Grueling, enjoyable, unique
-
It was a well run event with different distances on. In populated crowd areas, especially in the 2nd lap when I was on my own, the atmosphere was amazing
-
Two laps of the same course was hard, especially as majority of the runners were there for the half. I spent a lot of time on my own in the 2nd half and the hills were gruelling.
-
Anyone looking for a marathon. Maybe just not your first one though 😉
-
Don't let yourself get too confident after the first lap thinking it's just one more lap.
-
Very well located event with lots of places to eat and drink after.
This marathon was, as expected, not like London. The atmosphere picks up every few miles but a lot of it is quiet and you have to push yourself to the limit.
