In short: A fantastic event and very well run (and I don't mean my running)!
In full: I have run a lot of the big marathons around the world and Richmond Park bettered them all. Tough on the hills but the marshalling, organisation, scenery and goody bag cannot be beat. I am nervous about giving it an honest review as I don't want to risk not getting in next year due to increased demand (lets keep this one a secret)!

In short: Expected better
In full: Poorly organised and ripped off with the commemorative t-shirts. PB potential is non-existent due to start not being done by predicted finish times and no marshals between the finish and the bag area. I have been in bigger races that have done it much better!

In short: Organisers put runners in danger
In full: After feeling the effects of hypothermia for 3hours the baggage collection was beyond a joke and a lot of us were showing very dangerous signs. The supporters were amazing but I will definetly not be running Manchester again, this is a shame because I love this city.

In short: Fantastic training run
In full: A really well organised, friendly paced run catering for all abilities. The start time was a little early for non-locals but the home made cakes at the end more than made up for it.
