Great race as always

Thanks for having apples, I have loads of allergies so can't eat from your amazing feed station, so fruit is always a welcome snack

Nice relaxed race, but quite expensive for a run along a canal towpath

Cracking event

Absolutely fabulous event, very well organised, friendly and helpful Marshalls, and great drinks and snacks at the end. Well done everyone for another amazing event.

A welcoming event with lovely canal views

Friendly staff, very easy to book and manage things online.
It wasn't clear that toilets are in the cafe over the road and not at the exact start/finish line which is more challenging to access quickly, particularly for those running longer distances.
Lots of snacks available, however for those doing longer distances still best to bring your own as marshall station options get more limited as the day goes on.
A lovely medal and snacks await at the end.

Awesome

I would recommend not just this event but any event hosted by the Grim Up North team , they are very supportive and non judgmental and will support and help you every step of the way on your journey regardless of ability , the medals are always amazing and the cakes make it all worth while

Friendly and welcoming

My first race event since 1973! Everyone was approachable and so friendly. Registration was easy, lots of clear information from the Marshalls. The cakes at the finish were very welcome. Thoroughly enjoyed the event and I even set a PB.

Spooky fun

My only suggestion is a clearer indication of where the registration/bin pickup point is. I could not find this on the website.

Absolutely phenomenal event as always

Grim up north runs are the best events to participate in, wether your pushing for a PB or running with friends, or taking part in your first ever race, everyone is welcoming, helpful, encouraging and supportive.
The medal is always superb, the cake & sweets at the end are beaut!
The events are very well organised and run so smoothly & the communication from the organisers is brilliant.

Very supportive and accommodating

We were thankful to be a part of this race as our original marathon had been abruptly cancelled with very short notice. It is very well organised and has a wonderful supportive team. We’re not from the area - everyone including the participants were warm and friendly. Would definitely attend another one of their runs and highly recommend. One small criticism is the medal does not state the achieved distance- but it is a fabulous medal

Thank you for taking the time in reviewing this event, We totally understand the feedback on the distances on medals however putting exact distance on ribbons when you don’t know how many people will do each distance does introduce unnecessary wastage. Well done for taking part in yesterdays event and look forward to seeing you again.

First organised event

Signed up for GNR next year without having ran in 20 years, found this and signed up for 5k as a step towards that, great first running medal and event! Got 10k on 13th December to train for now!

Great run with great people!

It was difficult to find the registration place, maybe some signs on the road would have been helpful but otherwise it was a brilliant event, thank you.
