In short: A great race to run
In full: It was so hot but managed to complete my first marathon. Liked having the relay running alongside the main event as all runners encouraged each other as they passed.
Regular water stations, marshals superb as were the people of Jersey who turned out to encourage us through the heat.Shame it was too hot for many who DNF.
Finishing First Marathon 10/10
Running through the cheering crowd of runners at the first few crossovers 10/10
Shouts of come on Serpie on the way round 10/10
Cameraderie of other runners pacing and encouraging each other across the line 10/10
Everyone on the beach cheering us along the final 2 miles 10/10
Police motorbike that stayed with Lizzie all the way to the finish 10/10
Organiser and marshals chering in Lizzie, last finisher 10/10
Lizzie for carrying on through the heat while others stopped 10/10

In short: Well organised scenic marathon
In full: Growing marathon which is not flat. This year it was hot but plenty of water and Powerade available. Some nice scenery but also road traffic as roads are not closed but well marshalled. Encouraging locals and marshall help you along. Enthusiatic crowd at finish . Good quality medal and tech. T-shirt. There is also popular team 5 stage relay race run at the same time - if like me you have to drop out, drop out at a relay point and get a quick transfer back to the start/finish area. I was DNF but my wife got a PB - c'est la vie!!

In short: A great marathon course with atmosphere.
In full: A race designed to avoid traffic.One long four mile hill that is steep past lakes and autumns greenery.Inspirational scenary through a theraputic woodland that takes you all the way back down that steep hill with an eight mile decline between 12-21.The finish is along the beach and fast times are ensured as long as the wind abates.Excellent water stations 1/4 litre bottles of highland spring were appreciated.
