In short: So many marshals and all of them friendly and encouraging, they have got to be some of the best marathon marshals out there! In full: I'm used to running marathons with much bigger fields of runners, but at no point was I alone through the race. The atmosphere and camaraderie between the runners was brilliant. I liked the mixture of terrain throughout the run, even the subway with the cheeky marshal at the top! To top of a good race I not only came away with a new P.B but with a T-shirt that fits! As an extra good point, the two times I visited the ladies toilets there was no queue what so ever!! Date of review: October 22, 2012

In short: Brilliant yet again - already pre- registered for next year! In full: The crowds were absolutely fantastic as were the marshals, and other than my number not arriving, which was easily sorted, so was the organisation. Thoroughly enjoyed today and the weekend in Brighton. The new p.b helped to. Date of review: April 15, 2012

In short: What a fantastic day. Brilliant organisation, especially for a first time event. In full: A big thankyou to all the marshalls, all of those i had contact with were friendly and enthusiastic. The crowd support was excellent, very loud at times. A couple of times I even heard crowd members actually thanking the runners for coming to Brighton to run. I personally didnt have an issue with the toilets as I stayed very close to the start but the queues did look awfully long. Best goody bag Ive ever had. Can't wait for next year.

In short: What a great day In full: i thoroughly enjoyed this run, my first marathon and it took me 4.57 but the time flew by. The marshalls were excellent and supportive. The course was very scenic and i hardly noticed any hilly bits. The gravel at mile 17 did come as a bit of a shock but once legs had ajusted was not a problem.A couple of niggly points, such as allowing spectators into the start area, sorry but they just got in the way. A half hour wait for shuttle bus,this could of been better but i was on a high so nothing was going to worry me. an excellent finish with brilliant support felt like i was flying across the finish, though it probably looked like i was crawling. i still cannot stop smiling now. a wonderful race with great people in a beautiful city and its surronds.
