Ran this with a couple of first timers and it was a perfect little event for the to cut their teeth in.

Starting and finishing in Bracknells new Lexicon shopping centre it took a loop of the town through pathways, parks and housing estates. It was an interesting course tbh. No roads were closed for it relying totally on Marshall supervision to get us around and for the most part they did a really good job.

crowd support was good in places sparse in others but I really enjoyed the event. Well worth the £24 entry.

This was only my 2nd ever half marathon and I even managed a PB. For only £24 this event was great value for money. The race number and chip for my running shoes was posted to me about 10 days before the event. The start and finish was in the town centre and a local car park provided free parking for all day which was only a couple of minutes walk away. There was a tent to leave bags and the organisers did say not to leave valuables as this wasn't secured or managed.

The course was pretty much all off road on either pavements or footpaths with various pacers. With no road closures I guess the costs were kept down. There were mile markers throughout the course and 8 water stations with water in either plastic or polysterene cups with sponges. Cups instead of bottles weren't great but again it kept costs down. The sponges were a nice touch.

As the race started at 9am it took a while for the public to wake up and come out to support but as it was such a lovely warm day in the end there was a lot of support. The jelly babies offered certainly helped. The course was tough with lots of turns and bends and plenty of underpasses meaning a few "mounds of opportunity" (i.e. hills and inclines). Marshalls supported us well with regular words of encouragement. The course was a lot more scenic that I realised Bracknell could ever be.

The finish was in the new Lexicon of the town centre. Supporters were behind barriers in a covered area which was packed. The noise was immense which meant even after 12.9 miles I had a sprint finish left. At the end you were given a good bag containing a nice medal, Mars bar, bottle of Lucozade and water, running t-shirt. Would I recommend this event or did it again? Definately.

This is a very well organised race, great turnout and awesome local support all the way round.

It's not the most scenic of runs, a lot of which is beside main roads, but it's a good fast course (surprising because there's a long, big old hill right in the middle bit).

For me though the fact that local folks turn out in droves, and in good and bad weather, just makes this an excellent race.

Starts and finishes in the beautiful surroundings of South Hill Arts Centre, possibly one of the nicest final 1/4 miles of a HM I’ve done. The majority is run through Bracknell town centre and housing estates - not as picturesque but good local support. I managed a sub-2 hour without too much training so a reasonably fast course. Would recommend.
