In full: But this is still my favourite marathon by far.
Despite the exceptionally hot weather the atmosphere was great, and the marshalls were very helpful and provided extra drinks and sponges.
A big Thank You to Ian Milne, Randell Tassell, and the rest of the team at Matlock AC for the excellent job they always do in staging this very special event.
Looking forward to coming back again next year!!

In short: Outstanding organisation - extra water & sponges at such short notice. Brilliant. Thanks.
In full: I tried to thank all the marshalls on the way round but just in case I missed anyone can I just add one final thank you to you all. It was hard enough running it but to stand there in that heat and keep smiling and encouraging us all was a fantastic achievement. You must have had to get extra supplies from somewhere so I suspect a lot of people went to great lengths to look after us all. Cold and wet last year, cooked this time. Next year you deserve to get the perfect weather that will make this one of the best races on the calendar. See you there (and yesterday I crossed the line saying never again!)

In short: Phew!
In full: That was tough! It was my 44th marathon and I have never run in conditions so brutal. A real challenge for Mr Milne and his helpers that could have gone badly wrong in less experienced hands. The scenery is stunning but my eyes didn't stray from my feet after 19 miles when it became a matter of just finishing in one piece! Thanks again to all concerned - a fantastic race. See you next time.

In short: Brilliant race made very tough by the conditions
In full: I imagine doing this race in good conditions would be a pleasure but, in the heat, it turned into a bit of a battle. The organisation was fantastic. My friend and I arrived a bit late after being sent to the wrong place by TomTom. We phoned ahead and the race organiser was waiting with our numbers for us when we arrived and was really helpful. There was a good bit of banter during the race and the marshalls were fantastic with encouragement and much-needed cold sponges. Will definitely return to this one but hopefully it will be a bit cooler next year. Well done to Mr Milne et al for a tremendous effort in putting on this race.

In short: Hot hot hot
In full: While the organisers cannot arrange shade on the hottest day of the year, what they do deliver is a superbly organised race through picture postcard countryside with ample water stations manned by enthusiastic helpers.
A great event!
