In short: Great Race, Perfect atmosphere from a friendly club
In full: I think the positive atmosphere from runners marshals and officials alike made this my favourite Marathon. With 105.5 laps to do I didn't think I'd be writing that. Faultless organisation for a 1st event.

In short: Excellent race/organisation/support/banter/weather/goody bag
In full: What a fantastic day. Superbly organised. Everyone was so friendly & supportive. There was always someone to chat to which helped the laps pass by. It wasn't as much of a mental challenge as I thought it would be. i can't think of one negative at all. I hope it is on again next year.

In short: Track Marathons - will I never learn.
In full: Glad I did this but a week after Brentwood, maybe I wasn't fit for it. However there was a good bunch of folk there and hard as it was, 105.5 laps were doable. Particular praise for microphone mand and of course jellybaby/vaseline girl, have you ever seen as much vaseline in one hand!! The good bag was great and a rare treat in such a bag, lager! My one gripe which might be considered for next year. I KNOW man power was at a premium but more awareness of ones lap completion would be a big help rather than the 20 markers on the board which for the record never had my 100th crossed - bearing in mind ones mental fatigue at this point every little helps. With a 5 mile gaps before one sees ones status can be a long time.
Dwell on the positive, yes, well done guys, I think it went very well.

In short: Great atmosphere, not the mental trial I'd feared, very well organised.
In full: Mention a track marathon and the immediate thought is 105 laps of stunning boredom....well think again. Great support, fluids and fuel on hand every 400m, a perfectly flat resilient track, music, cheering, dancing it had it all. But most importantly you get to share the experience with the whole field and even see the winner finish. If you start counting them there's as many if not more positives than negatives. Well done all who organised, supported and took part.

In short: A surprisingly brilliant day, run 105 laps yes if its with the Sandbach Striders WELL DONE
In full: Very good organisation, excellent encouragement especially from microphone man, and jellybaby vaseline girl, sorry didnt get names. A runners race. I really wasnt sure whether i would enjoy this, but falling into step with another runner for 40laps helped a lot, Support trackside was BRILL from faster runners, organisers, and of course MICK N PHIL.

In short: Fab, friendly race and the best goody bag ever. If "other runners" count as scenery then the mark goes up to 5 :) Thanks to Sandbach Striders for your friendliness, and for a sound track that really made you want to run faster (and get it over with
