2013 Brighton Marathon 2013

In short: Tough despite the perfect weather.
In full: Not happy at having to collect my number the day before; complete waste of time. When you enter the most expensive marathon in Britain you expect it to be sent to you. Frustrated at having to walk West for a mile due to crossing points being closed. Understandable but found out later that there were underpasses in town ( I walked to Regency Square) taking you in to Brighton centre. Why were these not publicised to runners? Unlike today's winner I don't think I'll be back but thanks to the organisers and marshals for 2010 and 2013.

In short: Ideal spring marathon prep race
In full: Brilliant organisation. Having the car park, loos, number pick-up, start/finish etc in close proximity is perfect. Don't know when it was changed but getting the airfield section out of the way first has made this race better.
