In short: One lap wonder :)
In full: I did the 20 last year and was back to do the 10 this year. Efficient, well-organised race. Field is big enough to warrant the chips which are provided. Mile markers were generally accurate (although I think 6-7 was long). Goody bag full of food which is a BIG plus after a race. Marshalls were friendly and drinks stations efficient. The club clearly go to a lot of effort to put this on and the race deserves to be successful.

Only real gripe is the toilets which were old-fashioned non-flushing portaloos...

In short: Thanks to all involved at RRR
In full: I regularly run the course route with club mates as a training run on quiet country roads, the first 5 miles are relatively flat with a few inclines in the next 5 miles. First time running the actual race (20) so big thank you to all the enthusiastic marshals who became even more vocal when thanked for their efforts/time & people manning the water stations.

Lots of support at the 2/9/12/19 mile crossroads junction - my family were there which perked me up each time we passed. Each and every runner was incredibly friendly, made for a lovely atmosphere where the course was lacking supporters.

I agree with Weevil - the guy practicing his golf swing scared me a bit - was glad he was gone on the second lap!

I had an excellent morning out in Bramley and would definitely do this again next year (just don't tell my legs) - it's 10 minutes from my front door so it would be rude not to! Well organised at the start and finish, great goody bag and a medal. Well done RRR, see you next year!

In short: great 20 miler training run for marathons. Pretty flat.
In full: Very well organised race. Was surpised how busy it was. I liked doing 2 laps of 10 miles and felt like the first lap was a warm up and the second a race! Lots of drinks stations and plenty of marshalls, thanks to the organisors. Quite a long walk to the overflow car park (1 long cold mile) - will bring warm clothes for after next time!

In short: Great organisation, excellent support from enthusiastic marshalls, no killer hills
In full: My first time at Bramley, my first 20 miler in preparation for London and a wake up call that I've got more work to do!

Couldn't have asked for more enhusiastic support from the marshalls. Appreciated the frequency of water stations as well.

In full: The 20 miler is perfect for all those running a spring marathon. It provides a great opportunity test your marathon race pace in race conditions.

In full: Have done this a few times now.....still the same excellent race that it's always been. 20 mile course is 2 laps around quiet country roads. Excellent and very encouraging marshalling. Thanks to everyone involved. Great goody bag!

In short: Thanks to Reading Road Runners for well organised race.
In full: The Bramley 20 mile is generally a well run event, and today was no exception. Good organisation from the car parks through to the start, marshalling and finish. Thanks to all who helped, and a PB for me too, so very happy!

In full: A very well organised race, marshals did a great job in cool conditions, sorry I was too out of breath to thank you as I went past. An unexpected PB was the icing on the cake!
