the reason for the large number of late entries and non-finishers is being looked at by other agencies.

Time staggering the start, fastest runners first walkers at the rear.

This was my fist time doing this race and totally loved it,
The only thing I would say with the weather as hot as it was one water station is not enough for a 7k for beginners
two would have been better or a message somewhere to ask stewards if needed
All in all a lovely experience

A good course, the hill climbs were hard going. Great to see so many runners of all ages participating

only 2 adverse comments
1 parking - it took us 45mins to leave the event - which seemed a little crazy
2. a couple of people were running with their phones playing distorted tinny music. It was really unpleasant and spoiled the atmosphere. Could you ask people to use ear phones or something so as not to spoil it for the rest of us?

Would be nice is there were staggered start times for the 7.4 k. It was extemely crowded for the first few km of the run.

We loved it. Difficult by times due to hills but I'd rather have them then not as it excuses the walking. We took the pram around which was hard but the run is a very friendly, open run. Lots of kids running which was great. Even the toddler in the pram got a medal at the finish line. :)

Such a lovely venue to run. Very well organised. Thank you for all your hard work.

As with all events at Blenheim Palace getting in and out of the venue can prove frustrating.

The organisers should include the course elevation gain in the info, so participants know it's hilly!

Need more toilet facilities- no where near enough

Long queues leaving the event- made worst by drivers turning right at the exit - suggested remedy- …. Make all drivers turn left on leaving and people can double back at the first roundabout- it will keep traffic moving perhaps ??

Maybe next year your could ask that anyone walking the race starts at the back. The beginning was very frustrating due to so many walkers!
And do I need to mention the exit? We did leave later so didn't encounter too many queues to leave but while we were picnicking the traffic leaving was awful lots of horn blowing.

Thank you for a great event
