In short: Friendly, well organised
In full: As the nearest race to my home and organised by the local club this race is an ideal way to spend a mid week evening. Bracknell Forest Runners put on a really well organised, but reasonably informal race for all levels of runner. It's already earmarked for next year (and an improvement of nearly 30 seconds on last year helps)

In short: Nice shortish race through very nice woodland
In full: This is a very pleasant race through a forest. There are some hills and the narrowness of the paths means chances of a PB are slimmer. But its great way to spend a Weds evening.

In short: Friendly mid-week race
In full: Good organisation, a pretty tough course on the forest trails with lots of short, sharp hills. A nice descent at the end. Plenty of parking at the Lookout, a goody bag with a mars bar, a souvenir and water. Overall a good value race. Will be back next year

In short: Fun midweek sport special
In full: This is a well organised, friendly race which makes good use of the splendid surroundings of Swinley Forest. This years course seemed a bit more hilly than previous years, but was none the less great fun. Entered on the day which was very smooth and had plenty of time to make my way to the start. Nice supportive atmosphere amongst the runners. would certainly come again
