Great
Great cause. Excellent organisation. Excellent first aid, (which I personally sampled). Slight overcrowding at the start, which might have been reduced by splitting 5k and 10k into two, with start times split by 10-15 mins. To improve financial donations, put your bank details &/or Just Giving advice on website. Thank you, great event.

First ever 5k - Thanks you Marshalls
Thanks to the event organisers, my first race and it was well organised and communicated, nice course and friendly people - special thanks to warm-up lady and MC guy!
Bogna Lesniewicz
Amazing experience for the first timer like me!
Great work everyone, it was so well organised, good communication prior to race, and what a lovely idea to use the garden hose to cool us off near the 5th and 10th km! Thank you
John Monahan
Great run
Thanks for a great run, appreciate all the effort in the organisation and running the event today. Thanks to everyone involved, organisers and Marshalls.

SAM RUN IS GOOD
Good Race
Anette Crick
Friendly local race
A well organised and friendly race. It would benefit from a 9.30am start as was extremely hot on the exposed parts of the route.
Daniel Rose
A really enjoyable local run for a good cause
The event is always brutally hot in June, potentially an earlier start time would be better, especially for some of the slower 10k runners who are finishing at mid-day... On the hottest day of the year... (Mad dogs and Englishmen I guess!). However the woodland sections make a refreshing break from the heat, so could more of ep woodland be used , because these sections are really nice to run through.

Excellent
Colin Alborough
Lovely event. Thank you.
Great job! Very happy. Would you consider promoting a "secure bike park". Binfield use the adjacent tennis courts and you have similar (that was unused during the event). There were loads of cars on the field and Im sure locals like me would love to bike over?
Well done.

Weather was nuts!!

Brilliant morning
Well done to all the volunteer marshalls.
Maybe each marshall needed to have a bin bag to help with the water cups especially if the runner drinks slowly.
Maybe in hot weather like today, there should have been more water stations --- maybe at each 1.5 km which can be used or not by the runners.
Brilliant day --- well done all.
Paul Brett
Lovely
I was with the 5k tailwalker for the whole way, and she was great to chat to and really helped me.
Hannah Mullins
Second time doing this run. Well organised and very friendly marshals. Look forward to doing it again next year.
Dean Sharp
Well organised but very hot!
Maybe push the 10k an hour earlier as it was incredibly hot during the run!

GREAT FOR THE FAMILY
This was our first time attending the Bracknell Samaritans run- unfortunately we didn’t have additional childcare to enable a parent to run the actual event, but nonetheless, it was great to attend and support, and take part in the kids race.
It was very well organised and signposted on site. All the volunteers were fantastic. Very friendly and helpful, and the addition of amazing medals for the kids- we will definitely be back next year. X
