In short: Fantastic - got encouragement from every marshall
In full: This is an excellent event. The stadium start encourages a great feeling of cameradery which continues throughout the race. The organisation is the best I've seen in years. I will definitely be back next year. 80% down to the organisation, and 20% down to the flat, flat, flat profile of the course.

In short: If you're thinking of doing a marathon and miss out on the FLM, then make this you next xhoice.
In full: Its hard to say too little about this event, the organisation is smashing, the marshalls and stewards are the best i've come across in all the marathons i've run this year (and thats quite a few). Camaraderie is great, its like everyone wants to be everyones friend and get every single person to fulfill their goals !
Looking forward to it for 2005.
