In short: Windermere Marathon is flat compared to this.
In full: A very challenging yet rewarding run. The hill at mile 18 was a killer. I've said I wouldn't do it again, but that's purely because I found it way too difficult. There was a high proportion of no shows, don't know if that's because the organisers changed the route a few weeks beforehand to make it more difficult. Would probably be a better event with at least some road sections closed.

In short: Pleasant, fast 10k, great for beginners and seasoned pros alike
In full: My experience was dulled by the fact that my finishing time isn't on the results, otherwise it was a really good race. Course is very good.

In short: Amazingly beautiful run, not for the faint-hearted!
In full: For my first marathon, it was exactly what I wanted. I've done long runs before, so I didn't want a flat easy course, I wanted a challenge, and the hills certainly were that! Like I said above, it's not for the faint-hearted, so if you're looking at a first time marathon, and want to ease yourself into them, this is not for you. However, the scenery and views, especially over the hill just after mile 16, make this a must-run for anybody physically able.
