Low pressure, high enjoyment

Hassle free organisation and calm, friendly professionalism on the day from a great team. Really nice venue and beautiful surroundings. Thanks Zig Zag.

Loved it

Well organised, super friendly, nice route, great Marshalls. Loved the music, the coffee/cake and snacks. It’s perfect for people wanting a relaxed atmosphere with no pressure and friendly likeminded runners

Usual superb ZigZag event

Always well organised and today’s run was in a super location with great atmosphere as you pass runners several times on the out and back circuit.

Great course, wasn't sure about the there and back rather than circuit but it was fine, beautiful setting, not to hilly and ground was mostly flat with minimal trip hazzards

More toilet facilities would have been better as had to use my run time waiting as only 2 cubicles.

Great run, did get a bit cramped at times.

It was generally great. If anything let it down it wasn't you, it was the runners who insisted on running 2-3 abreast in tight areas, often forcing me to run in the scrub/nettles. One group of three even cut the corner forcing me into the long grass where it wasn't even narrow.

I realise they're probably deep in conversation or concentration and not really thinking about what they were doing. But it's still not great.

Excellent

My 6th ZigZag run. Second at Hinchingbrooke. The contrast in ground conditions between this one and the mud bath in February was dramatic!

Fabulous trail laps in Hichinbrooke Park - anything from 5K to ultra

Great organisation. Lovely marshals and helpers. Lots of cakes and hot/cold drinks at the finish. Even catered for GF like myself although the real cakes looked so good! Enjoyed the course, liked that it was varied from woods to gravel paths and a lovely lake. Will be back!
