In short: Very well organised race
In full: This race had huge support from the organisers and local community all along the course. The route isn't great for a p.b. with too many twists and turns and narrow places.

In short: Harder than I remembered it!
In full: Not a pretty route but brilliantly organised, good value, and lots of local support. Also a nice early start time to leave the rest of the day free. There seemed to be lots of uphill till the end of mile 8 and by then I was too tired to take advantage oft he downhill! Not an easy race.

In short: Absolutely brilliant!
In full: Bracknell you did yourselves proud this morning! Brilliant race from info on the web site pre-race, to parking and everything else involved on the day. The local people/marshalls/water stations cannot be faulted - other races I've done could learn a lot from Bracknell. Plus a generous goody bag. First time I had done the race and will hopefully get to do it again another year.

In short: Challenging in places, extremely well organised and excellent value
In full: A good mix of runners and everyone made to feel welcome. A hilly course in places, well marshalled and a welcome ice-cream van at the end! This was my third year at Bracknell, and definately back next year.

In short: A big THANK YOU to all Bracknell residents who turned out to cheer us on ...
In full: ... and to all the many marshals. A testing but pleasant and safe course plus excellent goody bag made this a special race. Thanks very much.

In short: Well organised and great value
In full: Second time run and for some reason felt much harder this time. The uphill from around miles 6 to 8 seemed to go on but maybe I'm just getting older. Great marshalls and good support. Very good value for money ane will be back next year. Weldone to all involved.

In short: Fantastic organisation
In full: A really great race. It was our first half marathon and we found the organisation and marshalls brilliant. The course is much more hilly than expected but maybe that's just my fitness levels.
Special thanks to all the marshalls. They really encouraged you at all time.

In short: Brilliantly Organised as Ever
In full: Another great Bracknell Half - thanks to all those involved - the organisers, the marshalls, those on the water stations, the children with the 'super soakers'. Found the last two miles tough going but snuck home in just under two hours so happy! And what a goody bag and it is all useful.
