I've just completed my first Red Warrior 5K run at the weekend in Pembrey Country Park. The organisation pre-event was great, so congratulations on that. The run itself was a lot harder than I expected for a novice runner and my time was shameful, but we did have a lot of fun and I would definitely do it again, with a lot more training beforehand!! I wanted to give some constructive criticism for future events though. The late start times were very frustrating and I'm not sure why this happened, there was no explanation? The main issue for me was that we were told there would be water stations around the course to rehydrate and this did not happen. This needs to be addressed for future runs, especially when runners are told not to carry their own. Runners (especially inexperienced ones like me) need to have access to water during the course. There were also very sketchy safety measures around some of the obstacles, in particular the net bridge in the middle of the woods, with one marshal by herself. There were no crash mats or any padding around the nets and I was very off-balance going over the top. I do wonder what the marshal would have done if I had fallen to the ground below? I appreciate they all had walky-talkies and there were medics around but that could have been really dangerous.

That's my moaning over with anyway and we DID have a lot of laughs and really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you for putting on a great event and please take this feedback as positive things to consider for next time....
