In short: Fast route, rotten organisation
In full: This race could be brilliant, but the organisation lets it down, year after year. Expensive, not value for money, ludicrous phallic medal, no response from organisers to my e/mail enquiries (unlike VLM), they just don't try hard enough.

In short: Great atmosphere, slow pace
In full: Like some others who've commented, I loved the atmosphere but was hugely frustrated by the pace. I forecast 3:30 - 3:45 and completed in 3:33. By mile 10 I'd run an extra 0.25 miles dodging round walkers, Fred Flintstone, etc. I didn't get into my own pace until mile 18.
But the atmosphere over Tower Bridge will stay with me until I die.
