In short: A fun run, not a race, and over-priced
In full: You will have to run at the speed of the crowd, so regard it as a funrun, not a race, and see the sights. If you can afford it.

In short: Lovely course, but some traffic problems
In full: Could have done with a bit more marshalling of the traffic on parts of the course, the drivers were all over the road and didnt have any idea what to do

In short: They ran out of water - unforgivable - a beginners mistake
In full: And a race license requires them to provide a water station. It's not as if they haven't run a race before, allegedly, or have no way of knowing how many people will come - they set the race limit.

In short: Fantastic scenery but killer hills
In full: Could do with a little more organisation at checkpoints -- keep the marathoners apart from the relayers maybe?

In short: Lovely race - but no showers!
In full: Not the organisers fault I suppose, but the showers at the finish were out of order.
