I really enjoyed this event. I love history and I love castles so to do an event that starts and finishes and Hampton Court Palace is, I think, pretty special. | Criddy

The crowds were excellent, they really spurred me on when I was flagging and the bands dotted along the course were a welcome distraction. Starting and finishing at Hampton Court was lovely and it was surprisingly easy to find free street parking nearby. Brilliantly flat course, mostly along the banks of the Thames, great for first HM or PB chasers. | Teri

A great run around Hampton Court area. A nice flat course, which helped get me a pb. Lots of support around the course and it was nice to run in to the beautiful gardens for the finish line. | Lee
