In short: Excellent race, terrible beginning organisation
In full: Supposed to be 55000+ runners in 2012 but due to weather only about 44000+ turned up yet there wasn't enough room in the 'zones' for the runners. People had to queue to get into their starting zone and then the gates were closed and they were turned away. This meant from supposed to be starting in the third wave I started back in about wave 8 and count myself lucky for getting in there!
However saying that... overall extremely well organised and with amazing amounts of support. The best parts were going through the tunnels 'army style' :-)
