Great first time course, rel. flat with some nice parks to run through. Support is awesome as its a city course...cant underestimate the importance of support in your first few marathons.
Aid stations - Could to with an extra loo or two, gatorade orange is horrible. But plenty of water and very friendly marshalls and volunteers.
There's music and even a brass band at 17miles - lovely.
There are parts of the course on uneven terrian....it is mentioned in the prep.
TRACKER - the tracker doesn't start until you pass the 10km marker....so F&F didn't know if I had started for ages!
Stadium finish - the best.
