Great race!
Running my first marathon but having done a few half-marathon races, I really felt like a first-timer when I got to the stadium. It was quite crowded and I was worried about not making it in time, but at the end the crowds were managed well enough. The cloakrooms for bags worked well and all in all the start was smooth. On the first drink point at 5 km they had problems supplying all runners, but after that it was good going from the organizers. The route was marked well and there were few problems with people crossing the road, rather the spectators added a lot to the atmosphere. At the goal the finish went smoothly, although the person gathering chips didn't have anything to cut the cable ties I had used so I had to remove the whole shoelace. Small gripes: this was a great event! Also the weather was perfect, but I guess we can't give the organizers credit for that :)
