In short: Always enjoyable!!!
In full: I've only missed one Bracknell half since 2001 and always look forward to it. It has a few steady hills but nothing too bad and gives you chance of a Pb. Nice finish behind the Arts Centre.

In short: Great event, great marshalls and organisation
In full: Third time I've run this event and just as enjoyable (even if first time after a marathon!). As usual marshalls very good and very encouraging despite the weather from about mile 9. Torrential rain didn't dampen spirits as much as it could have done and there was a decent crowd at the finish encouraging the runners in. Quintiles deserve thanks for their sponsorship - good goodie bag etc, really appreciate both the medal and a t-shirt, great value.

In full: Excellent organisation, good atmosphere, nice medal! Tougher course than some... er... undulating ones! And given it is Bracknell, the route does it's best to avoid the dross. Good challenging race! :)
