In short: A great race
In full: A thoroughly enjoyable day out for a little run. The organisation is excellent, marshalls spot on, highly recommended for anybody considering a marathon.

In short: Badly organised
In full: Most people have already covered the "issues" with the race. For me the biggest was how dangerous it was to be running along footpaths covered in street furniture, very few of which were clearly marked. This was highlighted when a girl behind me ran straight into a bench, went flying and smashed her face on the pavement. I continued to try and get some help, as others were attending to her, but there were no marshals for hundreds of yards and the first ones I did find were more worried about sheltering out of the rain than providing any assistance. I hope she wasn't too badly injured. Summed up the race for me, won't be back.

In short: First the downs, start a bit crowed and unorganised and the course didn't appear to be measured correctly. Over 6.4 Miles. That a side friendly, well marshalled race. That hill at the end though wont be forgotten quickly.
