BASS BELLE 10 MILER 2016 – REVIEWS

Really enjoyed the race today. Brilliantly organised. Plentiful parking. Lovely marshals. Free chocolate. Everything I needed. Well done and thank you.
Just wanted to say what a fab run! We travelled an hour to join this race and had an awesome time! Felt it was well organised, great route, Marshalls were great! Very supportive and friendly! Will be recommending it to others!
Superb race, very well organised, lovely route & fab marshalls.
Also, the bag drop was very well organised by the scouts & it was lovely having tea & cake afterwards (baked & sold by the scouts).
Would recommend this race to anyone – (5 star review from fit4thechallenge facebook page)
The Bassingbourn Belle 10 miler was a lovely race. Well organised, great course, results straight away at the finish and good homemade cakes! - (5 star review from fit4thechallenge facebook page)
What a superb race it was – the weather was extremely kind to us with an almost totally dry course and your admin, marshals, food/drink, changing rooms etc. and the course were all absolutely top notch – consider yourself a great organiser and I’ll certainly be entering again next year – could I ask you to possibly consider an over ‘70’ years old prize as there are in almost all other races as I can no longer compete in the over 60 category.
Thanks to all the marshals, the cheery cake and coffee team, and especially to the scouts for the most efficient bag return I've ever experienced!
Lovely event. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The marshals were excellent and very encouraging. Thank you. :)
Such a fab race, thanks to all those involved. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Xx
Thank you so much for letting me take part in the 10 miler on Sunday. It was a wonderful race. I thought the organisation and all of the support was amazing, I had an excellent experience. Please pass on my thanks to all those who helped out.
Everything from race HQ facilities to the enthusiastic and helpful marshals was excellent. The course itself was also very nice and kept me distracted from the pain of running hard for 10 miles! I will definitely be back again and will be recommending this event to my fellow club members. Great job Ash!! - (5 star review from fit4thechallenge facebook page)
Well organised race with a friendly atmosphere. Also a really good route - with only one killer hill...not to mention the lovely cakes baked by the Scouts. Thank you - (5 star review from fit4thechallenge facebook page)

6 of us travelled an hour to attend yesterday race and it certainly did not disappoint - Pre-race comms were great! Organisation on the day fab, everyone was so friendly, great atmosphere. The Marshalls were so friendly and up beat, even the locals was great cheering us on and having a giggle! Well done everyone involved! The route was beautiful and the weather perfect! We will definitely be recommending this race to friends!
What a superb race!
It was obvious a lot of work had gone into managing this but it still maintained that happy event feeling of a local, friendly race.
Great course as well and my dodgy time was nothing to do with anything you could have done better.
Thanks for all the time and effort to everyone involved. It IS appreciated.
A very big thank you to you and your team. A great course, great Marshall 's and great organisation. Will definitely be running this race next year. We will be bringing more of our club runners aswell
What a great event!
Lou and I loved the course and the organisation was superb.
We have put a nice little race report into our club so hopefully you may see a few more Kenilworth Runners next year.
Thank you for your efforts in putting on such a good event, both my husband and myself ( numbers 361 and 362) got PB's. All of the marshals were great, fun and encouraging - important to those like me who are, shall we say, more of a steady pace....., we really enjoyed it. Please send our thanks to the whole team, very much appreciated.
The event was so friendly and well organised - I was happy to donate to such a good cause. As a lapsed runner, I thoroughly enjoyed the course, the support of the marshals and other runners. I hope to be able to run this event next year too. Fabulous
Hope you've recovered (or more likely still recovering!) from all the stresses and strains of organising such a big event yesterday! Huge well done to you and all your team!
I thought it went really well, pre-information was clear and covered all the important things, marshals were all very friendly and helpful and I loved the (mainly flat) route, with just that little hill to add interest. Scouts did a great job with baggage reclaim and the home-made cakes at the end were fab - so nice to get other community organisations involved :)
I loved it, one of the nicest 10 miles I've run and not hilly, although I notice one hill was slipped in near the end lol.
Your volunteers were wonderful, plenty of them, all smiling and giving clear direction.
Another great event very well organised - you even laid on the perfect weather.
Really enjoy this course - thank you.
I ran this yesterday for the first time today. I’ve only been running since June and am running London next April so this was one of my training milestones. It was such a great course, really well organised and I really enjoyed it so thank you!
Just wanted to say thank you for yesterday. What a great way (for me) to finish the season off.
I always find these events loads of fun and I was really pleased the by the number of fellow athletes who also took part and enjoyed themselves. The welcoming committee at the end are always good to hear as fellow runners welcome you back in.
Just want to say a big thanks for organising an amazing run yesterday.
The Bass Belle is a brilliant 10 miler - fast and flat with a couple of surprise inclines thrown in for good measure (my knees are feeling it today). The conditions were perfect for running and the small support was very vocal. This is a run that should be penciled in to every local runners diary. I will be back next year and will recommend to others.
Just a quick email to say how much I enjoyed the race yesterday. It is a really great route with happy, friendly marshalls all the way round. The organisation and atmosphere on the day could not be better!!
I will definitely be signing up again next year.
It was an amazing event. Really well marshalled, organised and a great course. Thanks so much. Will be there again next year!
It was a great way to spend a Sunday morning! The race was very well organised and the communication all the way through was second to none. The course was very well signed and marshalled. The marshals were enthusiastic and all the volunteers very helpful and friendly. The course was enjoyable to run. Everyone was smiling!
This was my first run/race and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The event was run very well and all the info prior to the race was on point. All the marshals were fantastic and encouraging. The bag drop and pick up was great. Being given your bag at the end of the race was great organisation.
Thanks to you and your family for an excellent event again today????
