RunThrough Events Reviews 

I only decided 4 weeks ago that I needed a half marathon to run as part of my marathon prep. I knew I could find a RT one and the Derby event in the grounds of Alvaston castle did not disappoint. As always with their events somewhere a bit different to run and the HM being 4 laps was ideal in order to see what my 5K splits were like.

Well organised, which is a given now for these events, but still impressive as so much of it is down to volunteers. I was very impressed with the number of runners out on SUnday. Half marathon, 10k and 5K options meant it had a real race day buzz about it.

Lovely course, well marshalled. Great baner with a couple of the marshalls. Everything accommodated for. Ample parking, refreshments, food vans, water and goodies at the end. And am inpressive piece of bling.

A flat route as advertised and a really good morning out. Can always rely on Runthrough for a good route and event with great support.

Looking forward to pacing at my next RT event. Well done team.

I ran the half-marathon in Derby and had an excellent day! The vibe was amazing, the Marshalls lovely and the route was pretty. Highly recommend

I’m a regular runner with a runthrough trails and I must say it is always a pleasure to come back! Last one I did was in the South Downs. Well organised, Friendly and helpful staff. Very well marked course and well stocked aid stations (fruit, gels etc). Free race photos is a lovely bonus. Runthrough Trails have a good choice of different trail races in absolutely stunning places! Next year I’m planning to sign up for the Girona. The entry fees are very reasonable. Yes, I definitely recommend!

Ran at the event on 2nd August at Elvaston castle.doing the 10k It was a great event very well organised well marshalled who gave lots of encouragement along the way.
Was very reasonably priced and Parking was included in the price too. Yes there were queues to get out after but we just went and had refreshments.
Bag drop was great
The stalls were good but would be good to have a stall that sold running shoes and accessories.
Overall a really well organised event that made you feel looked after.Live results immediately then chip times soon after . Photos included too.
I’d definitely recommend Run Through Events .

Not the greatest of starts. Took part on the Bedford GP race. A very low level of toilets made it so my race started from the portaloos though the start line. Noticing this more often there are less toilets around. Even Victoria park massive wait for the toilet and lack of toilets. If this was just one event I would suspect supply chain but this is two events so far.

Also the disable toilet is not clearly marked in any way which is not a RT issue but needs feeding back to the supplier.

Still a good run with the friendly staff around. The water station could of been in a better place also as it do not come up on the 5K on a hot day.

Warm up on the other hand would give 0 stars as not quiet sure what to make of it.

Well organised running event company. Ive only attended 2 so far, but will be attending more.
Always nice to get a shiny medal at the finish line, after putting in the effort!

my first race and i didn’t know what to expect!
i hadn’t even ran a 10k before and the whole day really boosted my confidence and taught me im so capable of doing anything!
really well organised and if you’re the sort of person who is chasing a new pb then it’s probably a great opportunity to try to gun for that!
if you’re someone who’s anxious about this sort of thing then it’s totally worth pushing yourself out of your comfort zone as it’s the best environment for it.
i already have my next race booked which is a half marathon as it will be my last race for a series of charity running i’ve been doing.
run through are fantastic and i can’t recommend them enough x

Just looking at Gainsborough Half Marathon that doesn't start/finish or go anywhere near Gainsborough. An old, out of the way, airfield and some low traffic country lanes.

Might be fun but it shouldn't be advertised as Gainsborough Half Marathon.

Great event,well organised, plenty of volunteers and well placed water stations. They even had a choir..

Not a course I would personally do again it was boring and no atmosphere! Helpers along the way on water stations who encouraged you to keep going! Had no issues with directions or parking. Finish was quite messy as people from 10k & 10miles coming to the finish line as children was lining up for 1k (not ideal) as became very cramped and crowded took away the shine for people finishing and family trying to get photographs. My longest race I’d ever done and very proud to have taken part.

Another great event from RunThrough at the West Cheshire 10k & 10miler
Early start and meet up at local Toby Carvery so we could all meet up again afterwards to celebrate our run
Event village was close to start with plenty of toilets etc before we started
Race day warm up began before we all headed off along the country roads of Chester
In the first km the 10mile and the 10k races merged and it got a bit congested for a few mins but it soon spread out again
I really enjoyed the route but only downside was the lack of atmosphere due to the rural route we took
People said it was a hilly course but I didn’t think so at all but I suppose it depends on what you are used to running on
Great medal and a few goodies at the end before we head off to the pub to celebrate
Cant beat a RunThrough event!!!

Hercules Toga Run 5k

A lovely event hosted in the middle of London (outside the Drury Lane theatre where Hercules is performed) although it was an open road race the event pacers did a great job of getting us around the course and in a decent time (we beat the pace by 1.30 mins) two of the cast hosted a warm up dance before the first wave set off.
Even more impressive about this event was it was run to raise money for the make a wish foundation and was just so fun, especially seeing hundreds of people dressed in togas in London on a Sunday.
The event said there was would Hercules merch giveaways and we saw loads of people with pin badges and headbands but we could not see who or how to get any and after the event no one seemed to know even though we asked many people.
The finishers medal is lovely and on theme and a lovely addition to my collection.
Happy to have been a part of this event and hope there are more like it.

Just ran the west cheshire 10k and a fantastic experience it was, well organised and a cracking course.

I ran in the West Cheshire 10k yesterday and it was amazing. I managed to get a new PB and had a really lovely pacer (forget his name) for the Sub 50 wave.
Thanks for all you do

A very well run event in Sydney's inner west. A comprehensive course with wonderful volunteers and the whole race was smooth despite it being the first time held at Sydney Olympic Park

There is a real thrill in the joy of running—whether with my community or in new cities and locations. RunThrough is truly geared towards this; they know how to celebrate both the sport and the people involved. The Italy Run successfully brought so many people together, united by a shared passion and a celebration of Italian traditions, customs, and flavors. It was an excellent event—a huge success that had it all: the national anthem, the *Azzurri* jerseys, music, great food, medals, and prizes for the winners. Perhaps safety could have been better managed on the path leaving the park, though; a cricket match was underway, and a fast-moving ball narrowly missed hitting my head. Otherwise, everything went great—just as I had expected.

Good organisation friendly staff volunteers nice scenery nice medal and post race snacks plenty hydration

Stockport 10k
Fantastic Run, well organised and a great route will definatly do again

Seriously well run events. Lovely atmosphere at every race, with lots of enthusiastic staff to make you feel happy and comfortable throughout the event.

Cant recommend them highly enough, and suggest you become a member to get great discounts on your races (of which there are many).

As always the organisation was fantastic. I run the 5K also the last year as well.The location was so nice and the people alone the path supported every runners. I can run 1 time a year because i don’t live in England but when I visited my sons I like to partecipe
