In short: Very flat fast course
In full: Really flat fast course, although from mid pack back some hold ups in the first mile. Well marshalled, and generally well organised, although finish was a bit jammed with people finishing and others trying to make their way back the other way to baggage tent, (which was itself a right scramble). Also needs a lot more toilets next year please !!! Overall well worth it though.

In short: A great reason to leave the house on a wet February morning!
In full: I'm Wokingham born and bred, but, amazingly, this was my first Wokingham half. It's definitely worth getting out of bed for! First mile was a bit congested, but free running after that. Marshalls and supporters around the course were fantastic - thank you for braving the rain! A great half for racing snakes and fun-runners alike.
