Wow! Another hugely successful race yesterday which totally makes all the hard work worth it. On behalf of Smalley Road Runners we want to thank everyone for joining us at the Smalley 5 Bells. What an incredible day.
As always our heart felt thanks and appreciation go to all the runners, marshals, event staff, land owners, sponsors, suppliers, charity partners, and each and every one of you that made this event possible. It was team work at it’s best and we are so proud of all we achieved yesterday. Congratulations on your run everyone!
Here are just a few of the comments from runners that participated in the Smalley 5 Bells.

"Thankyou to all involved, volunteers, organisers, Marshall’s and everyone who supports behind the scenes - I’ve done all 3x races and it’s firm becoming one of my favourites in the calendar. It’s a punchy little route but always a lovely atmosphere and the technical T shirt and Medal are awesome as always. Thanks and looking forward to the next one xx"

"I did this for the first time last year and have been recommending it ever since. It’s definitely on my running calendar Huge thanks to all the organisers and marshals who make this such a friendly, well organised event. It should be called Smiley Bells"
Bridget
"1st time for me. Thank you to everyone for a great race experience, great route, well organised and a brilliant team of volunteers. The Marshalls were all so supportive. Thanks again "
Alan
"Superbly organised and great support from the marshals. A huge amount of effort went into it, for example painting tree roots to ensure runners didn't stumble in John Wood. Last mile was a bit gruesome though! Hope you get lots more runners next. Hopefully when there's no football on. Best wishes ."
