In short: generally good and flat, always risk of wind!
In full: Was at the elite start and promised less queueing for Loos, this was not the case arrived at 8.20 took 20 minutes to q, only 6 toilets, not enough. Very flat and quick course only a few inclines, unfortunately a strong wind this year, but that cant be helped. The energy block staions were good but werent where i was expecting them from pre race maps. Water pouches were good, although one wasnt ripped and at 25 miles i was too exhausted to try and work out why it wasnt working. Great crowd support nearly all the way round. Entry fee seems high compared to similar events. Took ages to leave the finish area and get to where i needed to be.

In short: Great route- awful organisation
In full: Route was lovely through a park and by river. But start and finish points 5 miles apart. You had to pay extra to get back to start. And bus organisation was non existent . Not enough toilets at the start. Bags left unattended at finish. And finish was in the middle of a field away from everywhere!!!

In short: Great event
In full: Very good race. Was windier this year but mainly a cross wind. The pacers did not really start in the right places. As the 3 3.15 , .3.30 and 3.45 pacers all started at the front of the red quarrel and there was masses running with them so was hard to manoeuvre in front on them in first few miles. Should be starting un different places. Did not get on well with wAter pouches offered .Brighton marathon app , has changed my position 5 times so not 100 pc accurate. Having said all that still a fantastic day plenty of crowds .

In short: Fla on the seafrontt, quick course
In full: Very flat and quick course, you have one section where you do a u-turn. Runners had disregard for starting times, as alot of slow runners starting at the front apart from that excellent course and organisation. will definately be back next year.

In short: simply marvellous
In full: Delay at start, and could of done with wider starting area. Was less crowds at 22 mile point when u really need the support. But overall excellent very flat and very well run, superb atmosphere. Cant believe i am saying this , but see you there next year.
