The down side to this race is the huge hill around mile 7 and 8. Big incline that just keeps going and going. For me, combined with the 26C heat, this ruined the race. There were more people walking from mile 7 to 10 than running.
The crowds however, were probably the best I have ever seen.
I don't mind a hill, but this hill is too much. I will not be going back whilst this is the route.
