Good

Pretty sure the 10 mile was just over… could’ve saved a bit of a hill :)

A good challenge for a beginner like me

Can’t believe our beautiful looking canals, please Liverpool Canal keeps surprising me

Really enjoyed the race

It was a great race and the canal route was gorgeous. The food and drink afterwards was superb and it was good to chat with everyone and eat the snacks.

It would have been a bit nicer if more people cheered the runners as they ended

Thank you. Definately needed that extra marshal at the end. :-)

Carolyn Speight

10k great. Well organised and marshalled. Problems with 5k as no Marshall at turnaround and could have done with a dedicated person at the cricket club to direct longer distance runners where to go next as many ran past looking for guidance

Friendly and low key!

Beautiful 5k route along the canal tow path, shame that we were sent in the wrong direction, ended up running an extra few k’s which I loved anyway, with that known no chance of a PB!

Thank you for your feedback. Apologies for sending the 5k runners the wrong way. Next year I'll send you the right way and you can get that PB :-)

Chris Bywater

Really good, but sent wrong way so I did 5.72k

All excellent except being sent wrong way so no turning point marshal, so did 5.72k and will have messed result up.
Shame because as I said everything else was excellent
