← Water Of Life Half Marathon & 10k

This race starts from Bisham Abbey the National Sports Center used for many England sports teams. It’s a lovely setting, a pleasant course which crosses the River Thames on a couple of occasions. The first part of the race is along a tarmac lane before you reach the paths next to the river and across a grassed area. 

 

Although a reasonably flat route, there may be flatter ones to choose if you are looking to beat a personal best. You can still run a quick time, but do have to contend with a few bridges, oh, not forgetting the odd kissing gate which of course slows you down as do the bridges.  In fact, I managed a PB here!  I would describe the race as enjoyable, along the River Thames with scenery to take in along the way, what’s not to like. The medal was quite large with a stuck on insert in the centre. I feel it could have been a little better.
