In short: Getting there (so were British Rail)
In full: First time back since 2008 and its getting better!
The transport post race still needs to be improved- but that would need everyone to use the buses and leave cars miles away- doubt that will happen.
The road surface at Gosford is ok- can't see the problem for half a mile(??).
Out and back courses are not everyone's taste but that's fairly clear before entering.
Ok you could start earlier but really the weather on Sunday was unusual for Edinburgh (very unusual).
I thought getting through the finish etc was really clear and easy.
The start was relaxed without the hassle- plenty of support without the place being overcrowded.
Plenty of water and Gels plus all the local hoses and drinks etc.
Yes the relay was a bit of a pain but not too much hassle.
This is a relatively fast course (NO Hills) and a good marathon- particularly for the first timer- enough crowd without being too busy. But it could be better with either the transport being sorted or being in the city.
