In short: enjoyed the day but some real bottlenecks on course
In full: Good day out, nice and flat but 15,000 runners on a 4 foot wide park path was a bit difficult.

the wide open streets were good and the last 2 mile were ace.

pandemonium at the end though.

would do it again if there were less runners or the runners who competed started in the correct time zones.

In short: HARD!!!!! the welsh sure do know how to make a marathon hard...but good
In full: Well what can i say, this was my 5th marathon and really i should have expected it to be hilly (Well it was in Wales) but i must admit I cried like a baby at 16 miles and I was convinced that my time would me measured on calender, this course must have been mapped by a Royal MARINE!!!

All said though I am glad I did this marathon and only 8 or so minutes off PB which I am really proud of because the course was like nothing I had run before! the road sign at 2 mile was a nice touch....14% incline warning triangle as it gave us a clue as what was to
come ;)

The course stewards and officials were so good, it was as if each of them Had a personal wish for you to do well and they really made the route safe and secure loads of water, energy drink, sweets bananas, i was convinced i would get a full sunday roast at mile 20!

Scenery was breathtaking, medal was nice, and the public cheered you like you was a long lost son!!!!

This marathon was designed for Giants and this morning I feel like I could tackle the world,

THANK YOU WALES!

In short: good but more runners needed in the full marathon
In full: Wolverhampton really tries hard for this event, i think more should take part in the full marathon. I know Wolverhampton may not be as romantic as London or New york.....but its still the same distance ;)
