In short: Good Route, nice tshirt and medal, relaxed atmosphere
In full: Apart from a need for improvement at the water stations for the full marathon, i have no complaints - got a pb here. So happily do it again and again and stay in Mablethorpe for a little longer.

In short: Flat Route - Excellent PB potential but failed on organisation again
In full: Ran it 2 years ago and was told there would be prizes for 1st,2nd and 3rd for each age group - after race, when i queried my prize they said they only had money for 1st place.
This time I only entered it as it stated CHIPPED, then the information was sent out stating they werent doing it CHIPPED. For a marathon where you want a specific time then CHIPPED is important. For that reason alone I wont do it again however I was lucky I got my GFA from Gun Time alone

In short: My legs are killing me after those "undulations" but well worth it
In full: As said by everyone else, the organisation was great (although would it be better to get the tshirt at the end when you are shivering?) and the muddy finish was draining on your already dead legs but really happy as last year I walked some of it and this year I ran the whole way with an 8min improvement and a 2:37 finish.

In short: More ups than downs on the first half but meant a strong finish
In full: Lovely run along the trail at the end but the finish uphill was plain cruel :-)

Got a PB so happy chappy

In short: Hilly and demanding but well worth it
In full: The gift at the end was a paperweight which I can safely say is the best momento ive had so far - change from Tshirts!. Nice place to run and people were friendly.
