In short: Generally enjoyable, but..................
In full: seemed a bit chaotic at the finish. T-shirt ok, no drinks (water ran out) and couldn't find anyone to ask. All seemed a little penned in once over the finish line, in the car park.
will be there next year though

In short: Wow........
In full: My 2nd marathon overall and a great one for any novice. Rather hillier than I was led to believe. Good support from all the water stations and marshalls. BBQ and beer afterwards aided recovery. Cant wait for next years run
WELL DONE TO ALL INVOLVED WITH ORGANISING THE RACE THIS YEAR.

In short: Enjoyable and well supported
In full: A good race, albeit in warm conditions. Well attended and organised. All marshalls encouraging and happy/smiling. Great T-shirt and medal. Party atmosphere at finish. Slightly hilly, moreso than undulating. Could have done with more water stations on day, but well worth a visit next year.

In short: ok
In full: Was ok, conditions very hot and just enough water/sponge stations. Not sure about mile markers - seemed at random intervals (Garmin forerunner measured). Though a little steep to ba asked to pay for T-shirt when race info said T-shirts to all finishers

In short: The best mass-participation event
In full: What an experience for my 1st marathon. I expect easy t oto PB as flat mostly. Well marshalled, crowd was fantastic - even handing out sweets and beer near the end. Fantastic day - would recommend to anyone that can get a place!
