In short: Great Race for a PB!
In full: I'll get the negatives out then talk about how great the race was. I agree with couple of others, it was odd to finish then don't be able to get into the stand easily. Also just a tip - those with GPS watches locate the satellite before getting to start line as it is under shelter and couldn't find location.
Otherwise it was a perfect day, no wind, good temperature and dry! The course is very flat and all on road therefore perfect for a good time! It was my first marathon so had no reference but it was a very enjoyable route. The scenery is actually ok and the organisation was great!!
I would recommend this very highly along with the Passage De Terror and crazy golf but unfortunately The Big One broke down!! Perfect weekend in The Sandpiper Apartments!!! Incredible...

In short: Fast and Flat
In full: I entered this for a PB, which I managed by over 5 mins (granted I am fitter now). Flat course on road. Enough water station, there were enough marshalls. Good T-shirt, medal and food at the end. BBQ food also available. Plenty of parking a short walk away from start/finish. Great race all round, will do it again!!....

In short: 5k - Nice course, bit expensive, but definitely worth a go, could be PB potential!
In full: Says flat/hilly - there are four (2 in each lap) I would say slight inclines but nothing that would damage your time at all, so would describe as flat. 2009 race went off a bit slow so I didnt get PB, but next time!! Great for beginners standard is low compared with a lot of other races. Well done to all!!

In short: Undulating but fast definite PB potential.
In full: I got a new PB over a minute faster than previous best. Some Marshalls were too busy thinking what am I doing here but otherwise very well organised. Very hot weather prob stopped faster times all round. Definitely recommend!!

In short: Good race, if wind was down then definite PB potential as flat course all the way.
In full: I like the route, is not scenic but were not here for the scenary. Good PB potential if the wind died down, i was well on for a PB until the final mile.
