Testimonials (2008)
“ Just a short message of thanks to everyone who made the RAK Half an excellent event. The atmosphere was fab, the crowd support, scenery, fresh air, police support, marshalls, music and most importantly the toilets and everything else was brilliant. Communication, before, during and after the event has been great and I generally wanted to thank everyone for making it a fantastic day. Please pass this info on to all concerned. I will be back next year but faster!! ”
“ Well done to you and your team on your excellent event up at RAK! I have only heard very positive stories from participants and everyone commented how well organized it was. The results are also amazing with all the info from the ChampionChips. ”
“ Great race…I’ve heard nothing but positive comments. ”
“ I want to say thank you to you for the help you provided. All my colleagues confirmed that they had a great time! ”
“ Dear Nathan and Team
I wanted to write a quick email to say how much I enjoyed the half marathon last Friday. I run with Deborah and the Stride For Life team. Running the half was one of the best experiences of my life and a true accomplishment.
Right from registering online to the finish line, everything was organized and easy.
One little thing – not enough loos! Every time I went to use the loo it was occupied and I wasn’t willing to wait too long. I’m sure you can understand that.
Thank you again for all the work you and your team put into this event.
Well done and bravo! ”
“ Thank you for the organization of a splendid race. The organization was even better than last year's race. Great atmosphere, I just wonder how you got the weather to be that perfect for a run. Congratulations on yet another fantastic event. "RAK" on! ”
“ Well done, really enjoyed the day.
Just one very minor comment for possible improvement: Maybe next years there could be garbage bins in the finish area for people to use for their empty bottles, etc.
Many thanks to all the team for organising a great race. Already looking forward to next year's event.
