2010 Wokingham Half-Marathon

In short: Flat HM route on closed roads, well organised
In full: baggage area at start is the only problem, I think loads of people started late, everything was well organised apart from baggage. Baggage was manned this year so that was good.

In short: Flat'ish 10K race
In full: Thanks to all the marshalls/organisers for braving the cold weather for this race, at least the rain stayed away during race.
It was windy in some areas of course but also had the wind behind in some areas.
Flat course with 3 slight inclines.
It could be a very fast course if done in April/May time for the good weather.

In short: A nice big event race to do, not much for £30 entry though!
In full: Well organised, lots of marshalls, windy at times on course but as expected on a coast run, lots of support all way round.
Baggage area was not manned, £30 entry they should have a manned baggage area.
£30 entry, basic t-shirt and medal - alot of money for very little!

In short: Flat course with little slopes, PB potential
In full: Well organised, lots of marshals..thanksc for them. No changing or baggage area at Race HQ, so a long walk to car park instead. Good medals. KM markers were painted on floor - only ones i saw were 6,7 & 8, maybe the use of signs next time as they are useful. Nice cakes. Good corse and i got a PB so i am happy....

In short: Road/Terrain 10k run, nice varied town run
In full: well organised, lots of marshals - well done to them. Route was road/terrain/footpaths, grass bit at 4k mark was bumpy! Route had varied inclines but generally flat but not a PB course. Good medal and goodie bag was spot on! Weather was too warm but can't complain as we don't get alot of it!

In short: Fast and Flat 10K on quiet roads, PB potential!
In full: First time done course and it was good, flat with 2 slight inclines and 2 downhills, good car parking, well done to marshals - lots of them, good KM markers, i noticed at end about 48-50min finished time that the finish area was packed to to finish line - maybe that needs changing with the number taking! I am happy - i knocked 2 mins off best time for about 44mins32secs on my watch! Nice medal, bar and drink! Well done!

In short: Flat course, good organisation, nice medal and JAFFA CAKES!!!!!
In full: Big entry of local runners with a few missing aswell so it has potential to be bigger next year, good course, well organised by grassroots team. Good facilities with parking and toliets at Swindon Karting. Lots of marshalls - thanks to them for braving the cold weather.
Good course, very flat but the cold weather/wind made it hard work.
Only minor point was the small finish area/gantry.
Nice Jelly Babies and Jaffa Cakes.
Looking forward to it next year.

In short: Big Hill after 3k and very challenging
In full: 1km marker was about 0.5km and the 9th km was well over a km long and 9km marker to finish was under a km. Well organised, loads of marshalls, the hills are not for the faint hearted! car trafic in car park at end of race was crowded and had to change to grass/footpath. plus someone tripped me up at start and no apology so was annoyed with that! No medal so show for a hard course. i got a medal for £6 entry at Cricklade 10k, this was £8 so not happy about that!!
