In short: Preferred Edinburgh to London and Dublin. It had the perfect number of runners to make it feel like a special event but there was enough space to run your own race without rubbing shoulders, getting hemmed in, tripping over bottles or cups etc.

In short: My first marathon and the first in Edinburgh for several years. Very well organised and scenic. Steep hill at 18 miles and gradient at 24-26 bit of a killer, but partts of course reversed for next year. Great team RW Forum support online.
