In short: Uphill then downhill
In full: Uphill for first half then downhill for most of the way back. Good organisation and one of the best HMs there is.

In short: Great day out, but that hill!!!
In full: Great organisation, great marshalls, even though those kids from the cadets were on the hills for hours, they still had a smile and a nod or a word of encouragment they're a credit to the cadets and their parents. The hills are pretty much unrunable imho and it's more like a climb, now there's the challenge. Great day out but not for the faint hearted

In short: congestion throughout the course and the finish is dreadful
In full: Congestion brought me to a stand at least 5 times on the course, also dangerous bollards at promenade and traffic cones on course. Finish area was crowded and exit was tiny, only reason no crush was due to having ran 26.2 miles and no one had the strength. T shirt, although good asics tech shirt, doesn't mention marathon.

In short: wave start and bigger PA would make it a top event
In full: too many slow runners at the front caused too many bottle necks.

In short: Hot
In full: Terrible that water was in low supply in these conditions. The sun was so hot and the loop in Gosford was like an oven. Local support in East Lothian and at the finish was amazing.
