In short: Has the potential to be a fantastic race
In full: I was in a group of about 50 people that went the wrong way because a arrow was pointing the wrong way, it was at 13k where there was supposed to be a water station, what happened is that after we turned round and came back we bumped into the marshall who got there late and he told us the right way to go . I'm not saying the course was the wrong distance , but the extra couple of Ks that i ran were'nt my fault and do feel i have a right to be a little bit frustrated, after all, my chances of a PB (that i had trained really hard for) went out the window at that point,and the latter part of the marathon became very hard. This race just needs a few tweeks to be a great event, i have to agree with other posts that suggest starting further up the canal and also the obstacle course bit at the end, (although good fun) on tired legs that have done 25m is not wanted. I really hope the organisers don't loose heart and look at this as construtive criticism, i will run this marathon again but only for fun not for a PB. OH and please do something about the railway footbridge its NOT good.

In short: feels a bit like a country fete
In full: I love this event i did it last year it was my 2nd 10k. This year i was a bit more clued up and went for a PB i did 47min 49sec my best yet. but to my horror when i checked the web site they got my time wrong by nearly a minute and the same thing happened to my friend. so perhaps they could benefit from chip timing to make it perfect
