Would be really helpful if the Marshal at the turn around point would tell runners to keep left, as we had participants running towards us and when I asked if we should keep left I was told she didn’t know.

The course was well marked and plenty of cheerful marshalls. Loved the one with the tambourine!

Always well organised and the Marshalls are fantastic

This was our first competitive 10k , we trained hard for it , we both thought the course was lovely except those hills lol

would like distance markers on route but not a deal breaker and maybe send off in waves as was crowded on the paths till it got spread out. It was an enjoyable event thankyou

Luckily my usual 5k run starts with a hill so not totally unprepared but it was nowhere near the relentless (and seemingly endless) hill at a mile and a half. Don’t be afraid to power walk the beast.

Fabulous route through the Byes alongside the river Sid - Salcombe hill gets the pulse going somewhat, & then the esplanade running by the sea, what could be better! Another climb up Salcombe before you're on the home straight, much better than a flat course.
Well organised & marshalled as usual - recommended!

Great event, mostly flat tarmac route. Has a couple of testing short hills. Very friendly with plenty of marshalling making it simple to follow. Will definitely be doing again.

Will return next year. Loved the event.

I would have loved to have Mike markers so you could see how far it was as we went along.

Traffic passing at the start line made it very difficult to hear what was being said. Lack of starting waves meaning everyone just set off and a very narrow first mile made it near on impossible to get going, especially with people running in groups taking up the entire path. Very few marshals along the route, with 2 very large steep hills. Advertised as a good route for beginners and PBs, the above made it very difficult. No road closures which caused for obstacles. The bridge over the Ford wasn’t being managed very well, there were families walking across taking up the whole bridge meaning runners had to stop. No marshals along the seafront meaning you had to dodge people for the whole length.. including small children on scooters and dogs.
On returning back towards the finish line the Byes were incredibly busy and many walkers with dogs off their leads, again making runners stop time and time again.
I’m very aware the whole route was a public route but for the £21 entry fee I would expect a little more than what I experienced today. Really disappointed.

Really enjoyed the race; low key, friendly, fun and a great route.

Very busy with non runners, particularly on the sea front.

Love the metal medal in preference to the wooden ones
