In short: Excellent PB potential
In full: The only downside is the exposure, so the wind can cause a bit of a problem on the second lap, I am sure that if there is no wind this could become a very fast course. Good encouragement from the marshalls. I look forward to the next race in June.

In short: A great race with a great atmosphere. Fantastic PB potential
In full: A great race that provides great PB potential although the wind off the reservoir at 7k-8k was a bit testing on tired legs. The atmosphere was great, really supportive and friendly. My only complaint would be that there is no chipping. I had a different time to that recorded. In accordance with the official results on the website I also came third but did not get the third place prize..not sure what happened there!! Overall though, really good and will be doing it again

In short: What a gem of a race. Unique. Very peaceful atmosphere. Flat, traffic free. Great views of Windsor castle. A 'must do' run
In full: This run appeals to all runners. It is fast and flat (PB potential). Also ideal for beginners. Marshalls very friendly and encouraging. Good atmosphere - loved running round the reservoir. I am looking forward to the next runs in June and July. I hope this will be an annual event.

In short: Good value evening race on a flat, fast course
In full: Pleasant course, friendly organisation, slick evening race.
Only downside to it as a PB course is that it's a bit exposed to the wind.
