In short: Nice scenic race
In full: This is my first Shinfield 10. Overall a good race. Well organised (as are most Reading Roadrunner races)
It would be nice to have chip timing and a medal-As advertised. Like Muttley found the first 2k very congested
Also for non-locals parking is not good (although we were pre-warned of the lack of parking)
Overall a really good race great crowds and a nice route but definitely some thought needs to go into the parking and chiptimitrn

In short: Very good value race
In full: I wasn't in the mood for this race this morning - it was cold and wet and I was grumpy! But it cheered me up - a nice route, varied with road, path and trail, lots of downhill and although not a PB for me, a very respectable 47:30. My only gripe is they said I would get a medal and I got a mug. But it's quite a nice mug. Well done Reading Roadrunners1

In short: As good as ever
In full: The fact this was my 6th time at this race says it all really. Well organised, good atmosphere and a fair course make this a lovely small village race and a credit to Reading Road Runners. The course is quick, just a couple of minor uphill drags but nothing too drastic, although the woodchip section in the 9th km was hard work, but definitely preferable to running through the mud bath I would assume would have been there without it. Set a new PB, the 4th time I've done it at Shinfeld, so see you next year.

In short: A nice day out
In full: As always, an efficient job by Reading Roadrunners. The course is fast but a little congested at the start for midpackers like me. Good facilities, good atmosphere, somewhere to stow baggage, well-organized event. I would have preferred a medal to a mug but that's a matter of taste. I'll be back next year.

In short: There is no single thing that makes this race stand out but, as a package, it's excellent.
In full: I thoroughly enjoyed this run (and not just because it's 1 mile from my house!). The organisation was good, the route was pretty scenic (especially when you consider the fact that it's only just outside Reading). The stewards were helpful and encouraging, and the local support was good.
My 7 year old enjoyed the kids' race and fully appreciated the fact that he got a medal even though he (i mean, i) arrived too late for registration - thankyou!
The kids also enjoyed the May Day fete so, all in all, an enjoyable morning.
Less wind next year, please!

In short: A lovely race, I was just very slow today for this one
In full: A lovely organised race. Locals cheering all the time.
Just a shame too many in the way listening to music... This probably does not happen at the front of the field
