In short: sort out the finish very poor
In full: did this race 3 years ago so was really looking forward to it. How dissappointing!! How can they get it so wrong??
Great atmosphere at the start, good route, why were the supporters not allowed at the finish? Big screen didnt work. Shambollic finish area treated like cattle not people. Queues for medal/goody bag/baggage/ even a drink.
Why no space blankets? why the long walk to reunion area and bus stop?
the finish in the race course 3 years ago was excellent. EMF you got it so wrong, the finish spoilt what would have been a great end to a great weekend of running.
WILL NOT BE BACK FOR THE MARATHON. will not recommend this race.
SORT IT!!

In short: Glad I cameback for another shot at 26.2miles
In full: I really enjoyed this marathon, although the support is a bit thin in the second half, but the marshalls are fantastic. a very hot day but still managed a PB, so well chuffed.

In short: a tough race but nice scenary
In full: A good race, well organised, cheery commentry at the finish. Due to the really hot weather could have been more water stations.
The drink in the goody bag was most welcome and so was the banana.
