“Excellent Event - The only problem I experience is locating the entrance to the location. The medal looks pretty with event date. The shirt looks good and good quality. Nice breakfast. Good marshals and plenty of water at the finish line. Good restroom and parking facility.”

Things that could improve as constructive feedback: - No timing mat in the start - More support stations Overall great experience, good fun, good breakfast. Thanks to all the volunteers!! See you in the next race!”

“Some guidance on baby strollers please!!!! - I am not sure what is the rule about runners with baby strollers? One woman hit the back of my ankle with her stroller whilst running in the inner lane of the track! I was not hurt so badly but it could have well been a serious hit considering the downhill run.”

“A fantastic event - Brilliantly organised event, I loved the earlier start time of 06:30 and how the race started promptly. There was a great atmosphere and marshals were enthusiastic. As always, an amazing breakfast afterwards. It's great to run a hilly race; the course was well signposted. Thanks everyone at DRR!”

“Great event! Loved the course and the breakfast! - The only feedback I have is that it was my first event and first time using a chip. The woman who gave me my bib and chip showed me where she had attached her chip around her ankle, but I thought she was just showing me how she put it on. I had no idea that I wasn't supposed to put it on my wrist because it is too high up to be read. The size of the print on the chip package is too small. My results showed as DNF which was very upsetting, although I did get it corrected later in the day.”

Comment from Premier Online - 17.03.2015
“We understand it's upsetting to not receive a time, it's also disappointing that despite printing (in two languages) the instructions on each chip pack along with pictures, having uniformed timing staff to answer queries and being shown how to wear the chip around an ankle, (as well as there being 500+ other runners to reference), that 'Timing & Results' is still rated poorly. This may show how useful our new feature where you can edit star ratings, can be...after all, you did get a result.”

“An ok event but more organisation needed at start - I thought the race was good but think ti was poor to have been tolad after the sign up that there was a cut off time of 40 mins for the first lap”

Comment from the Event Organizer - 18.03.2015
“Thanks for your comments. As you finished 5th female in the 40 - 44 age group in a time of 51:18 the 40 minute cut off for one lap didn't seem to be too much of a problem for you. You marked the pre-event communications at 30% even though it included a comprehensive downloadable event handbook. Event pack collection was on the day, at the venue, with no queues. What more did you want? ”

“Less people, no tripping up - The only part that was a little disorganised was the start, there was no warning that they were ready, so everyone is just standing around and next thing the alarm goes off and we were off! Those at the back cannot see what's happening in the front so maybe some sort of countdown would be good.”

“A wonderful surprise! - I am a fairly new runner and do not run with a club. I loved the relaxed atmosphere of this race and the course was a joy to run. The most pleasant surprise came post-race, when we collected our race t-shirts and entered a room with a conference style spread of breakfast items and beverages. This was unexpected and so well organised. The race t-shirt was a nice, lightweight saucony t-shirt that I will wear again. Will definitely sign up for this race again.”

“Great event, venue and refreshments - Mostly praise, only negative would be at start. Please get a megaphone as most of runners not able to hear you calling them to start line as did not start near the complex...other than that an excellent event... well marshalled, drinks stations in good positions. A testing course with hills...Nice medal and the after race refreshments, first class. (thanks Movenpick). A good turnout of runners too and Premier timing results first class as always...and I ran a new PB by nearly 1 minute....”

“An excellent event - Thank you once again DRR for a very well managed event (though short handed, but managed to pull it off very well), and the energetic support staff, plus perfect weather only added to the joy. A couple of points to consider for next time - the medal can be better, the start line instructions can be made a bit more audible to all if we use the Autodrome mic system or at least a portable loud speaker, as someone else mentioned a timing mat at the start would've been nice. But overall awesome. ”

“Liked the venue, the race time the most! - Although I feel the markings on the road on kms covered can be worked upon. I have seen better n more celebrating arrangements at the Finish line. The medal quality can be improved. I liked the enthusiasm n the encouragement from the Marshals.The quality of the t shirt is good too. The after race snack was sumptuous n of very good quality. Overall energy levels were nice. It was a good kick off to a Friday!”

“Enjoyable with a few improvements required - Good and fun run. Perfect weather. Nice breakfast buffet. The start could've been managed better with some clear instructions. A premiertiming mat at the start could've given us more accurate timing. Well done!”

“Very well organised - Great event. Only improvement would be for a race timing mat to be at the start to ensure a more accurate record of individual time. Thanks to the organisers though - well done! ”

Comment from Premier Online - 17.03.2015
“The benefit of such a wide track/starting point negates the need for a start mat as everyone's (start) time would effectively be the same. Not using a start system reduces the cost for the organiser thereby assisting with the reasonable entry fee. We hope this explanation helps understand the reasoning behind the absence of a start mat.”

“Excellently organised race - This is a really solid event....organised for runners by runners. But it also had a good family and inclusive feel to it. The 6.30am start may have been imposed, but it was great for lovely running conditions. It's an enjoyable and challenging circuit to run. Great breakfast afterwards was much appreciated. Well done Graham and DRR!”

“Great event, thank you - Wonderful event, in the main very well organised, very friendly, a great breakfast and awesome trophies/voucher, thanks to all concerned. Maybe a loud hailer might have helped at the start as I understand some runners weren't aware what was going on. Looking forward to the next one. ”

“Great event for all ages, nice track! - Great timing for the event, starts at 6.30am which is still nice and cool in the early morning. Family friendly also kids race available. Medal and T shirt give away awesome! Support stations can be improved with more volunteers. Start organisation could be also individually timed by passing on the timing mat. Great job to all the marshalls and volunteers, keep up the great job DRR! See you next year!”

“Great experience, well organised - Start was a bit messy, not marked out or anyone with a loud speaker, but once we were underway it was a great run. Marshals along the course, standard water breaks, and great premier timing. Really good t-shirt and breakfast at the end! Very good event, just sort the organisation for the start. See you next year! ”
