In short: Faultless organisation and almost perfect weather
In full: As always a great race, all went very smoothly -number and chip pick up, plenty of loos, the start pens - and the weather was kind too.
Thanks to the Brownies too for the excellent coffee and homemade biscuit to revive me afterwards!

In short: Tough but good fun
In full: Thought I had jinxed this as I entered it for the first time two years ago and it was snowed off. Worth the wait, cannot be taken too seriously as its tough but great organisation and marshalling - well done Burnham Joggers - and the weather was perfect too. Managed to stay upright, despite not having trail shoes

In short: Hot and Hilly but faultless organisation
In full: As others have said very hot and hilly but for a first time race the organisation was top notch. No queues, started on time and great finish area.
Support in the villages was great and the hosepipes very welcome

In short: Brilliantly Organised as Ever
In full: Another great Bracknell Half - thanks to all those involved - the organisers, the marshalls, those on the water stations, the children with the 'super soakers'. Found the last two miles tough going but snuck home in just under two hours so happy! And what a goody bag and it is all useful.

In short: Hillier than expected but excellent organisation
In full: Weather OK for the race itself but very wet beforehand. Faultless organisation and a lovely course despite the hills. Thanks to the marshals who pushed me out of the car park! My car now looks like its taken part in a rally.

In short: Excellent organisation and managed to get under 2 hours for the first time in 2 years!
In full: Thanks to all the organisers, marshalls and those at the water stations, an excellent race - cannot fault it. Great value too. Received my post race bottle of water from the mayor!

Hope it can find a sponsor for 2011

In short: Considering the weather and lack of training a good run
In full: Overall a good run, something to eat at the end would have been good, although the hot drink was appreciated.

Start seemed a little late and a touch shambolic but no real problems.

Thanks to the organisers, marshalls and Scouts for braving the elements

In short: Fantastic fun and brilliantly organised
In full: What can I say - really enjoyed it, very different to anything I have ever done. Organisation was like clockwork, many thanks to all involved. Even managed a decent time but took me 2K to get used to running in the dark. Some excellent outfits too.

In short: Hot and hilly but excellent organisation
In full: Great race, achieved the time I wanted. Organisation great, perhaps a Mars Bar at the end? Thanks to the army cadets who helped me remove my chip! Great atmosphere and good mix of runners and what a view of Windsor Castle from The Copper Horse
