In short: Great race !
In full: My 3rd year running at market Drayton and gets better year on year ! Great goodie bag at the end and really well organised and marshalled all around the course. The start could have done with some anticipated finish time sections as spent the beginning weaving in between slower runners but other than that was a great race !

In full: What a superb event. My 1st time , so wasn't sure what to expect. If you like off road, with some hills both short and some tougher ones including the famous 'jack and jill' hill. Then this is for you, and you'll get ya feet wet too running through a couple of streams. Short little hill at the end to test your stamina. Absolutely loved it . Thank you

In short: Superb
In full: This was my second marathon having done Brighton 4 weeks previously & it was excellent - superb organisation, brilliant scenery, the course is fairly challenging (that's a positive!) It's run mostly on country lanes that are open to traffic but I must have been passed by about 10 cars all day.
Local support excellent, all in all a superb race - I'm proud to say this is my local marathon & will definitely be entering next year!

In short: PB certainty here if you push out. Great event - has made my year 'cos I got a sub 45
In full: A PB course this. I had a naff nights sleep but was defiant - I wasn't going to let sleep deprivation snatch from me what I have been desperate for these last few years - a sub 45 10K.
Got to the great venue for chip pickup. Ample facilities and plenty of parking. We had a good squad out and all of us knew that the course lended itself to PB making (being flat).
Weather was perfect - cool breeze and sun.
I set off fast (I thought too fast as half way I was puffed), but surprised myself when I came in with a split time of 22.43. My fellow team runners caught up and helped me push out to bring in a faster 2nd split to come in at 44.18 (cracked my goal of a sub 45).
The organization was slick, with a well signed route and plenty of encouraging marshals. Loads of general supporters dotted the route too and given that it was twice round the circuit, plenty of cheering from families kept the pressure on to dig deep and push on. One water station on the route - well placed, also one at the end.
I would have perhaps liked a banana and squash drink to compliment a great looking medal.
A big thank you to organizers, marshals, ambulance staff, cub scouts and supporters. Also thanks to the venue as well.
We will be back to try and shave off more time.

In short: Scenic running, wonderful crowds, great organisation
In full: A great race. I loved it.
Beautiful scenery- fields or rapeseed, sheep and lambs, blue sky and clouds, what more could you ask for? Maybe a few less hills! But with other runners and spectators egging you on, the hills don't seem so bad after all :-).
The organisation is fantastic, the marshals do a great job.
In short, faultless. If you pick only one marathon next year, I would recommend this one. Just make sure there is a place left for me please :-)
