Message from the Event Chairman
 
Are you sure you ran!

We had a very successful day yesterday with a record number of entrants – 1080, then a further 280 or so in the Fun Run. So, Woodhall has now tripled it’s number of competitors over the last few years – we must be doing something right!

A big thank you to all the helpers out there yesterday morning – some 90 of you all told – without your support we couldn’t stage the event.

Can I thank members of the 10K Committee who give their time to the event: Chris Hibberd, Graham MacRury, Gary Burgess, Trevor Hiatt, Bob Pinning and Simon Elmer.

The positive feedback we are getting is very good news – the fact that our event is run just by volunteers as opposed to others which are managed by city councils; and, that we score well against such events is a big compliment to Woodhall.

All the money we make we give to local good causes and we know they make that money go a long way.

If you represent a local good cause and would like to be considered for a donation please do contact us – be prepared to be asked to man a water station!

A big thank you to everyone once again.

A few comments from the national 'Runners World' website where runners can review the races they have competed in.

This event was well organised. The local ATC (army cadets or something like that) were sorting out the parking and were doing a really good job. There was plenty of room. You could even have camped or brought the caravan.

Once again, a really well organised event with a friendly amosphere and nice local feel.

What a well organised, brilliant race. Chip timing as well this year!

Excellent course with pb potential. Thats if you can find your way through the crowds. Top atmosphere!

Woodhall Spa is a lovely town, We went for the weekend.great flat scenic

 

I wish we had brought a hose!

Excellent run whether you are an elite runner or a pure novice. A date on the medal and a t-shirt would of been nice too. I will definitely be back next year.

Superb organisation, small improvements year on year have transformed this race. Flat fast course means plenty of PB's.Loads of clubs represented (probably worth introducing team prizes?). Only gripe is that it took 25 mins to get out of Woodhall due to the sheer number of cars all being sent down a narrow country lane.

A lovely course, with some undulations. No water available on second water station, clustered finish and all you got for your £10 was a medal. Where is the t-shirt and/or goodie bag. Then took ages to get out of the car park

 

Born for it!

 

Wonderful event, well organised, scenic and fast course

Well done Graham Keegan - feel free to offer your services to Lincoln 10K - they need the help! Your race was excellent in every respect, even down to the availability of safety pins at race HQ

Great course well marshalled both before & during the race. Just one complaint and that is the finish was a bit conjested.

As usual a lovely race. Started on time! more than usual water stations and sponges. Can we have the year putting back on the medals please? also any chance of moving the route so we can maybe run down the broadway where there's some crowd support? Otherwise spot on and thanks to marshalls and everyone else who helped out and made the whole event run like clockwork
