixture too. Your comments about field size and bunching are fair and well made. Managing numbers is always a balance between runner experience, safety, and the practical realities of delivering an event, especially on mixed terrain. Feedback like this is genuinely useful as we review capacity and flow for future editions. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts and for supporting the Tabor Farms Winter 10km.
