I may well do this one - it fits in nicely to my marathon training plan for Stratford in April. Thanks for the tip Mutley, I'll get my entry in pronto. How hilly is it?
Argh, my least favourite type then, I prefer a few hills to keep the interest up. Only prob is it's about the only one not too far from home in February so it will have to be done.
Puffin1 - I too am doing this as part of my training for Stratford. It's the day before my birthday, so the plan is to run a PB then drink a bottle of Jim Beam, happy days Glad to hear it's flat.
GMN - what's your aim for Stratford? I'm also going to do the White Horse half as warm up, only prob is next year it's only 2 weeks before Stratford - oh, and it's also flat and windswept!!
Does anyone have any tips for where to park? A lot of the reviews I've read talk about a long walk back to the car park after the race.
"the plan" is to run sub 3 at Stratford. I have a lot to do (last years time was 3:23), but there is a long way to go. So I'm looking at 1 hour 23 for this half in February. If I can achieve that I'm on course. I've also entered a couple of 10ks and the Kilomathon in March. What about you puffin1, what's your target?
GMN - Stratford will be my first fll mara so I've no bench mark and am aiming for a sub 4 hour and will see how it goes. For Wokingham I am aiming for a PB, so below 1.49.

Hello Muttley,
I`ll have to check my accounts to see if they have cashed the cheque.
Rather liked this one last year.
Ah-hah, fancy meeting you on a local race thread Mr K!
I feel the 2010 event may be a bit cooler than this year's
Im in, missed it last year due to an injury.
Puffin - according to my memory the roads over the motorway are positively mountainous!!
I'm in for 2010!!!!
I'm in!
All I can say is......EEEEEEEEK! With a BIG *WIBBLE*!

Forgot to ask: Anyone know of a cheap hotel (with car park) to stay over the night before?
I entered a few minutes ago and my legs have turned to jelly now.
I did that one last year. There was a massive puddle as we went through Frimley Lodge and as soon as my feet got wet they blistered.

So, where is everyone, or is it just us few entered?
I entered over the weekend.
Am fairly local but have managed to run Wokingham only once. Enjoyed it when I did it, so time to give it another go.
At last?
After all these years...
You and I...
MEET?!?!?
Jj - I'll be there too so don't get over excited.
<gasp!> Are you in for this one Jj?
I shall look out for your svelte and feline likeness ... as long as you don't mind looking out for a tatty moth-eaten wheezing old hound ...
Can't wait.
erm...no.
