Stunning route and most of all lovely people, relaxed atmosphere and great organisation. I love the flexibility re distance.

Big Thank You to everyone who helped me when I was careless enough to fall over a tree root - the people who stopped, the man who walked with me for a while and especially Steve and Martin who sorted me out afterwards. I'll try not to do that again!

Great organisation and very friendly. I was the last finisher (!) yet everyone was still very helpful and attentive. It meant there was quite a lot of cake left for me

Beautiful bluebell wood to run through and fabulous cake and coffee afterwards, not even mentioning the Lucky Dip Medal!

Am going to enter more races as soon as I have submitted this review.

Another brilliant event! Always well organised, friendly and inclusive. This was my third zig zag event and will certainly be signing up for more. Love the relaxed feel to all the events. Thank you to everyone involved in making this another great event.

Lovely route & cake!

Zig Zag always well organised and Haughley Park is a lovely route with easy parking, plenty toilets and a decent turnout across the distances. 8 laps for full marathon and the standard coffee and cake at the end … what’s not to like! Thanks team

So well organised from car parking,to registration, briefing, marshalls and sign posting for route. Runners and staff friendly and lovely atmosphere. Bluebells and woodlands were stunning.

Loved the complimentary coffee and cake after race. Thanks to everyone who helped make this a special event.

A race for all abilities in a fantastic setting. Perfect for those new to running.

Might be worth having a shortened 2nd/4th/8th circuit to ensure the race distance is closer to what you expect. Other than that, really good little festival.

Bluebellmazing!

Such a gorgeous route such a shame it opens but just once a year. Route so beautiful running through the woodland and the floor covered in bluebells. Another great event thank you so much to the Zig Zag team! My first heavy half today as I couldn’t make my third lap on Easter Friday so was chuffed this fairly flat route cheered me on. Thanks all ♥️

Almost well organised

Done a couple runs with zig zag and spectator for couple others. Always pleasant, well organised and very friendly. Nice locations I've seen so far. Hot drink and cake. And always such beautiful medals. Will be back at another one.
