Participation inclusiveness for all

Such a personalised offering no matter where you are on your running journey. Ruth and Simon greet you by first name as friends.

Novelty and ingenious ideas such as hair ties to mark each lap and playing the event instrument to mark your chosen distance conclusion.

Great partcipant joining instructions paint a very clear visualisation of what to expect and a massively stocked refreshment table is a boon.

Having the option to be unsure of the distance is great so your body can inform your effort on the day.

The mix of personal goals for the participants were obvious for the inclusiveness of the event. Folk in costume preparing for marathons to come, folk with walking poles to increase distance, folk 'jeffing' for increased endurance. All welcome to their own challenge and distance.

Great, and encouraging marshals strategically placed and a view to die for, when it's not raining.

A hugely enjoyable first time out at a Long Player Running event, feeling supported and valued.

Brilliant race. So friendly and welcominging. I loved it.

Only the 2nd race here but I felt like I belonged and the organisers cared about me. Every lap I was asked how I felt and nothing was too much trouble. The many public toilets along the course helped my nerves too. Thank you so much.
