In short: Well organised, great support from marshalls, traffic free and running the lap of the Millenium Stadium at the end will be something I remember for a long time . Presentation of prizes could have been better organised.
In full: First time I have done this and I dreaded having to contend with meandering shoppers, buggies, traffic etc but the route was brilliant - no shopping areas and police and marshalls at every road crossing, smiling and cheering despite the rain. Having watched the organisers trying to put a carpet down over the cobbles in a gale force wind on Saturday I understood why there wasn't one! None of us liked the wet cobbles and grasscrete, but worth it to go through the Castle grounds. Not sure why they don't send the marathon off first so the marshalls might have a slightly shorter day, but I found it encouraging to be overtaking half marathon runners from about 5 miles to half way. I don't mind 2 laps - at least you have a mental picture of progress second time round. Only criticism was that slow marathon finishers found themselves mixed up in the presentation, which was held just through the finish line. It was too long to wait- bad enough for us marathon runners, but the half marathon winners must have had to wait about 4 hours plus!

In short: Well-organised, glorious weather, shame about my race plan really!! Recommended
In full: What can you say? The weather was ideal, the scenery is beautiful, tho' not as many loch views as you would imagine, the 'flat/undulating' classification belies some short, sharp uphills, some tough downhills and a couple of killers between 17 and 21 miles.
Be warned, the fast start can fool you - badly. Trust me, I know. This was painful.
On the whole, though, Baxters do an excellent job of organisation and the support through the villages and once back into Inverness is terrific.
Do it!!

In full: The weather could have made this a hideous run but for the most part this was an enjoyable marathon. The race was made for me by the wonderful support of fellow runners and by the marshalls who smiled on despite the deteriorating conditions. Stadium finish was magic!
