RunThrough Events Arvostelua 

Great for organised runs

I am new to running, completing C25K April 2025, I was so proud when I completed the Blaydon races this year, although happy with my time 43mins, I wasn't impressed with the organisation and it felt like a glorified park run.

In august I ran the quayside 10k with run-through and it was night and day, not just the friendly staff but the organisation was great, asking people to start based on run times, lots of helpers of you were lost or stuck before the start.

The medal was great, the t-shirt is a good one that I wear alot to the gym now.

I hit a PB of 44:59 and I put that down to the fact I didn't have to sprint past people a d waste energy, hats off to run-through, I'm already looking for my next run with them.

Everything was easy to find with clear signage. Lots of toilets so the queue didn't last long. Clearly visible staff with bibs. Constant updates were given before the event so the warm out and start of the race wasn't missed. Would have been nice with more stalls or entertainment as I arrived early and had nothing to do for a hour. However, on the whole a great first experience.

I like the Lee Valley track and it’s challenging, well organised

I have attended nearly 30 events with Run Through since 2021, and I am yet to be disappointed. My most recent event was the Olympic Park Chase the Sun 10k on 12th August.

Their mission statement, "to inspire active nations through running" says it all for me.

From the booking process, through to attending the actual event, everything is so very easy and so much great support is available from the friendly team, both online and in person. Events are held in such great locations too and, come rain or shine, the RT team work so hard to make each event a success. I've only ever had a couple of minor issues, and these were dealt with promptly and efficiently. I look forward to attending many more events.

I do a few runs with Runthrough, this month I did the 10k at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, it’s a good course and I managed a PB. The course was well set out, easy enough to get my race number. They also had a bag drop.
After the race I got a lovely medal and post race snacks. I’m really looking foward to coming back and doing this again. Runthrough runs are always well organised. Looking foward to Hyde park 10k in September.

The event itself was very well organised with good communication prior to the day and upon arrival. The event itself is still relatively new so it wasn’t crazy busy and there was minimal queuing for the toilets as is often the case at running events. The race is a lapped course but clearly signposted with drinks stations.

My only negative feedback isn’t of the race itself but the time of year it’s held. It was near 30c towards the end of the HM which caused a lot of people issue due to the heat. I’d look at starting earlier during the day or move the event altogether, to maybe spring or autumn.

Overall good but I’m not sure I’d do it again simply due to the heat making it exceptionally difficult.

There were plenty of helpful and important messages given over the mic as we gathered. The warm up was great and there were plenty of pacers available for all times (my pacer was 50 min). I do miss the flags the pacers used to have as they were so much easier to spot as you ran, but I was able to keep a steady distance from the pacer to get my sub 50. The goodies at the end were very welcome too to help aid that important recovery time. Loved the medal and course, will definitely be back again next year for a 3rd time!

Battersea Park HM 8th August.

Run through are very organised- send out all details in advance, event guides and on the day event is well signed and staff very polite and friendly.

However… the course is far too busy for the numbers running, especially when the 5km and 10km runners join the HM runners. There isn’t really enough space and it means there is a lot of congestion and people are having to weave and run around the outside quite significantly if lapping. It is also a bit treacherous getting the water then having to cut in and across people or just stop entirely.

It is great as a participation event but if you are wanting to run a faster time it is extremely difficult with congestion and lapping. Staying left isn’t really practical for the runners when the numbers are at this scale.

My humble suggestion to Runthrough to improve the experience would be to have more waves or a more staggered start if they want to continue with current numbers.

I absolutely love all events especially the Southport Seaside 10k & Altrincham 10k.

Good support, and the Marshalls were very supportive. Despite being 6laps, their energy didn’t fail, even when mine dropped!

Down side, not enough toilets!
I did the 20mile race and the queue was 10 long when I joined before my race.
When I passed on lap 2/3 the queue was almost onto the running route! Those waiting for the 5/10k and those already running needed those toilets!
Perhaps having a runners toilet somewhere else for those on route might’ve helped!

The run was seamless and very well organised, registered late so had to pick my bib up on the day and was straightforward and easy
All the marshalls were really friendly and encouraging
This wss my 2nd RunThrough event and im already looking to book more

RunThrough made my experience great! The running community and everyone involved made the day class! It was an amazing day and the event itself was organised and executed perfectly! Everyone involved, staff, Runners and peers watching! Amazing! Could not fault it!
Huge Thanks to Emma for the support and help along the way!

Well organised events but disappointing response time to any issues raised. Annoying that you are unable to telephone or message them for support

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
