In short: The sort of race that keeps you honest.
In full: Saving yet another long hill climb for the 22-24 mile mark is a particularly nice touch.

In short: Them hills be silly but it's a great event
In full: u know it's all gone slightly weird when people are hang gliding beneath you. this should perhaps be renamed the Humpty Dumpty marathon as you never stop going up and then down, and you will feel in pieces as u see the hills confronting you at the 18 mile mark. This was my first mara and thought it was a cracker - great views, well organised, a nice mix of runners and the volunteers did a superb job (why Rich Tea biscuits tho??). will definitely do it again but, ahem, will look for a flatter, more normal marathon in the meantime.
