In short: Very well organised. Friendly and encouraging marshals. Liked all the special touches.
In full: When you received the instructions for this race ( great colour map of the course and good local map of parking, start and finish)it appeared that this going to be a supremely well organised event. This turned out to be the case. Top marks to the organisers.

In short: Great race, great scenery, excellent marshall support.
In full: Did this as part of my marathon training so wasn't aiming specifically for any personal best times. By my Garmin,I got in on 2:19:08 which, considering I had 3 or 4 walking breaks (planned I might add!), I'm more than happy with.
