In short: Why not run through more of Edinburgh.
In full: With such a beautiful historic city, why did we not get to see it?
A route taking in the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle, Prince's Street, down through Leith to take in the Royal Yacht Brittania would have been much better.

Transport into Edinburgh for the start of the race was poor. The earliest train from Fife got into Edinburgh at 0900, but was 10 minutes late, making for a rush to the start line.

The race itself was organised and marshalled really well. And we should thanks all the volunteers for there hard work.

Ok the handing out of goodies at the end was a bit chaotic, but again well done to the guys there too.

However, the last thing runners want is to be standing waiting to get out of the finish area through a small gap in the fenced off area. An issue that was made worse by family and friends all gathering around blocking the way.
Keep the family and friends in the big field set up as the re-union area and keep the short walk there a runner only area.
