Escrick 10k 2011 Comments

We have been overwhelmed by the comments we have received this year, and the very helpful suggestions on how to improve some aspects of the race. We would like to thank all those that wrote to us – a selection of these are….

The race and the entire day was brilliant. I will be running again next year and having now experienced the event, my daughter wants to join me. Parking my car was straightforward, the running route was fantastic, the administration efficient and painless, marshals friendly and helpful and the bacon/sausage bread rolls superb. My only criticism of the day is that I could have done with achieving a faster time!  

Thank you very much for making it such an enjoyable day. 

See you next August. 

Pete

I would like to thank all your stewards for their encouragement which helped to keep me going. Really enjoyed it, although the hot weather was tough :)

Thank you once again,

Sarah

Just wanted to say thanks very much for a very successful 10k today.  Have not run for over 3 and a half years and thought it would be a good one to get me back into it.  It was - lovely route, a real treat. It was all very well organised.  Please say thank you very much to all those involved, it really was very enjoyable. Will you do another next year?  I hope so!

Annemarie

Really enjoyed the run. Great atmosphere and very well organised. Will definitely be recommending it to our club members.

Derek

Good work - good event this.  Large enough to be competitive but small enough to be welcoming.  Much rather have a lower entry price than any garb after the race too so credit to you. 

Enjoyed the race, very nice course and great weather. I will come back next year to try to improve my time. Andy

Thanks for helping to organise a great event, really enjoyed it.
Chris

Enjoyed it very much , a great course and very English. Thanks to you and your team for excellent organisation, I intend to put a piece in our newsletter advising our club members what a great event it is.

Paul

Steve   thanks for a great day yesterday we thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere on the village green and nice to run on a multi terrain course for a change. Judging by the size of the field, you have an event that’s going from strength to strength.

Martin

Thank you for a great day on Sunday. I ran the 10k which was well organised and everyone was very friendly. The course was well marshalled and an interesting and varied route very different to my usual road races.

My children ran the family fun race which was their first race and are looking forward to next year already.

The BBQ and refreshments were fantastic and good value for money we all had a great day and will definitely be entering next year.

I really enjoyed yesterday’s run, first time I've run Escrick, just a little to hot for me though! Angela

I really enjoyed the event thank you, it was so well organised and such a lovely atmosphere. Paula

This was the first time I had done this race and I really enjoyed it, from the efficient and friendly marshalling, to the lovely location and a 10K which is very much out of the ordinary!!!

Even lucky with the weather! 

Denis

Really enjoyed the course and hopefully I'll be back next year
Simon

Not sure how you get away with 3 sunny events but it's certainly good for the spectators. Might prefer a little more cool and cloudy from a running perspective! Ken

Thoroughly enjoyed the day yesterday. It was only my second 10k and i had a great time. The course was great and the setting was very picturesque. Bob

I thoroughly enjoyed the day and more so as this was my best 10k time out of the four races I've done this year.
I must say it is the first time I have ran at Escrick and was impressed by the organisation and friendliness of everyone involved, it will certainly be on my list to do again next year!

Wonderful race, thanks to all the marshals and everyone else involved in the organisation.

Hayley

I would like to take the opportunity to mention that I enjoyed the event and am intending to take part next year.

Basically I thought the race was excellently organised, and the start / finish area fantastic – the village green is perfect. I think us runners and cyclists are quick to complain when something is bad, but probably don’t let you know enough when you put on a great race. Anthony
