In short: very good marathon course. Mildly undulating with great atmosphere. would do it again.
In full: Thoroughly enjoyed this marathon. Route interesting-I've no idea how organisers managed to close so many major roads to cars:well done organisers. Nice medal and long sleeved technical shirt and great goody bag. Atmosphere and support along route-a very well done to everyone in Chester. You've done yourself proud!
Three quibbles:
1. horrendous car park queue before start
2. Needs directional signs within racecourse
3. Marshals within racecourse were really friendly but only new info relating to their station and couldn't answermore general questions.
However, I don't want this to detract from what was a great event and would absolutely recommend it as one to do :-)

With bigger field this could be a very special event
free training runs and seminars available if live near chester
Great setting at chester racecourse.
Not as flat as the website suggests. mildly undulating
