In short: Excellent organisation, great marshalling, superb value, would certainly recommend
In full: Organisation was one of the best, the marshalls were fantastic, good route, great location for race start and finish and a great medal, t-shirt & goody bag. The rain, thunder and lightening was interesting (obviously out of everyones control)....at one point I couldn't see where I was going with all the rain so thank you to the marshalls who stood through it all and directed us to the finish line!

In short: Very good
In full: Organisation was second to none coupled with a loudspeaker announcer that you could actually understand. Loads of water stations and sponges, lots of marshals and helpers that all knew their job. Then a gooody bag with jelly babys, a tee shirt, a medal and a lucozade!! need i go on?!?!?!?

In short: Saw a different side of Bracknell today, was that really the place that is home to the world worst shopping precinct and immaculately planned ring road??? Top race, nice to be off the roads and have a few twists and turns...

In short: A good value, very well organised race
In full: A very well organised race, with plenty of water staions and enthusiastic volunteers. Facilities at start were good with car parks close to the start and plenty of toilets. Not great scenery, but I wasn't really expecting much. Some interesting inclines around miles 5-7, with short descents. Last couple of miles through woodland were pleasant and I managed to get around before the finish got too slippery. Nice goody bag. Will be back next year.
