In short: Should it be called Firth of Forth marathon?
In full: A great weekend out in Scotland, weather was ace!

Run was OK but its not really the Edinburgh marathon, the walk to the bus and then the wait and journey back to town took the edge off the day!

In short: Well done Worcester, a great day out :)
In full: I really enjoyed this race, easy to find, well located and on a fine spring day (as today was) very uplifting.

I arrived with 40 min to spare drove straight onto the car park had stroll around then a gentle walk to the start, pity about the delay but I have found that its always best to arrive in good time.

A real nice run and the mile downhill at the end was a dream.

Nice medal, nice shirt and excellent support at the end

I had a bit of trouble with traffic and one or two rude drivers, but i guess Karma will come up trumps in the end ;)

Put me down for the Full Marathon next year

In short: Excellent weekend all round (but less cyclists next year eh!)
In full: Great, organisation, by far one of the best marathons I have completed, and support all the way around, well done.

My only gripe though was the cycling club that weaved in and out of us runners mid way down the field on the narrow country roads, I saw two near misses and one guy fall off (very off putting)

In short: all in all a good day out :)
In full: This was my first race after the Paris Marathon last month and I must say before the start I was not really in the mood to do the full marathon, but the effort of the organisers and the charming scenery lifted my spirits to get me around ;)

A good day out and I would definitely do the Stratford next year!

In short: good race, may need an out of town start next year if more than 15,000 runners!
In full: overall, very good, i did Cardiff last week with the same amount of runners and Birmingham was a lot lot better!. ok bottleneck at the start and i would suggest 15000 entries is as much as Broad street can handle, perhaps alexandra statium on the walsall road could cope better for the amount of runners that next year would undoubtably attract.

but no i have done five marathons and a few halves the last 12 months and Birmingham was a treat......loved it ;0)
