I love Grim events. They feel like a more personal experience than big city events. There's always great food and drink options and plenty at the refuelling stations. Only thing today was the turnaround for the half on the second part of the route would have been too short at the top of the lock. We were advised to go on, but ended up doing 13.5 miles because there wasn't a marshalled turn around further on! Not a major problem in the grand scheme of things, I'm just glad we decided to turn back when we did!!

Will be back for more Grims in the future - definitely in my top three event providers.

My first time at a Grim race, it was a different atmosphere to other races but still I enjoyed. The end foods and BIG medal great possible year on ribbon, but realise you have them mass produced. BUT KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK FOR RUNNERS

This was a great event. My second Grim run.
Everyone was super friendly and helpful and I thought the organisation was great, for example clean toilets and being able to leave our bag in the van. Scenic out and back. Great medals and lots of freebies at the end. Just a shame I had no appetite! I'll definitely be back. Thank you.

Really enjoyed today, the Marshalls were lovely and friendly and it was super welcoming for beginner and experienced runners alike. Strongly encourage people to support the Grim events!

First time running a Grim event and I had a really good day

i do quite a few races with Grim and love them all 2nd time at this location today love both the out and back bits of this distance i like Grims race as you can choose what distance you want to do and change if need to

The event was really welcoming and a lovely location, however we felt the organisation could have been a bit better - we struggled to find clear directions to the event start, there was a small delay to the start due to a missing marshall and provision of water along the route was quite patchy - one of the marshalls had forgotten to bring cups and we didn't feel the water stops were that evenly spaced along the 10 mile route. There weren't many runners, which was good as it meant the towpath wasn't congested, but also meant there was less of an atmosphere. But we did have a really good time and there was a great offering of food and drink at the end!

According to my watch the half marathon was 22k not 21

The Grim team are all so welcoming, very well organised events, great friendly people from marshals to all the work in the back ground so these events can be enjoyed by runners.

Lovely touch to have food and snacks at the end

Well done to all involved with putting this event on. A out & back run alongside the canal. Great medals & food at the end was like a picnic.
