In short: Ooh that was lovely!
In full: A course PW but partly because I enjoyed it so much. What a great day! The weather was perfect, the views glorious, the marshalls superb and very friendly. Great for slower runners and probably as good for the faster ones.

2006 Cornish Marathon

In short: Fantastic views, friendly marshals, excellent organisation.
In full: It's a tough course but the marshals were so friendly and encouraging that they kept me going. The views are stunning: the route passes through lanes, wooded valleys, moorland, villages and goes up and down virtually all the way (well, that's what it felt like anyway). Water stations every three miles, with runners' own drinks if provided, staffed by cheerful Guides. Medal placed round my neck by very small child. Banana, pasty and cup of tea. About as good as it gets.
