In short: Friendly, encouraging race
In full: My first 1/2 marathon. Was pleased with time which was helped by encouraging locals (especially the kids with jelly babies!) and marshalls. Nice friendly race. Glad it started early because of the weather.

In full: Only my second half marathon so not much to compare this race with but I had a great time and will be back next year trying to improve my time. Thanks very much to all the marshalls and helpers at the water stations the sponges were particularly appreciated as was a t-shirt that fits.

In short: Enjoyable race
In full: Always enjoy this race, even though this year I was over a half hour slower & in some considerable pain. The finish behind the Arts Centre in their 'back garden' is good for familes & supporters. Weather has also been good for the past 3 years.

In short: impressive, Bracknell has pretty spots. Serious toilet issue, missed meeting friends & warming up. But loved the 9am start, lots of water/sponge stations & marshalls so encouraging.
In full: Apart from the toilets, every aspect of this race was excellent. Found the end a little windy & kept thinking the finish was just around the next corner. But a PB & will be back next yr. Harvest Ride must be the longest road - EVER
