Great run lots of fun great morning out tuff route in the heat plenty of water. Sporting event are fantastic i didn’t get my time come up but within seconds of asking it was there thank uou sporting events

More running and sport oriented stands in the events village… coffee and cake is good buy what about stuff people would buy… i.e. bib magnets, sweat bands and stuff like that

This is a challenging route, very undulating but the marshals did a fantastic job keeping us motivated, and cheering us on. Great organisation from start to finish

Well organised and suitable for beginners, as there are lots of marshalls helping with oncoming cars on the run, and plenty of food and water.

Parking easy on site. Good, clean facilities and friendly staff and volunteers

Nice atmosphere, well organised, lovely, well designed medal and quick feedback regarding your time. Nice cake stall and coffee stall, reasonably priced too.
Plenty of parking.

Sporting events are head and shoulders above any other race organisers

Outstanding organisation and management. Clear instructions given and friendly marshals.

Simple route, great marshaling, good atmosphere and lovely scenery. Route is exposed and can be warm, but worth the effort! Will return

The Cliffe woods 5 miler is a very good event. Local country roads, a bit narrow for first mile then opens up.
It's not flat.
I have a problem with Sporting events:
They stop results at 60+.
Why?
65, 70, 75, 80+ come on its 2026, we all count, we all train hard.

My only down point is that the roads aren’t closed. A large portion of wave 3 got held up waiting for a tractor to turn in the road and had to stop for multiple cars in narrow country lanes. I was hoping for a PB but both of these factors meant I didn’t make it. And whilst I know this is completely out of your control, the race experience wasn’t as good as it could have been due to this.

Perfect all round. Organised brilliantly.

Well marshalled and organised

Please have more rubbish bags for plastic cups. People were chucking them in bushes. Better to have a large open container/bin where cups can be thrown into easily on route.

I was sad to see some runners not respecting the environment, throwing their water cups on the ground, maybe good to remind people before the race to keep hold of litter (not that you should have to!). Thoroughly enjoyed this event - thank you!

Very nice course.

Accurate mile markers. Another warm one with little no shade. Hydration is paramount at a excellent event

I was pushing so hard, that I didn’t even notice the entrance to Cooling Castle. Could we do the loop in an anti-clockwise direction one year?
