In short: ow. This race hurts. Well marshalled and supportd.
In full: Just run it for the cakes and the medal.
The medal, like last year is great. The water; drinks; sponges; shower; jelly babies stations all frequent.
This is a well thought out run. Bit of a problem on the narrow roads with walkers, cars and cyclists though.

In short: Great Hill
In full: I don't like road races much so this wasn't a great race for me. Dull as ditch water. I tend not to look at the scenery as I'm running but you can't really knock Eastbourne for the sea. It's great. Enough runners that there's someone to have a bit of a race with. Plenty of water stations. Chocie bar at the end was a nice touch. ;-)

Only my second marathon but I think I did ok. Felt a bit lonely near the end with no one in sight but along the way it was well supported.
