Facilities at the stadium were really good but navigating the place was tricky. It would’ve been better if there were signs pointing to toilets, bag drop, start line etc.

It would also have been better if the different waves were given a time to get ready into the pens. Everyone was ready at 9 am but the final wave didn’t leave until 9:20.

The route was okay. I did feel for the full marathoners as the route looped from the start/finish line. Rather de-moralising!!
