In short: Really nice for a first race
In full: My first ever half and one I hold dearly. It's a very cold time of year to run but you feel warm inside when you complete it. Crowds were great considering the temperature. Certainly a good one for beginners - I've been running ever since!

In short: A race worth doing only a few ups but definately a fast course. Race organisation was very good and nice to provide free tea/coffee after as it was bl**dy cold.

In short: Great PB potential
In full: I've run at Wokingham for the past 3 years, and have managed PBs in each one. Bit of a long trek to and from car park, perhaps closer parking?

In short: Parking Parking Parking
In full: I cant believe I did the Wokingham 16 miler!!!! 13 mile race plus 3 miles to the parking. Put the loop somewhere in the middle rather than at the beginning if possible. Great course.

In short: Could do better
In full: The race is only spoilt by the shortage of toilets and the nasty bottle neck in the first mile(twice)If it were not for this PBs would flow freely.I managed to take 8 mins of last years time.

In short: Good fun, well organised, do it again but.. maybe it was the time I finished but couldn't find the water/drinks at the finish other than the long queue to buy stuff.
