← Bournemouth Marathon Festival
Beautiful course and scenery, with long streteches along the sea. Traffic free. Not too many people, but you never run alone. Easy logistics at the start. I deeply enjoyed this marathon after the running London that was extremely crowded and hot. Bournemouth was a fresh and airy course, mainly flat with only a couple of hills one could run up easily. I found a litte intimidating at the start the repetitive message "If you feel unwell, stop or don't run" after the 20th time I heard that, I started feeling a little unwell!! Some motivation music might be a little more inspiring! Also, even if the feed station were many, they only provided water, so if like me you need carbohydrate and salts, maybe organise to bring your own drink or ask a friend to pass it to you along the course!
