if you like a warm race thats flat and straightforward with a bit of lounging in the sun afterwards ...then this may suit you.

if you like a race with an interesting course, lots of support, slick organisation.....this isnt it !

the course is - for the most part - run along the road adjacent to the sea - you only get to be close(r) to the sea along one end before looping back....so it's a bit boring

support? not much of it other than the couple of groups of youngsters (which was most welcome)

Not a huge amount of guidance at the start of the race - and started late

lots of water stations but not many other supplies and a lack of promised oranges

it was a bit crowded at the finish line with people milling around

and you need to work out what you are doing after as it was a bit of a nightmare finding a taxi to get back to the hotel

there were a number of other issues associated with the overall package rather than the race

would i do it again? probably not as if I'm going to take a flight to someone hot I'd like to be able to run along more interesting paths with a bit more going on, more support etc
