Excellent friendly event! T-shirt didn't arrive before the event, but picked up on the day.

Superb Event

The charges for parking were unclear. Some paid, some didn't. Some said if you arrived after 6 you didn't need to pay.

Organiser comment:

Hi Robert, sorry for the confusion. the race pack states that all parking in the Forest Centre for the race is free after 5pm. We will make it clearer next year. Thanks for running

Great race, suitable for all and lovely scenery

My only question/criticism was that there were three timing mats at the finish, but it was not clear which was the actual finish line

Organiser comment:

Hi Richard, so please you enjoyed the race and venue. Thanks for the comment. The additional 2 timing mats allow the timing team to have a little early visibility of the runners as they finish. The actual finish should have been made clear with the banners and sail flags. Hope to see you next year

The Marston Forest 5K does not disappoint in any aspect of a running race event.

This is a must do 5K especially if you are looking for a PB or if like me you enjoy running in a very scenic, welcoming and encouraging environment.

Always a lovely friendly vibe

Don’t let ATW take over and ruin the event
Shame about the medal - you always do great medals - felt this one was the same as last yr
Makes it feel more ATW like!

Lovely atmosphere, beautiful setting.

Excellent event. My only point is on the timings, I'd like to know my position within my age group if possible but it's only a minor thing. Well done!
