Ran 20 miles in prep for my first marathon. I really enjoyed it. Weather changeable and in a couple of exposed areas my gloves were a godsend. Got a little confusing when course adjustment due to storm Dave affected some distances. I was new to bring your own cup and would have liked stations to pour water for you rather than do-it-yourself but this may be the norm. Shout out to friendly/animated 5/15 mile turnaround marshal gave me a boost. Good facilities in Cricket club - toilets, cake and drinks - bar open for the after run celebration!

Really great event, nice and flat, beautiful scenery.

All the pics are now up and as i said, 20 miles run with not one photo taken of me. Bit disappointing. Also the 20 mile course was actually 33km which was fine but not if you're looking for accurate times.

Route was beautiful but too narrow for everyone being set off, even at different times due to the laps required as ultra runners we found ourselves stuck at the turning points.

Entered the 10k. Ended up running 10.41km. This seems a fundamental part of the race.

Longest ever distance
Lovely to have parking onsite
Great grim team
Proper toilet facilities
Friendly Marshalls
Lots of encouragement
Love it

Really enjoyed the day. Had all the seasons weather wise but it didn't hamper it. Really friendly and would recommend.

Only silly gripe..... Ran 20 miles and the photographer didn't take one pic of me. Bit of a shame but hey ho.

Weather was windy, sunny and wet changing every 5 minutes but that did not stop the enjoyment. Course was over the 10k distance but worth the entry.

Was expecting water stations every 3 miles. Saw only one. Also no mile markers.

Enjoyed the run well organised. Friendly runners telling you to keep going when you pass each other. Definitely did not enjoy the extra 1.4k on the marathon but I believe that was due to a slight alteration to the route due to fallen trees, so instead of 2 half marathon loops we had to do 2x10mile and a 10k. Last minute adaption and not the organisers fault. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

I am not a fast runner and was allowed to start 30 minutes before my start time which helped me feel more included as the faster runners overtook me. Everyone is supportive and the cakes/biscuits/drinks keep you going. I have taken part in a few of these runs now and will continue to do so as they are so friendly and well organised with a big medal (always a bonus).

Really well organised event with the loveliest marshals (thank you to the lady at the 10 mile mark who chatted to me about marathons!) This was the longest run in my training block for Manchester Marathon and it was a pleasure to be able to do it so well supported with encouragement from other runners. Thank you!

Thanks for a fabulous morning

I've done a few Grim runs on the last 2-3 years and always enjoyed them, able to run at my own pace and given encouragement from other runners too, feed/drink stations every 3 miles and the cake / goodies at the end is always appreciated
Love the unique medals and getting quite a collection now!

The start was prompt, the marshals were great, there was a great selection of cake, etc at the end and the medal is very good!

From Organisers to marshalls, everyone was so supportive and encouraging. A very friendly and welcoming atmosphere.......oh and the medals and goodies were just awesome. A muckle Thank You Guys and Girls.
