The race was very well organised. A smaller event that was more personalised than many of the larger, corporate events. Scenery was very beautiful, drinks points at suitable intervals. The only reason it did not get a five star is that the course had parts to it where the paths were very narrow and you had to stop to allow other runners through which was not ideal - I accept that you cannot have lots of space all the time but it was a bit challenging on the day but overall I would say an event that other runners should attend 😊

A lovely marathon along the Windsor Thames path. It's flat, but can be quite hard going, particularly towards the end of the race! Worth a go.
