Maybe find a flatter route around the site as the uphill zig zag, although paved was too hard! Also Santa suits are hard to manage so maybe just have festive fancy dress instead?

Absolutely loved this event and already planning to enter next year. It was a great atmosphere with very friendly and supportive people at every turn. Thanks to all the organisers and volunteers behind the scenes and standing out there in the pouring rain.

My Santa suit suffered several wardrobe malfunctions, so next time I will wear my own Xmas outfit :-)

Great event- maybe good to have some Christmas music as going around the course. A tea and mince pie tent as cafe got very over whelmed.

Would definitely do again next year!

Great fun, friendly atmosphere and well organised. Chip timing probably not necessary. Would definitely do next year and hopefully get to see some of the scenery. Well done Stroud Athletic Club.

Even after doing a test run to find the site, I wasn't sure as there were no arrows, banners, no signage at all and I still managed to miss the turn on the day. It was a hard course (long uphill at the end) but a fun atmosphere and inclusive as you could walk it and only do one lap. I was glad to be supporting Allsorts as a family member used to attend their youth club.

Very well organised, friendly, great venue, very inclusive all in all a great morning with family and friends

Very well organised, super friendly and great cafe at the end

There was one corner that was quite muddy not far from the start. Maybe that spot could be avoided in future.

Christmas music outside would have enhanced the atmos
Did numbers and chip timing seem daunting to non runners? Are they needed? Don't have them as non runners won't want them and few committed runners won't think of this as a 'race' or 'timed run'
