Something Different .
Please change the medals they really let the event down.
It was a shame to see so many empty places on the bus. I’m sure if you could transfer places it would help with this. People don’t want give up a place for nothing, if they don’t want to defer.
Thank you so much, Sue. We really appreciate the honest feedback, and yes, we completely agree regarding the medals. New medals have already been ordered for next year and we’ll be revealing those very soon. With the empty bus places, we feel exactly the same. It’s always sad to see places go unused, especially when demand for the event is so high. We do already offer deferrals, and every year a few people do take that option, but unfortunately there are still always some places that don’t make it to the start line. Thank you again for taking the time to leave feedback, and we’re really glad you enjoyed doing something a little different with us.

Brilliant race
Can’t recommend this race enough! Mostly downhill all the way with great scenery. Really well organised too!
Hi Sophie, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We're delighted you enjoyed the course, the scenery and the atmosphere. The Descent is a bit of a unique event, so it's fantastic to hear you'd recommend it to others. A huge thank you as well for your kind words about the organisation. Our volunteers work incredibly hard behind the scenes to make the evening run as smoothly as possible, so feedback like yours really does mean a lot to all of us. We hope to welcome you back to the top of the hill again next year! Wane & The RunAble Team

Undulating descent!
I got a 10K PB on this one, which I was expecting - but it doesn't go downhill as quickly as you think - there is quite bit of up, especially in the first half, so you feel you've earned your PB!
Fast and relentless, with great scenery and very well organised. Would like to try The Descent 2 now as well.
Hi Janet, Thank you so much for your fantastic review. Firstly, congratulations on your 10K PB! We love that you pointed out it's not quite the "free ride" some people imagine. Those early climbs certainly make you work for it, which makes that finish line and PB feel even more rewarding! We're delighted you enjoyed the scenery and found the event well organised. Comments like yours mean a great deal to us and our volunteers, who work incredibly hard to make the evening what it is. We'd absolutely love to welcome you to The Descent 2 as well. If you enjoyed this one, we're sure you'll have just as much fun on the other! Hopefully we'll see you back on the start line again soon. Wane & The RunAble Team

Brilliant race
This race is definitely a go to now. I entered for next year within a hour of being home.
Roll on next year.
Hi Tony, Thank you so much for your brilliant review. Reading that you entered next year's event within an hour of getting home genuinely made us smile! We honestly can't ask for a better compliment than that. We're delighted you enjoyed the event, and it's fantastic to hear The Descent has become one of your "go to" races. A huge thank you for your support, and we'll look forward to welcoming you back to the top of the hill next year. See you in 2027! Wane & The RunAble Team

Fast
My first descent but certainly not my last. Hot hot hot.
Hi Nicola, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. Firstly, we're delighted to hear your first Descent certainly won't be your last! That's always lovely to read. The weather definitely turned the heat up this year! It made for a warm evening, but we're pleased you still enjoyed the event and found everything well organised. As for the scenery... we'll have to see if we can arrange a few more mountains and lakes next year!

High To Low - It's Downhill All The Way!
I'm suffering from Bronchiectasis (you'll have to Google it!) at the moment so my breathing isn't too good. So this run is a great way to go fast womith expending too much energy.
Jess Taylor
Brilliant event - highly recommend!
Thank you Runable and the organisers for The Descent 10k 2025 - what a fantastic event! It was really well organised, and everyone was lovely and friendly. The course was epic! Beautiful scenery and a perfect opportunity to smash any previous 10k PB! I’ve recommended it to all my running friends, and loads of us have signed up for next year already. See you in 2026, I’ll be looking forward to it!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, Jess! We're thrilled you enjoyed The Descent 10k and appreciate your kind words about the organisation and scenery. It's fantastic to hear that you and your friends are already signed up for next year! See you in 2026!
Jane Lawson
One of a kind. Still grinning 24 hours later
A bus takes you up onto the top of the Pennines and then you run DOWNHILL for > 90% of the 10km.
It's a steady consistent gradient down .
If only running was always this easy
Really friendly atmosphere
