In short: Very well organised race, shame the organisers had no control over the weather too!
In full: Great fun running as part of a relay team over the distance. Well done to all those who did the full marathon - 3 laps is tough especially in the horrific weather conditions. Very well organised race, so well done Luton. Thanks to police and marshalls and those on water stations for doing a great job too. Will be back for relay next year, but not sure I could do the whole marathon distance on this course!

In short: Great race, horrid weather!
In full: Very well organised, better than expected as this was the first relay event I have entered - the organisation for those doing the relay was well thought through and ran well with a hitch (except maybe the mud slide from waiting pen to the path!!). Good secure changing facilities, lots of room and excellent organisation for goody bags...Luton - I am very impressed! Might not be back next year though - the weather put me off ;)

In short: Well organised event and well worth a look in future years.
In full: Pretty atrocious conditions put a a bit of a dampener on the race in terms of support. But thanks to the police, marshalls and drink stationeers who did a sterling job.
I think this a well organised race - my second year. There are advantages and disadvantages with three laps, but it's good to know what's coming if you are looking for a PB - which is achievable. The relay adds a bit of interest as well.
