I've done The Reading Half Marathon a few times now. always loved it, whatever the weather. Organisation very good, parking & buses. Crowds amazing non stop from start to finish, including local bands and choirs. also a little tipple if you fancy. Never seen so many jelly babies, locals so generous. Water, Lucozade & Gel stations. Well organised starting pens. Roads closed. Strategic toilets enroute. Then at the end The Madejski Stadium finish...!!! my time was much faster than anticipated. shall be definitely signing up for next years...
