A well organised and enjoyable race, thank you.
Amy Pay
Spot on
Fab route, especially for chasing PB's. Well organised, easy parking and great vibes. Thank you!
Carl Lewis
Very well planned out with great marshalls
A couple of extra signs leading to the car parking turn would be great. I did see runners wearing non bone conduction headphones which made all the rules about it pre run look rather useless. Marshalls were fantastic as always. Perhaps more helpers at the water station next time. Overall, another great event. Thank you.
Hannah McKie
Fab race!
I love this race, it’s so well marshalled, is a great route and has a friendly atmosphere, so thank you! I wonder whether the start time could be brought forward by an hour to avoid the temperatures experienced today? I heard other runners say the same.
A well organised event
August is always going to a hot event. A 9am start would be much safer for runners.
Malcolm Golding
Lovely course, great Marshals.
One negative - the water. I know you cannot change the weather, and it is the runner’s responsibility to stay hydrated. But to get a cup of water - which was only half full - at the drinks station and finish was not great. But - it was my first East Peckham 10k and I will be back next year.
Kathy Leaf
The route was as described - very flat apart from one small incline and very well marshalled / signposted.
It was my very first visit to this part of Kent and I was worried about getting lost. There was no chance of losing my way as the route was very well marked out with signage/marshalls. I have already recommended this race to my running friends.
The only negative comment I have is the very small number of toilets available.
Karen Ash
Fast interesting route
Thank you nicework - would recommend portaloos next time though all building loos wouldnt flush & got filled up in ladies most unpleasant!
Anne van der Molen
Leuke 5k races!
Fun, great races!
Clear and easy-to-find information beforehand. Clear directions and excellent support along the way.
Great atmosphere.

Fun race for younger children
Fun races for those not yet old enough to participate in the 5K. However, the start wasn't fair, and it would be nice to have an awards ceremony with categories based on age and gender. It’s great for the youngest beginners, though experienced young runners are already competing at a more official level.
But thank you for the race!
Selina Draper
Great fun!
Really well organised run and a lovely flat course. It was very hot so a second water station out on the course would have been greatly appreciated. Other than that I'd say it was perfect
Paul Bartlett
I liked the atmosphere, the friendliness. Well done
I was in two minds going as I have a bad back, but I did and delighted that I was able to change from 10k to 5k to avoid aggravating my injury. Well done on offering that; had you not I would have staggered through but it was great to have the option. I have never changed my distance before at an event.
Janice Moorekite
Well organised, local event
A better start organisation needed for 5k- starting mats down then told to go whilst most runners weren't ready. However, did not detract from overall event.
Helen Makaruk
Very well organised
James Welbury
pleasant run on nice country lanes but not all results included
My wife’s results are still not recorded

Lovely flat(ish) race on quiet lanes. Beautiful scenery
There were not enough water stations. It was really hot this morning and there was only water at 4.5km and the end. It also would have been great to have been given a banana or an energy drink at the end.
Rebecca Fitzsimons
brilliant
Jason Baker
Nice course, well organised, would recommend
Carl Barton
Lovely friendly 10k
Oliver White
Fast, challenging course, good for club runners runners
Need more distance markers setting out each km. Would have been nice to have tea/coffee as well as ice cream van. Nice not to have lots of loud music as T20 athlete find loud music overwhelming(sensory overload).
Thank you for your comments, Oliver. Already there have been discussions about adding to the facilities for runners for 2026 so please watch this space. Please be assured, we did have km signs out on the course for each km and we will certainly take your comments about the music on board for future events too.
