Fantastic monthly race.
A great race if you want a competitive run, or just an easy lunchtime 5km. Very well organised, and unbelievably great value for money. I enter every month I am available, at least 7 times a year.
Keep up the great work.

Tremendous. Easy to get to by public transport. Good value. Friendly. Great encouraging empathetic volunteer marshals. And a cafe. Been coming for a "long time," getting slower but still enjoying.
I like getting the number in advance which means I'm ready to go and no queueing. It would be good if once in a while we could go round the previous one lap course. That would up the scenery score and give the satisfaction of running round the Serpentine.
Andrew Deighton
Fantastic, simple race, great organisation, super value
Long may this race continue to prosper. Such an antidote to commercial organisations in London charging £30 for a 5k
Graham Laylee

Steve Platt
Excellent, friendly, low-key event in a great location
I've been entering this for 20 years or so and I still can't catch the quickest VM70 runners, in which category I now find myself. Great run, great people, thanks to all involved.

Always a good way to come to close one month and start the next
Thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who make this event so welcoming and friendly - even when you are at the back like I am. Especially Bev for taking care of safety pins and numbers what ever the weather.
