In short: Poor organisation
In full: Too crowded at the start, few water stations, no other drinks available (i.e. isotonics). The baggage section was appalingly disorganised, felt sorry for the stewards, not their fault, but to wait over an hour to collect my bag, with sore legs was appaling! I won't be back!

In short: Tough course, undulating. Well organised but the traffic is a put off!
In full: The scenary is beautiful, the organisation was good, loads of drink stations. However, i found it a bit misleading (when i booked) claiming the race to be flat, is actually a very undulating course, apart from the first 5 miles (which were flat) the rest is up and down. The other put off, is running alongside the traffic, i found it to be very risky and dangerous, for this main reason i would not do it again.

In short: Good preparation for a marathon
In full: Fairly well organised, friendly people, didn't enjoy crossing the roads (fairly busy). I enjoyed running the 20 miles into four laps, it does easy up the whole race, though i did struggle in the last lap and had to walk/run for the last two miles.
