In short: Awful
In full: The changes made to this race were shocking. the course was made by someone who clearly didn't like runners. Marshalling was poor getting competitors to park on the course generally not a good idea. making the cones so close to the edge of the road you couldn't actually run safely down them. my list of problems with this race go on. really bad

In short: What you can expect from Luton
In full: Really poor food stations. It's a marathon one cup of really really really weak energy drink every four miles is never really going to get you round or help you out when you hit the wall.

In short: Good first attempt
In full: Seemed to be a bit of a shock to them that 9000 people would bring so many cars causing chaos and delaying the start. Why did they run out of water? they knew how many people were running? Who thought it was a good idea to find every hill in edgbaston and join them up? PLus my Garmin told me it was 13.3miles
