In full: A great race, well organised and a decent goody bag at the end with a medal and t-shirt. Long stretches with no supporters watching but where they did turn out they were excellent. The parents and especially the children at the numerous drinks stations where all cheering a clapping and competing with each other to hand out drinks and sponges. This was my second year at Bracknell and I will definitely be back 2011. Thanks and well done to all who helped organise a really good event.

In full: A really good event. Fast course with only one longish hill between miles 8 & 9. Good size field so plenty of room. Good support for type of event and very well marshalled (Thanks to all the volunteers). Good parking. Nice medal, T shirt and goody bag. Great value for money. Would do again and recommend to others.

In short: Actually rather nice !
In full: Yes it's run mostly round the streets and underpasses of Bracknell, but some of it is suprisingly pretty - lots of greenery - and it meant a good smattering of crowd support most of the way around.
It was a bit hot for me and the mile long hill at about half way made my life a misery but it was my own fault for going off too fast!
A nice rice, good sized field, well organised, cheap and a suprisingly good goody bag.
