We were told on the day that this was the only ever UK Marathon around a football stadium, so immediately I was happy to be part of that! It was 61.2 laps of a small loop around the grounds. The course, even though small, was well laid out with markers and marshalls to guide the way! The support from the crew and other participants families was great with flags and chanting every time around! The race briefing was cheerful and gave us everything we needed to know! I read that the race cut-off was 6 hours but saw that they stuck around for the last finisher for an extra 30 minutes so I have big respect for them for doing that! The medal was attractive and the marathon itself was unique!
