2007 Everards Leicester Marathon

In short: Flat course with small undualtions??????
In full: I think whoever wrote the description of this course is sonewhat confused about what a small undualtion is. The course was much more hilly than expected and it wasn't traffic free. Unless I was missing something then there wasn't a goody bag.
Posted a time I was pleased with but would have been quicker if, due to some lapse marshalling, I hadn't taken a small detour. However, I don't wish to put down the marshalls overall as they were really friendly and obviously gave up their Sunday so the race could go ahead.
A better description of the course is definitely needed for next year.

In short: Organisation was dreadful. And a can of soup in the goody bag!!!
In full: Was really looking forward to this race and, although I was pleased with my time, I thought the organization was dire. If I'd followed my clour coding I would have been in the 2 hours+ bracket and I finished in 1:20! Why it is going to take nearly 3 months for gents to receive their t-shirts I have no idea. Also, in terms of a goody bag I would have to say that soup is the most ridiculous 'prize' I have ever received post race.
That it cost nearly as much as the FLM means that much needs to be done to put it on a par with that event.
Come on Brissol, sort it out.

In short: Evil hills but friendly set up and a good race overall.
