In short: Good weather, not too crowded
In full: Agree that this is a better run than GNR as their is far less people in it approx 1000 plenty of room to run and definitely excellant pb potential, noticed couple of good pubs 5-6 mile in!!!

Marldon Apple Pie 6 by Outer Space Girl
| | Overall score | | 40% | | Would you do it again? | | Maybe | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 60% | | PB potential | | 20% | | Atmosphere | | 40% | | Organisation | | 20% | | Value | | 60% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 20% |
In short: Very, very tough - no for faint-hearted. This is the first race I have ever had to walk in!
In full: Very hot day and only one water station - needed at least a second. No first aid to be seen and marshals seemed quite few. Nice touch with the wine for doing Totnes 10K but the Totnes race was much the better - nicer route and organisation was in a different league. I might be back but hope that things will be learnt from the first year of running this route. Personally, I prefered the road route of previous years.

In short: OK run - long slog along side the main road & back again, but gets prettier in the countryside.
In full: Marshalling a bit weak - took a wrong turn at one point and the finish was not clear.

In short: Lovely scenery, a very enjoyable race
In full: Nice to go to a big race that had parking so well organised (well, I suppose it's there already!) so no awful queues to get in or out. Bit confusing at the end with those raffle ticket things. But a nice atmosphere and a nice race, and definitely one to do again. Maybe a few more loos next time?

In short: For a first time marathon run I was definitely encouraged to do it again.A marshall at about mile 22 shouted to me*you can do it,I can see it in your eyes".Whether he did or not these words kept going round my head like a mantra.See you next year.

In full: First time marathon so was unsure pre-race. However atmosphere was great, all the runners had a friendly diposition, the route was enjoyable and the marshalls encouraged you all the way. Total respect to the guy handing out large cups of tea at the finish. Just what was needed! Will be back for more again and again

In short: Lovely muddy wooded tracks,but for some people clearly no reminder of trail in info. Really disappointed about short distance as I was trying to see my improvement. Must have been nearly 1K short. Discount for legoland made it worthwhile.

In short: challenging but fun
In full: very hilly in places, loads of water stations, quite good support considering the rural setting, need more loos at the start although had use of posh ones in Nationwide building, must have a better goodie bag next year, and could do with some refreshment stall at the end for hot drinks etc
