One of the nicest events I’ve ever done
Having come from Sheffield by myself, I would definitely book another event with Grim up north running. Everyone was lovely and so welcoming and the selection of food at the end was great and very generous

A great run!
Always enjoy Grim runs, this one was no exception, loved the new medal which appropriately doubles as a bottle opener!
Already recommended it to my running club.

Relaxed Event
I see some of my potential criticisms have already been mentioned. Great route, great medal, good venue with plenty of food and drink supplied post run. I felt a lack of fanfare when I finished my half, but I fully appreciate the Clapham Junction nature of having 5 concurrent events starting, passing and finishing on the same mat, can't be easy to follow. That's my only minor criticism because I love the Grimmers and the flexibility of these races.
Thank you for your review, I agree with your comment with regards to having a somebody at the start/finish/crossing mat area. There will definately be an extra marshal at the next event.

Lovely location
Pros- Location was lovely, great if you don’t want to take part in a big high profile event, ability to get together with friends after for drinks/snacks. Cons- Route Signs not great, turning points not officially marked, no medical staff on route and at times you can be all alone.No one greeted me with my medal I had to go looking for it and no distance lanyards for the medals, everyone gets the same.
My friends 10k results have not been published which is terrible.
Summary -I would run again for the locations but lots that can be improved based on the cost.
Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed the location. Please bear in mind we're a very small company and our medal lanyards are generic, otherwise we'd be wasting lots of medals. All our staff are Sports First Aid trained that were on the course, I should perhaps make that clear at the briefing. Due to being a small company, the nature of our runs is that you'll spend time alone. I agree with some of your other comments and I will use your feedback to improve on next years event. Thank you and we hope to see you again :-)

Nice flat scenic route
Very welcoming run, good facilities at start and finish. Turn around point poorly manned and not enough guidance for longer distance runners causing issues. No 10k times results posted, all other distances posted. Runners and spectators stood in groups on start / finish line making thing difficult. Double parking in car park so had to wait 30 minutes to get out after. Nice run, just needs a little more organisation
Results can take up to 24 hours to be online. Thank you for your feedback. I'll take it on board and hopefully things will be improved for next year.

A lovely scenic route along the Leeds to Liverpool canal
Thanks Dan :-)
Emily Rackham
Great event, dead friendly!! Thank you
Great event, but I ran too far because I wasn’t sure where the canal we were supposed to finish, maybe just a couple more coloured markers, but then that might confuse people as well. Overall awesome thank you
Thanks for your feedback. Turnaround signs ordered.
Nicola Cantle
