In short: Great race, well organised, and excellent support from spectators.
In full: I will agree with the majority of people who have rated this race, well worth the entry fee with good value goody bags, sandwiches and drinks with smiles at the finish, and to get another PB within a week of my last (Wrexham)i am more than happy, cannot wait for London marathon.
