FREL

I took part in Llanelli 1/2 marathon and found it to be very well organised. Plenty of Marshall’s route directing and water/fuel stations. Amazing goody bag too, really nice to see gluten free items in there.The only reason I dropped a star is because I would have liked a 2023 finishers t shirt. I did receive a 2022 finishers t shirt from last years event as stated on their page though. For me personally I would rather a finishers t shirt over a medal.

A first rate events management company, the needs of the runner will always come first with this organisation, as evidenced in the recent Port Talbot half marathon. Weather conditions were not ideal (it was in the middle of a heatwave) an early decision was made to bring the start forward 2 hours in order that runners wouldn’t get caught in the extreme mid day heat. Furthermore additional water stops were rapidly created, again to provide those on the course with additional hydration options.

Cancelled Cardiff 10k with no refunds! Hopefully will be investigated by trading standards, company won't be in business much longer I imagine. I certainly won't be entering any of their future events.

Cancelled the 2022 Cardiff 10k and are refusing to give refunds. Shocking how they can get away with it. Something needs to be done about this company. Beware anyone thinking of entering any other events run by this company (Swansea Half, Llanelli Half, Port Talbot Trail).

I ran the Swansea half, given how hot it was on the day there should have been extra water stops. Even some pacers were seen to struggle in the heat and then the “goodies” handed to you one by one at the end, with a cheap looking bit of wood for the medal. I understand the ‘sustainability’ desire but when you charge the same prices but remove the t-shirt (unless you pay even more money) and have a cheap looking medal it looks more to make money than do your bit for the environment.I completed the Llanelli Half yesterday, this was a better, course was good. At least the ‘goodies’ were in a smart draw string bag this time. The medal had a bit more too it for a wooden one, again t-shirt you have to pay extra for. The rubbers put a lot of training in for these runs, especially the casual ones a t-shirt and decent looking medal are something to cherish as a reward for all that hard work. The field was less than 600, bring back the t-shirt and make the medal a bit grander so much can be done with wood.

Cancelled event with no alternate options apart to run virtually.I’ve not paid an event fee just to run my standard routes. Refunds or deferred entry should be offered

Really well organised and supported event. Good access to drinks etc on site and fantastic goody bag at the end.

You're always guaranteed a great day out whether you're a runner or a supporter with Front Runner Events.Every member of the team works hard to make sure everyone comes away with great memories.Totally recommend running with them!
