Well organised event. Detailed communications before the event, so you know exactly what to expect.

A great event for beginners as there is no pressure and you can decide how far you wan to run on the day.

Friendly and encouraging marshalls at the key points on the course.

If the weather is good then you get nice sea views and the site of Hengistbury Head during a lap.

Would do it again.

Amazing event, we loved being able to run different distances but still run and finish together. Organisers were so friendly and welcoming, regularly checking in and encouraging us.
The flat paved route made it accessible for buggy running and my toddler had a great day on the beach with grandma while we ran

Such a well organised event, friendly, brilliant aid station and stunning beach scenery. A running community all welcome from beginners to established runners. Love these relaxed events.

Absolutely loved it! Not too busy, no pressure. Really great atmosphere from the organisers and the other runners - thoroughly enjoyed myself! Will DEFINITELY enter again!!

I normally struggle with races as I'm autistic, the waiting around & the people & noise.
Today was ideal for me, just show up when you want & start running. I'm already looking at booking my next event

Lovely organisers! Felt very welcomed and the runners were also such a friendly bunch!
Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a run whether it’s your 85th time or your first time, everyone is welcome. Keep roasting those potatoes too, such a good pick me up!

Weirdly enjoyable despite the driving rain and wind! That was because everyone was so friendly and encouraging. I often feel daunted entering races but this format let me decide how far to run actually during the event, which takes all the pressure away.
Each runner can do their own distance, it gave me the confidence to achieve my own goal. The dedicated soundtrack was great too. Looking forward to the next one.

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.

It was a friendly and welcoming company. Who treated everyone like they had always knew them! Atmosphere was amazing! Every time we finished a lap they cheered us on by name which to me it was personalised. That we were a person not just a runner!

So friendly, great formula of doing the distance that you want . So pleased to find this running company.

Another well organised event, great that with so much being cancelled the choice of location mean they will always be on

We were well looked after at today’s event, the weather was shocking but everyone was friendly on course and Ruth and Simon and their team were amazing, can’t wait for the next event x

Put me in a good mood all day. Lots of nice little touches to the way it was organised.

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.

Very friendly and fun atmosphere!

Great Road running around beautiful Bournemouth Beach. Great atmosphere. Lovely and friendly team of organisers.

Thank you for making me feel so very welcome today. Everything was perfect.
