In short: Great race spoilt by poor and boring course.
In full: Great location to start. I felt that the baggage lorries and toilets were the wrong way round. Too many non runners allowed into start area. Finish location was fantastic. Overall i found the course was lacking in immagination with very few City sights to see. You p[assed the finish at 9 miles and then continued in a straight line for almost a further 9 miles before turning round and running back from where you had just come. The atmosphere was graet, but the event could be so much better if the course was more interesting. Having run the race in the past, a better course would be to turn left at Portobello and head towards Leith and Crammond before turning back for Musselburgh at least you may then not have to run past the finish so early in the race.

In short: Well organised but low key race with a friendly atmosphere. No memento at the end but all money raised going to charity. Tough course but fantastic scenery. Definately run it again.
