In short: Tough,dull,over distance,dangerous open roads
In full: An undulating run,3 laps made it rather dull,out & back at the end was demoralising & very dangerous - people running down both sides of a traffic strewn road !!was 26.8 miles long, not enough water stations, only 4 distance markers, 5 hour time limit rather harsh as quite tough for a road course.

In short: Well organised - safety worries - lots of double deckers on road
In full: well organised with regular drink stops - a sports drink would have been a good additional extra.at the end there was a beer stand, ice cream van but no offer of food, you normally would expect at least a burger van. traffic was a nightmare in the last few miles of the full marathon. Nice T-shirt. Surprisly had some very long although steady inclines.

In short: Scenic but tough & hilly
In full: was pleased it was so well signposted, hate following written instructions these were supplied but not needed.a few busy roads to cross but motorists were considerate.tough big hill just a mile in !! lack of European race options means this is a must if you want an august race.
