In short: Got to experinece this one!
In full: Spine tingling support! Great Expo! Very emotional race but found it too crowded to run in a straight line - didnt thin out at all! Superb marshalls, first aiders, water stations, and crowds! Very special event. Superb sight seeing trip round our capital!
VERY very disappointed with the One size fits all finisher T Shirt - bet it dosent fit many!! Such a shame as I would love to wear it with pride!Fab medal.
Theres something about this race that makes it so special.

In short: Special 'event' race that has to be done
In full: My first ever marathon. Fantastic race, but congested especially around the Docklands/Isle of Dogs where it felt very warm! Organisation was really smooth, and very impressed how fast I was 'processed' through the finish. Somewhat male orientated goody bags though, both at the expo and the end. Finished inside my target time of 4:30, so very chuffed.

In full: First marathon, steady splits and a sub 4. Delighted.
Highlights were the crowds+++
