In short: Nice event, will look to come back next year.
In full: Really enjoyed this event. The atmosphere created by the runners and spectators was excellent. I thought the band playing throughout the race were great and very motivational, so a big thank you to them. Dorney is a fast flat track, ideal for beginners. For me, running in yesterday's cool wet conditions was enjoyable but suspect it was not so great for the spectators. I'd like to thank all of the spectators who provided great support during this event.

In short: Wonderful event, look forward to next year's race.
In full: The marshalls were excellent, the race route and atmosphere were great and the organisation of this event went very smoothly. Nice medal and T-Shirt too. A big thank you to ERC and all the volunteers who helped make this a great day for me. I very nearly missed out as I got lost on the way to the staduim. Thankfully the organisers kindly let me start the race 10 minutes after the official start and although I spent the first couple of miles chasing the back end of the field I was able to join the main field half way through the race and experience the wonderful stadium finish (managing a PB in the process). Having done this race I know I would have missed out on a great experience if it were not for the kind consideration of the organisers. I'll make sure I get there ultra early next year.

In short: Great event, looking forward to next year's one.
In full: Everything about this event was spot on. The race route, atmosphere and organisation were all excellent. This was the first multi-terrain race I have entered and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. A big thank you to all who participated and especially to the marshalls, who I thought were excellent.

In short: Superb event and look forward to next year's race.
In full: The organisation, atmosphere and race route were all excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed the race. The hill at the start was hard work. However, once I got over that bit, I was glad to have done it and really enjoyed the rest of the race. A big thank you to all the organisers and marshalls who were great.

In short: Great atmosphere and a very enjoyable route to run.
In full: I very much enjoyed this race. I thought the race atmosphere was great and I liked the route that was chosen. I was probably lucky to be in the first third of the field at the start, finding I could run the 10K at a comfortable consistent pace with minimal interruption from the vast quantity of people taking part. I would recomend this run to anyone who wants to enjoy running in London and take in a great atmosphere. The race route is flat but I think the sheer number of runners would make it difficult to achieve a PB. For me, all in all a very enjoyable experience.

In full: I'd like to especially thank the 60 minute Datchet Dasher pacers who were brilliant all the way round. Without them I don't think I would have been able to achieve a PB. Hopefully the pacers will be back again next year. All in all a great day, this is an event I would recommend to anyone.
