I enjoyed this marathon. It was tough, if you don't like a fair bit of hill or doing 4 loops then it's not for you. But if you are up for a challenge and not going for a pb I'd definitely recommend giving this one a go. The atmosphere was great and everyone was friendly. The marshals were all smiling and giving lots of encouragement even at the end of the race when it had started raining.

Loved it ,the marathon felt like a giant park run. Did first two laps and realised l had just done a half marathon and it didn’feel like it. Thanks to all the great people manning the water stations very friendly, one even gave me a bag of her own crisps.

Well organised , good facilities (cafe, toilets although runners must pay for their own parking ) . A challenging course but highly enjoyable . Would recommend.

I'm not a big fan of multiple lap events, so doing 4 laps for the marathon is definitely not appealing doing 2 for the half marathon was bad enough. And the route was too short, I had to run around the carpark to make up the distance.
