In short: A well designed course with great organisation
In full: It rained and yet it was still wonderful. A quick course that was obviously designed by a running club as the ups were gradual and the downs encouraging. Very well organised, lovely tea and cake at the end and lots of loos available. A good turn out and wide field makes this a good one for beginners. What more can we ask for?... well some sunshine for next year please.

In short: As always very well organised by RRR. I love this race as it statrs my 10k season.
In full: I did not mind the drizzle and not cold once you got moving. I always just feel sorry for the fete organisers as most times I have run here it rains.

Good course and fast finish over the last 1K. I will be back next year and expect RRR to sort the rain out!

In short: Excellent race . Well organised and good support despite the rain
In full: A good course with one or two hills but flat enough for PB territory. Well organised with very friendly marshalls and plenty of support out throughout the course.

In short: Well organised, flat-ish, fast race-well done RRR!
In full: This was my 3rd time at Shinfield and my 1st time over the changed course. I much prefer this course now, scenic and with no scary climbs. Well organised and cheerfully marshalled, thanks to all involved in such cold, damp conditions.Mugs? Medals? I'm just glad to finish!

In short: Nice scenic race
In full: This is my first Shinfield 10. Overall a good race. Well organised (as are most Reading Roadrunner races)

It would be nice to have chip timing and a medal-As advertised. Like Muttley found the first 2k very congested

Also for non-locals parking is not good (although we were pre-warned of the lack of parking)

Overall a really good race great crowds and a nice route but definitely some thought needs to go into the parking and chiptimitrn
