Really enjoyable race which was very well organised. Parking was very easy. Lots of lovely marshals and Volunteers! A really lovely community feel in honour of our friend Arthur who was so highly thought of by all that knew him.

Just a few suggestions :-
A tshirt or medal option would have been appreciated. There were T-shirts for sale but unfortunately none small enough to fit me otherwise I would’ve purchased one.

The age categories on the results page did not reflect the age category results for the trophies. Perhaps this can be easily corrected? Us runners love stats!

It would’ve been nice to have a photographer out on the course or at the finish line.

Very well organised. Plus the Marshalls were great - encouraging and so many along the route. 10/10 let’s hope they hold this again next year. Needs to become an official race in the calendar!

Yes you have listed five year categories in the results but very few runners are allocated to these - eg v45, v55, v65 etc. I can see several runners listed in v60 including myself, Dave Wright and Peter Higgins who are all over 65. So you either need to list the results in ten categories or correctly allocate to five year categories based on their date of.birth. The former option is probably correct as the awards were presented for veterans in ten year categories I believe?

The results are available for runners in different age categories but there is something wrong as the five year categories eg V45, V55, V65 have just a couple of runners listed! The awards were in 10 year categories is v40, v50, v60 so runners should be categorised the same way. By way of an example myself, Dave Weight and Peter Higgins are all over 65 but are in the v60. If you want to have a v65 category then we should be in that one!

Thanks so much for a great event. Clearly a lot of effort had gone into ensuring that everything went smoothly. Fast, flat course with excellent backup and encouragement from marshalls. Informative email communication providing full details in good time ahead of the event. Hard to find fault but, if I had to, it would be great to add a baggage storage facility. Am hoping that this becomes a popular, regular event.

On learning of Arthur’s respect for the environment, was rather disappointed to see plastic bottles of water used and no snack option for vegans at the finish.

Would have liked a medal with his face on or a t-shirt… the Essex Wildlife ones were nice but £30 was a lot!

A well organised event with excellent marshalling.
From the outside looking in, not being from Colchester, you could tell how highly regarded and loved Arthur was.
Will definitely come again next year.

Would be still nice to receive a participation medal especially for the price of the event.

Great fun event, really well organised and super fun.
