In short: No good for spectators in the rain
In full: This the first time in 7 years i've not run. What a day to pick to spectate. Weather was dreadful. However, was very well organised, stadium was electric, was nice the see the winners come through the line. Will be back next year. Well done to those who run.

In short: Underpasses need to be missed out
In full: Like everybody else the funnel start, underpass at the start will need to be sorted out. Got stuck behind a motorised chair in the park towards the finish.
The mix of the thames and the nice houses make it. Does have pb potential, i think small bottles at the water stations would have helped. Car parking and actual location of the start perfect.

In short: Very well organised, well done.
In full: I had been asked to be a pacer for the 1.57. This was nerve racking as having to run at a constant pace. We managed to cross the line in 1.57.09. The support from the other runners, spectators and marshalls was fantastic. Very well organised. Great views.

In short: Flat, fast, great location.
In full: For a first event, well done was really well run. The route was very nice, lovely running next to the Thames, Bray wow. The rain didn't help with collecting your bags, this can't be helped. The end was well organised. Free parking in a multi storey was a welcome from the rain. Might need to think about small water bottles in next years race.

In short: Great race, shame about the finish line set up
In full: Got asked to do this race, had been warned of the hill at 9k. The course is undulating. The set up of the start was very good, the ending was some what very unexpected and the wait for the really well thought out goody bag was not what I'm used to. Needs some more space for next year. Even when leaving, loads still waiting to collect there bag. No finish line clock. This needs to be addressed.

In full: Really happy with it all, last ran in 97, so remember parts of the course. Can't say enough for the St John's. Only used once for a quick rub, but the work they put in was fantastic.

In short: Hills, hills, hills
In full: Very well organised, great marshalling, drinks in the right places. Just reading some of the others about the farm entrance, this is the only negative part of the course. Like the clif bars at the end. Nice touch.

In short: Slower than previous years
In full: I ran this after being ill for 3 weeks. very slow time. However, the changing, toilets and catering were slightly disappointing from the previous years, the start and finish were in different places. Could do the at least one energy drinks station.
