Hannah Tuffnell
Fabulous half marathon
A well organised event with lots of friendly people. Really liked how flat the route was as I was able to push for a PB! Thanks to all, I’ll be back!
Ned Maddocks
Great first marathon
As a first marathon it was a nice flat time. only downside it was a little boring with how little amounts of runners are around and the boredom of the canal. But great run for anybody
Jessica Hartley
Well organised and friendly bunch
Well organised event with friendly marshal's and plenty of delicious post race snacks. More people should sign up for next year!
Paul Tranter
Lovely 5k route along the historic Leeds and Liverpool Canal
Not quite as quick as I thought it would be, that is probably because of the hills at Three and Five Rise Locks, but a great out and back 'sprint'.
Brian Cumpsty
Well organised event with plenty of distance options on the day
Anne Kavanagh

Curtis Lodge
Excellent 10k run on the mostly flat canal path. Wasn't too crowded and staff were all very friendly. Good atmosphere! Prepare yourself for the five rise locks.....
Oh the 5 rise locks are a great challenge, almost vertical. Thanks for your review.
Wayne Richards
Another superb IGUN event , the friendliest most stress free running events around . If you haven't done one yet you don't know what you're missing !
Thank you so much for your kind review. Indeed they don't know what they're missing :-)
Sue Barnes
A lovely, well-organised and fun, festive event
My first IGUN event ! Loved it. Very friendly, great information pre-event, lovely atomsphere.
Thank you for taking the time to review and thank you for choosing GRIM for your 1st event. See you again.
James Brown
Very well organised and great event.
Would have liked the water to be poured in cups at the water stations to aid runners times. But, I am not sure if there is a reason for not doing this.
Hi, thanks for taking the time to review. with regards to the water, we reccommend that runners bring their own cups, but point taken there is no harm in having some water ready. Have a lovely Christmas.
Dawn Sketchley
Super Christmas event. Great treats to reward finishers. Thank you
Thanks for your review. So glad you enjoyed it along with the post race treats.
TRACY BALMER
Great run, very well organised - thank you
Thank you and thanks for your lovely review :-)
Maria Britton
Well organised, generous and super friendly!!
Lovely setting. Good facilities. Small walk but they had somewhere to stick your jacket at the startline so nobody was cold. As always the medals are head and shoulders above all other medals i have had in terms of quality and motive and the spread was spectacular! Wonderful atmosphere! A decent crowd of the warmest and jolliest people you will meet! If you are new to this group you will feel at home instantly. There is always a smile and a good word for everyone.
Cant wait for the next event!
Thanks Maria, for your amazing review. See you again soon, have a lovely Christmas.
Donna Tindall
Low key high inclusivity. The races for All
Love IGUN events. Great atmosphere, fair prices, doable.
Thank you for taking the time to review and your lovely words. See you again soon.
Donna Wilson
Amazing race, location and so friendly
Definitely recommend this!
Thank you so much Donna, for taking the time to review and your reccommendation. Have a lovely Christmas.
Lisa Pearce
Terrific course .....need to dig deep at 3km
A portable loo at the start and finish depending on cost would be only thing that I'd change
Hi, thanks for your review. Yes the 5 rise locks are a challenge at 3k. We've had portaloos at the start before, unfortunately, we can't just hire one and the costs have spiralled.
Paul Senior
Great event, particularly for novices, plenty of camaraderie
Would have loved to have seen merchandise for sale as im sure there would have been plenty of sales whilst people are in the moment.
Thanks for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed the event. The merch has pretty much been sold out over the last couple of months. We are looking at a new range for next spring. Keep an eye on our social media.
Dawn Figg
Fun, scenic run with the added challenge of the 5 rise locks
The times for the 5k are incorrect, possibly due to it starting late. Gun times and chip times are showing as the same and about 9 minutes more than actual time
Thanks for taking the time to review and thank you for your kind works. The timer is looking at the times and hopefully the issue should be resolved today.
