In short: Nice route and a great medal
In full: As others have said it was a bit congested at the start but the announcer did make laugh when they said that runners weren't allowed to wear MPods or IP3 players..! A nice route through the historic centre and a quality medal at the end.

In short: Great organisation & medal. Flat, fast but very cramped in places
In full: Extremely well organised. Great medal. Course is flat and potentially fast but unless you are at the front (which I wasn't) it can be very cramped. Over 1300 runners and in places only wide enough for 3, particularly early in the race. Passing is difficult for the first 2-3 km until runners begin to gradually spread out.
