In short: Fantastic .. had to be done ... maybe in a few day's when the pain fades away I might think about doing it again ... in a few years time !
In full: Great race. My first marathon, so a PB! Terrible weather conditions - by mile 18 my race was over - just concentrating on finishing. Marshals, drinks/jelly bean teams were magnificent .. they must have been frozen. Buses a bit poor at start, and chaotic in hall at end - but didn't really detract from a great race.

In short: Superb - my first ever marathon!
In full: Amazing - hard - but worth it! I am a running beginner but i did train and I am fit and it was not easy in the wind and the rain - but the support was amazing and the landscape incredible! My first ever running race let alone marathon - and what a treat to come home to Snowdonia and do it! 10 out of 10!

In short: Insane race but has to be done
In full: After Anglesey's marathon last month thought I'd do another 26 miles whilst I'm still fit and naively chose this one. Amazing scenery, crazy weather, insane hills but such a great feeling of achievement. Only quibble would be queueing for a bus to take you to the start in a gale with hailstones...
