2013 Virgin London Marathon 2013

In short: Superb
In full: My second marathon / London marathon. I started in blue pen 6 and finished in just over 3 1/2 hours, would have liked to have been a bit further up the front, maybe pen 4? Anyway its a very well organised event, possibly a bit crowded as it does take a good 5 miles to really open up I felt. Loads of drink stations (still amazed at the amount of people who take a drink, take one gulp then throw it!), seems a waste. Crowds were amazing and really helped me over those last 6 miles. I set a new pb so got to be happy, well organised from before the start until after the finish so thank you. Will I be back, yes, not for a few years but I will be back!

In short: For a first time well done
In full: I believe this was the first half marathon here and it was really well organised, course was up and down but nothing severe at all. Good course well marshalled, could probably do with another water station about half way round but apart from that thanks and well done, I hope to be back for the next one!

In full: Very well organised race, hard work though after the nice start, great friendly marshalls, muddy & wet but who cares when theres a mars bar waiting at the finish!

In short: Well organised
In full: My third time at this event and I love it, its very well organised with a fair mix of runners taking part. Weather was the bst I have ever seen it for this event and I enjoy all the usual ups and downs of the course and the odd flat bit. Will be back in 2011. Did think the goody bag wasnt up to much, but dont run it for that. I miss the fab t-shirts! Big thanks anyway to all who organised it and see you next year.

In short: Great memories
In full: My first ever marathon and I loved it (although right now my legs dont!!). I had no organisation problems so everything went smoothly for me, thought it was well organised, bit crowded at the start but I expected that and in a good way it holds you back and stops you going off to quick. Amazing support all the way round so thanks to the supporters and all the organisers. This fab day will stay with me forever and who knows I might just do another one!

In short: Great event
In full: Good very well organised event, terrain mainly forest tracks & paths with some nice mud in there for good measure, small amount of road running as well. An undulating course with a few hilly bits in there to make your legs hurt!! Two water stations and very well organised, tougher course than last year but I really enjoyed it. Its a good event that should grow in numbers as the years go on, plus as this race was my first ever win I have to say I loved it!!!!

In short: Good event
In full: Well organised event and a fairly fast course, one minor hill but descent straight after to catch your time back up. Good to see water half way round this time and hopefully that will stay for future races. Good to see the clubhouse facilities rebuilt and back. Good pb potential on this course, thanks to everybody involved today and see you next year.

In short: Great event
In full: My third Great North Run and still loving them, even managed a pb by over 5 minutes today compared to previous years so very happy with that and my brilliant finishing position. Not sure why the baggage buses werent at the finish as runners had to wait for their kit for a bit, but apart from that well organised and very well supported by so many brilliant locals, you all did yourselves proud today. Might well be back next year!

In short: Great race
In full: My local race and I really enjoy it, well apart from that hill at the 3 mile mark!! Really well organised and I think 5 water stations which is superb. Apart from the evil hill the rest of the course is fairly flat with few undulations, but that hill possibly stops you getting a pb. Recommend this race to all and be back next year.
