Nice variety of surfaces but awful queue management at finish.
Lovely friendly event. Well signposted and marshalled. The only niggle was at finish we were funelled into same area where Siren were giving out the glasses and beer. This created some confusion and mess. There was nowhere to catch breath as people were standing around. Nobody was clear on where to go. At one point there were about 3 queues, one snaking around and looping past the shelter and 2 shorter queues. No ability to just collect the glass for non-drinkers (yes, perhaps don't run a brewery run but I did).
Another great event by Barnes Fitness
Great run, atmosphere, friendly marshalls, so grateful for the water station, great beer, snacks & atmosphere afterwards, loved the GF van, meant I could eat after the run. Great for first timers, friendly & very helpful marshalls and fantastic organised event
Always a treat to get a medal and a beer (with a glass to match your medal) at the finish line.
Really well organised event, friendly fun and rewarding. The course was safe and well sign posted and plenty of pre - tolilet oppotunties!
Fantastic inaugural race!
Everything was great! The only thing which Ellie did say about was the queuing for the beers after the race. Luckily it wasn’t busy when I got to the taps. But it took my friend 25 mins just to get the drink.
Enjoyable
Ran out of beer! Chaos with finish line and beer. No queueing just a mass of people. Not sure how a brewery which would know run numbers can run out of beer? Run village quite congested at end of with food etc. Needed a bigger area.
This is the first I (The Race Organiser, Ellie - on the microphone) knew that the beer ran out. If only somebody had said something to me I could have EASILY sorted this..... I will be sorting some compensation out for you - watch your Inbox.
A first time event. Just some minor tweaks
My only feedback is the finish and start area is cramped. As you cross the line you are met with a queue for the beer. Possibly bring the finish area forwards to cater for the amount of finishers. The course was ok. I had a minor accident due to the uneven path but that happens.
Amazing race with a beer reward!
Excellently organised event and great atmosphere! Perfect location at the brewery for a refreshing beer afterwards. Thank you Barnes Fitness!
Excellent
Amazingly well organised.
Supportive marshals
Excellent communication
Well sign posted
So fun, what a great event !
Only thing to criticise was the finish. Maybe needed cones to direct people better when waiting for their pint. Also hardly any toilets - wasn’t sure I was going to make it to the start in time and I was waiting 20mins. Overall, great day, the staff directing were great, the course was good!
Noted about start/finish line There were 3 toilets inside and 3 toilets outside + a block of 6 urinals.... Toilet numbers is always an n+ equation!!!
