- I
thought is was a great race as well, poshest
portaloos I've ever been in. Only problem
was that on that hill at the end I couldn't
work out where the finish line was as it was
tucked round the corner. Marshalls were great.
Hopefully this will become a regular race
- I
thought it was great really, and deserves
to attract more attention next year. The course
was fine although the "cross-country"
section made me feel a bit tired! As I was
in second place for more than half the race
and not able to see the leader (Mike is far
too fast for me!) it was wonderful to have
marshalls at every single junction. I wouldn't
say it was a PB course particularly because
of the down/up split, but definitely an enjoyable
one on some very quiet roads.
In

Another thumbs-up from another satisfied customer.
Great for all abilities, I ran it with my wife
as her second ever 10k and she had the same
smile I did at the end.
Well done and a big thank you to everyone involved.

This is the best race I have run.
In full:
Wonderful organisation, easy parking, fantastic
atmosphere, PB potential and a good mix of runners.
A few other races would do well to look at what
the organisers of this race have done. Every
effort was made to make the whole experience
very personnel and easy.

Very well organised for 1st race event.
In full:
This was my first ever race and nervous to say
the least! Coupled with it, it was their first
race event I was wondering what is going to
happen.
To
say that in my opinion it was very well organised
and well supported and friendly is an understatement.
Everyone from the organisers, marshalls and
the runners made me feel very relaxed.
The two people I ran with for most of the race
were very supportive.
Overall,
it was a great place to run.
In
short:A
superb small race
In full:
Well organised and very friendly all round.
The organisers e-mailed you and let you knew
what was happening (even a long-term weather
forecast!).
Only a small point, and very minor as it was
only 160 runners, the finish was narrow and
the finishers had to get out the same way as
the stragglers coming in, making it difficult
for the photographer and maybe a bit awkward.
But that, in no way spoilt anything about the
race. I will be back next year.
In
short:
Very friendly, well marshalled, brill goodie
bag!!
In full:
The atmosphere was very friendly on this race
from beginning to end. All marshalls were supportive
and it was a well marshalled course. I got my
first sub 44 and was second lady, my sister
was first so a very good day all round. Would
definately do it again next year if it's run
again. Thanks to all the volunteers from both
me and my sister.

A really friendly atmosphere. It seemed like
absolutely everyone was smiling and this makes
a difference when you're running.
It was a very well organised race with a well
thought out goody bag which was great value.
A nice touch was to have our names on our running
numbers so the supporters could shout encouragement
by name, ahich gave me ann extra lift.
I
really enjoyed this race.
A
really big thanks go to the organisers and all
the volunteers.

No need to make any allowances for the first-time
running of this event: it was excellent by any
standards. I spent half the race out of sight
of the leader but there were marshalls (very
encouraging thank you!) everywhere you needed
them. I enjoyed the course - and some nice touches
including a thoughtful goody bag and prize.
Many thanks and hope to see you again for the
second event next year!
In
short:
great debut race for High Legh.
Emails.
I
just wanted to say thank you for a lovely 10k
race today. I had a really great time. It was
great that the race started bang on time, and
the route was clearly marked. The marshalls
were all helpful and upbeat, the goody bag was
very nice - I shall treasure the mug! - and
the route was smashing. I was pleased that the
markers were accurately placed, according to
my GPS.
The best news of all for me - I got a PB!
I hope that next year you will be able to contact
this year's runners to invite us to run again.
Thanks for all the effort which went into organising
it - it really is appreciated.
