RunThrough Events Reviews 964

I have done running for a fair few months now and done many events with runthrough. I always lean on them for picking running events as I always know the events are a great standard.
Always easy to get sorted for the pre race.

But reason I am posting this review is they went above and beyond at Croft.
I chose to run a marathon.
I wasnt gonna be the fastest... in fact I was last to finish, I was plodding along and the energy of staff waiting for me across the line! I had one the stuff run with me to encourage me across the line and everyone celebrated with such honesty!

I want to to support others the way they made me feel at the end that marathon as they did AWESOME! And I been to enough events to know, these events are full of good people.

Very well organised, lovely marshals, great medals and got to meet Henry VIII!! Thank you 😊

Ran the Hampton court half marathon - half of the route was along a very busy road with narrow pavements. Certain points cars even parked up on the pavement - spent half the run wondering why I had paid money to just spend it running with traffic. Have had nicer solo runs

Praise where it’s due! I had a date clash and needed to cancel a race I’d booked. As I’d used credits originally from a gift card I had to email the team to help me claim race credits back, super fast reply and all sorted for a very small admin fee. Lots of events don’t allow refunds/transfers/defers so I think the fact this is offered is amazing. I’ve done multiple RunThrough events and will continue to enter them as it’s such a great service and always fantastic! Thanks team RT

Great event my 2nd year of Kettering 5km. Would recommend!! Organised well fab location great route lovely staff fab medal and freebies

Such an amazing way to celebrate International Women’s Day with my N7RUNCLUN girls!!

The Women’s Run series had such an incredible atmosphere, so many inspiring women and a really supportive community. It felt like more than just a race.

N7RC Already looking forward to the next one!

Another great experience, well done to everyone involved in the organisation, I run several times and I can only comment positive and amazing events

Amazing very organised run!

I Run with N7runclub on Sundays and we all decided to do this together, it was so nice , easy pick up of bibs , everything well signposted , lots of cheering from the staff as you run around , great atmosphere all round , would definitely do this again , fantastic I had a great morning 😊

Excellent event, well organised, great staff, amazing community and vibes, the medals are great, water and refreshments all provided and loved the photo areas for individual and group photos, such a great experience thank you! D - N7 Run club

It was a wonderful experience, it was nice having a big community come together and lovely meeting new people, I was able to get a new PB with N7 runner

Well organised, toilets clean. They did run out of toilet paper very soon on the chemical toilets outside. Besides that, everything was perfect! Lovely vibes from all the girls running and good post-run goodies :) from N7runclub

Firstly. Giving 1 star is 1 more than RT deserve. North Lincs 10k & 21k. What an absolute shambles. Taking over from the very well established and organised Tape2Tape. RT managed to totally destroy this event!!
Car parks not open. 10k finishers fighting their way through hundreds of 21k starters and spectators. 21k starters squeezed onto a very narrow 1 side of the road. Barely any marshals. No support bikes. No pacers. Fewer water tables than previous years. Marshals hiding behind road signs smoking. Rather than doing their job. Runners being guided by members of the public. Lead bike dropped out early. An injured 21k runner walked in pain for almost 3km before getting any help. Finish line had no atmosphere. Workers had no enthusiasm. Increased price for this new event by RT and basically we got far less than before. I’ll definitely not be doing anymore events by this company. The quicker they vanish the better !!!

I ran the Nantwich 10k and this was my first ever event!
Had no idea what to expect but the pre day communication was excellent.
My running number arrived through the post in plenty of time.
The day itself was excellent.
All the staff, volunteers and crowd vibe was amazing.
Lovely route to run, clear and concise and the level of enthusiasm from the staff was uplifting.
After
The event there were plenty freebies, water, trek bars, biscuits and even tube of voltarol ! They had all bases covered!
I certainly would run again based on that experience.
After the event we received email links to gun and finish times as well as professional photos taken on the day…
Well done to all involved! You smashed it out of the park 🫶

Terrible organisation at the North Lincs 10k and half marathon. Who thought it would be a sensible idea leading hundreds of half marathon runners to the start line along the only path where the 10k runners were entering the park. The front runner was forced to run on the grass amongst park cars, the second runner collided with the crowd which led to him being injured. No marshals, no barriers separating spectators leaving and runners entering. A complete shambles. Obviously poor risk assessment… would not recommend entering an event organised by RunThrough… only if you want to be forced to RunThrough crowds to get to the finish line!

Great course 10k, you run out into the countryside and finish in the stadium, very good, I have also run the half marathon.
What run through didn’t do well was parking was chaos and no pacers

I thought the Middlesbrough half marathon was a great well organised event, the Marshalls were super friendly and really encouraging around the course, it’s a well supported and super flat course, I hope this event goes from strength to strength.

Always well organised events, in great locations, manned by super helpful staff.

I have done the North Lincs Half Marathon for the last 4 years and this was the worst organised of any race. The start line was moved to not the same as the 10k. I believe this was in order to miss the dog leg that everyone hated. However, what it did mean was that 10k finishers were mixing were half marathon starters and so people were everywhere. There was only 1 marshal trying to hold everyone back, which just wasnt enough. Where was the fence from previous years?

I didn't even know when the race started, people just started running.

The water stations were undermanned, meaning at 2 of them I had to stop and get my own bottle of water cos they couldn't give them out quick enough.

Then, my result didn't load, which is fair enough. So I emailed and they got straight back to me, but put me as 90 seconds faster than my watch, and so gave me a personal best. Doesn't sound like much of an issue, but I now know that my best time is fake.

Really really disappointed.

Run Hyde Park and Battersea. Excellent organization!
