An excellent race! Really well organised. Lovely, friendly volunteers. A good selection of post-race goodies. Decent medal. Good amount of support out on the course and an excellent 3:30 pacer.

My first marathon. Really enjoyed it. Very well organised, loads of support from staff and people out on the streets. Plenty of tables to grab the essentials with plenty of people to hand out, no trouble getting anything. Recommend it to anyone thinking of doing a marathon. 10/10, will do it again in future. Thank You to all involved
