A superb large scale major city marathon with 27,000 runners that seemed to run like clockwork! Great organisation and also a really fast course. Highly recommended! Rob A
What a great marathon this is from the Expo right through to the finish. Everyone is friendly, weather is nice and the beer is top drawer. Some good sights on the way round as well. I highly recommend this marathon. Daniel S
