Great well organized event. Not my first time running this one, and won’t be my last.

Haltemprice 10k 2025 was my very first race so I didn't know what to expect but everything went smoothly and organisers made sure all the runners and spectators were comfortable. I liked the free photos at the end! I've got motivation to sign up for another race, so see you next year!

I love runthrough events always well organised... never any issues... love the runthrough community, the medal Monday on website... It was a great run with great runners...loved it

Edited following the organiser response:

I appreciate the quick and thorough response addressing the issues I raised, which would definitely make me more likely to do the event again.

Original review in full below.

*******************************

Some definite issues with organisation and runner safety at the Brewers 10k.

Initially only 3 toilets open for the women, and one of those was blocked by 8:15. Further toilets were eventually opened inside but not long enough before the race to be useful if you wanted to warm up. For a race of this price point, I would expect better toilet provision.

More worryingly, I collapsed on crossing the finish line. It was only a sugar crash and nothing serious, but I couldn't get up, and was left on the floor for some time. There were no marshals other than the photographer, and no medical attention was offered until a spectator got the attention of the Lady Mayor who went and found the St John's Ambulance. It took a few minutes to get help. If there had been a more significant medical incident, that could have had serious consequences.

The 10k course was OK barring the quite long stretch of speed bumps on the out and back section at the start/finish. Parking easy as long as you were happy to be in place until the cut off point - which was only 90 minutes so not really a big deal. The race fee, while high for a short race, did include race photos which is a nice touch.

I am extremely disappointed with how Run Through Events organised the Maidenhead Half Marathon this year. The event caused significant disruption and inconvenience for local residents, showing a real lack of planning and respect for the community.

Parking was an absolute nightmare on Blackamoor Lane, with no proper system in place to manage traffic. Traders began setting up from as early as 4 a.m., and loud music started blaring around 6:30 a.m. — far too early for a residential area. Even worse, several participants were seen urinating in bushes, which is completely unacceptable behaviour.

The road closure signs were placed far too far up the road, forcing confused drivers to turn around in private driveways, causing congestion and damage to residents’ property and vehicles. After the event, the area was left littered with rubbish, showing no care for the environment or those living nearby.

There was also no prior written warning to residents about what to expect, leaving people unprepared for the scale of disruption. Overall, the event was handled very poorly, and it’s clear that Run Through Events needs to show far greater consideration for local residents in future.

No respect, no communication, and no clean-up — very disappointing.

Supposed to be a five star but the result is a bit late

Friendly staff, well marked out, will proberbly run this again next year if theres one around October again

A really well organised event. Everything including on the day registration was so easy. Marshalls brilliant as usual, and to top it all a really lovely medal.
First time but not the last.

A great event, my 2nd after the Warrington half marathon, both well organised and will definately be taking part in many more

I attended the Cannock Chase 10k previously and really enjoyed it. The addition of urinals for men reduced toilet queues greatly. This time though, it was a let down. The race itself was fine, photography withstanding. A bit congested in areas but that’s down to ignorant participants. My biggest issue was with the parking, about which I raised concerns in the run up and was assured it would be fine. It wasn’t. One entrance down from two and the ‘free’ parking didn’t materialise, I’m still waiting on a response regarding this as £7 is not free. Not good enough.

Good well organised event,

Very smooth, well organised experience at Run Kent/Tonbridge Half Marathon. Free on course photography and locally themed medal were very nice touches too.

Very well organised. Superb Kent countryside run.

Worked for run-through at this event.
Work was advertised on indeed for x amount and after being let go early with no option to stay, ended up getting half the fee.
More pressingly, the event was incredibly dangerous for some marshalls who were left in the middle of nowhere to deal with the public who were incredibly angry, aggressive and ill-informed about the event. The signage was poor which meant we were alone in having to tell people that they were unable to advance leading to cars pushing past us and driving at speed alongside the runners on what was meant to be a closes road.
You're paid up to 14 working days after the event, which naturally meant you were paid on the 14th day after the event, which is fine.
Just know what you're getting into. Don't put your life at risk for a company that isn't going to pay you what they'd advertised in the first place.

My experience
All my team enjoyed. Amazing environment, excellent organization!! All the volunteers was friendly.
I enjoyed a lot!
I will definitely join to other event.

a well run event. highly recommend this organiser. thank you for bringing a HM back to Swindon and hope to see you again next year.

Loved the race and the vibes!

Entered the Hamsterley Half Marathon on 28th September 2025. Great event and fantastic route. Would recommend to others.

This is my 4th event with run through and it’s always well organised and the route clearly labelled.
Negative comment on the Swindon 1/3 marathon - there were cyclists trying to get through the runners. Also round the coate water end section you had to avoid the supporters as they were crowding the route.

I’ve been running with runthrough basically from when the company started always put on a great race runthrough trails now is amazing. Well organised volunteers are great. Races are priced good. Pit stops are great . Overall positive experience
