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

This was a my first Marathon. The route was well planned and had friendly and helpful, event’s support people well placed out.
Bottled water was handed out when you needed it.
I felt supported and looked after right through to the end.
It was an amazing experience, I would love to do this again.
