Well organised with good marshalls and water stations. After first few miles on road, mostly on redways through green areas, with improvement from previous years. Support along most of route with great gospel choir in city centre. Nice medal and technical MK cow t-shirt, and I do love races that give out bananas at the end! Baggage well organised by scouts. Good start/finish venue at stadium MK, lots of loos and space to meet running club mates. I parked on a nearby industrial estate with 9 min walk along redways to start.

The only down was the area at the start which seemed quite chaotic. Not enough space for everyone to get in their correct start zones, which were difficult to access through fences and greenery. The start was staggered though which helped.

Have done the MK marathon for the first 3 years and the half for the last 2 as still coming back from injury. MK do listen to feedback and stage great events...thanks....I'll be back
