“A slight decline from the usual high standard - Great race as usual, but I experienced a decline in the overall standard which can be an alarm for the next races if not taken into account: - From the 2 water stations, the 1st was positioned few meters away from the start line. - The 2nd station was manned with a lot of folks, which found their smartphones more interesting. - The pre and post communications addressed wrong first names. - Confusing distances on timing certs. - Breakfast vouchers not honored.”

“Wrong event category in the downloaded certificate - Wrong event category in the downloaded certificate. It shows 10K instead of 5K.”

Comment from Premier Online - 18.03.2015
“Your certificate is now showing 5K instead of 10K in the text, the timings have no change as they were always correct. We hope this helps and apologize for any inconvenience this incorrect data display on your certificate may have caused you.”

“Gets better every time. - Perfect as always. Loved the idea that we picked up the race numbers on the morning and it was so quick thanks to all the helpers. Other races could learn from this event as its so well organized and you can tell that every detail has been thought about. Only one thing. Maybe the option of a veggie sandwich in the breakfast bah instead of chicken or tuna but thats just me being spoilt! Great job guys!”

“In general, the race was good - The event was organized very well. The only comment I have is the route near the finish line, it could have been on a straight path rather than turning left to the parking area where you could not be able to do a sprint. It was my first time to join such event and I was very happy with the experience. Looking forward to the next event.”

Comment from the Event Organizer - 16.03.2015
“Thanks for your feedback. The course is a measured 5Km loop and not sure how we could accommodate your request other than to move the start and finish to another area of the venue. We'd be happy to look at an option put forward for next season ”

“Great season fixture - This is a great series of runs. Again we were lucky to be able to run in almost perfect weather conditions. Organization of the run is excellent, snacks and giveaways are nice addition to the worthy charity cause of this series.”

“Fun little run through a parking lot - The event was well organized and started on time. The course is what it is - not that interesting a run, but a good way to get up early and get active. Thank you to all of the volunteers.”

“Great fun with friends - Although I enjoy very much participating, I am finding the start of the race very frustrating. There are those that run and those that walk. Those that walk insist on walking in line across the road. This prevents those that run from passing. Why can’t those that walk stay to the left and allow those that run to pass freely? This is a real problem at the first round-about. Presently the only way to beat this frustration is to push my way to the front before the start and that’s not much fun for anyone. I would recommend that you have marshals at the start to keep walkers to one side.”

“Really fun run! Great organization! Great people! - This race had a lot of participants, but was still seamless (it seemed to me!). Great organization, easy to get to, park, and pick up race bib/pack. Quick, simple starts for both 10k and 5k. Really fun morning! I've participated in many runs in the USA and Sweden and the couple that I've been to with the Striders and at ZSC have been really positive. Thank you!”

“Last minute changes - Race is well run. Only recommendation is to not make last minute changes and surprise runners with new rules, such as no wearing of headphones. This has always been allowed in the past and on a closed course like ZSC there is no danger. ”

Comment from the Event Organizer - 15.03.2015
“Hi Kirk, thanks for the feedBack. We asked that those that wore Head phones only Blocked one ear. With a growing field it can be daNgerous when other runners come by at a faster pace. I rode in front of the 5k runners to ensure a clear pathey and the only non movers were head phone wearers. We want it to be safe and happy for all ”

“Good organisation, poor support on course - There should be a few more people cheering on the course. It would have made the boring course a bit more lively. The 5k race was full of 'tourists', people having a chat and a laugh and it was really annoying to dodge them as a serious participant. I'd suggest seperating the courses (or racing after the 10k) or at very least the not walking on the racing line.”

“Duly noted, as the number of participants grows we will re address this for next season ..... Walking or running great to See people being active ”

“Brilliant end to ZSC race season - Thanks Steve and the rest of the team / volunteers etc on another well organised race together with the money raised for charity that you should be extremely proud of. Personally, I knocked another minute off my course time so happy. Looking forward to the next ZSC series in October!”

“Another great event - Great event and Very well organised. Really enjoyed it and you got the weather right this time. My only feedback woulD be can you make it clear to those who plan to walk to do it off the racing line especially through the tight corners at the end. I had a few in front who just stopped all of a sudden or walking 4 abreast. Also the van that drove down the course was dangerous. This was the drivers fault. ”
