Very well organised event with very friendly Marshalls and organisers

I travelled 3 1/2 hours for this event. It was definitely worth it very friendly and good value. I will definitely try and get down again for the next event.

Not able to attwnd due to the race not being in Scarborough

As this was changed at short notice we couldn’t make it. A run in Leeds is not a run in Scarborough. The offer of a switch to another event is not a good substitute. We were not offered a refund or a deferment to next years SCARBOROUGH chuffed run.

Pleasant enough but disorganised.

I ran the marathon but I have no idea what my finishing time was as there was no steward at the point where we were supposed to turn around the first of 4 laps! He was on his way but most of the marathon runners beat him to his post! About a dozen of us ran an extra km or so before we realised there was no one to tell us to turn around. Very disappointing as I'm sure we've all trained very hard for this.

Very relaxed atmosphere great place to have a run out

Lovely to see a different part of Scarborough
Thought the route was great and just seeing other runners on different mileage always lovely
Only slight niggle was that it was short on 10km so im presuming the same for all distances
Shame really but I look it like a PB for my 10km
Shall be back
Thank you Grim up North

Enjoyable

Distance incorrect. Would have been better if it had been out and back once for half marathon. Lovely event overall with excellent refreshments as usual!

Really enjoyable!

Another good challenging route.

I did the 10K but it was short by 0.66 of a mile which was a disappointment on the day but it won't stop me attending another event.

Friendly, local event with no crowds!

A great antidote to mass participation events. Lovely people, friendly and a great variety of snacks! The medal was one of the nicest I’ve ever received. I liked the out and back route with just a little bit of vert here and there. One niggle, it wasn’t half marathon distance.
Short by half a mile or so. That’s a bit of a shame and could have been easily rectified in planning.

Great event but markings were fell short

The overall event was great - great setup and organisation, clear instructions given at the starts and signs were easy to follow. Everyone there was really friendly and great variety of treats at the end!
The only thing for me is that the markings fell short so the run was only 20.3k which was a bit disappointing especially for those hoping to get a PB or maybe doing their first half marathon.

It’s not so grim up north

Very friendly event with stunning scenery and the 4xout and back worked better than I anticipated
Marshals did a fabulous job and the food/treats were spot on
