May the 4th run
So I booked a running bug race through a 3rd party site, and that went quite wrong. I had never done a virtual race before, and wasn't sure what I was doing, but running bugs site is easy to use, so managed to work it out. Then during postage someone pinched my medal and I got a damaged, empty envelope... So contacted Running Bug, and although the issue with royal mail was not theirs to fix, they kindly dealt with it, and sent me a new medal. I had many problems from the 3rd party giving me wrong info, but once I dealt with running Bug directly I had helpful and friendly service. I would suggest to book direct with Running Bug, as they have full control of your booking from day one, and this will make it ho smoothly. I was unlucky to have issues with various things with my booking, but Andrew was quick to contact the 3rd party site and sort it all out for me, hence the 5 star. Sometimes things just go wrong, and its no ones fault, but the measure of a company is how they fix those problems, and Running Bug were brilliant. Will use them again, booking directly with them.
Great organisation
Great organisation, when you enter an event the communication is fantastic, they post the relevant information and medals out straight away. I have never had any problems everything is simple and smooth
Great organisation
Great organisation, when you enter an event the communication is fantastic, they post the relevant information and medals out straight away and there's no pressure to complete the events or where and how you do it, will definitely be entering more this year
