In short: Brighton Knows how to run a Marathon!
In full: 2nd time running at Brighton, course updates improved the course no end! I have been converted by the water pouches, as once you had got the hang of it it worked fine! lots more cliff shot bloc stations that were still stocked for the 5hr+ runners, and lots of powerade. Really enjoyed this race, the support is amazing and the volunteers are so cheery! Did feel that they had scrimped on some aspects of the race this year though, including not printing out race booklets, medals without the Brighton marathon logo of the strap etc, but overall couldn't detract from the experience. Also a brilliant idea to hold the marathon seminar talks in Oct/Jan.

In short: a race to do year after year.
In full: marshals were amazing, and although it is through rural country roads people make the effort to come out and cheer you on. time passes quickly looking at all the lovely houses. Flat course, and the "hill" at 1.25 isn't all that bad. Loved the sponge stations, but personally prefer bottles to cups of water. very generous goodie bag food wise.

In short: A good way to start the festive season
In full: Their were a lot of club runners here taking it very seriously, and a fair amount of people in Christmas fancy dress. A steep hill at the start and at mile 3, and a muddy downhill section. Only negative was the water station that didnt seem very well manned. Overall very good value for money and lots of goodies at the end, although why the medal says "kent"on it is beyond me. would definitely do it again.
