← Edinburgh Marathon Festival (half & full marathon)

So many positives here. First off, Edinburgh is beautiful you start at the top of the hill and run down along the riverbank. Water, energy drinks and toilets aplenty. Wonderful local support. Alpacas at the estate just after the halfway point. Bonus it's relatively flat.

This was my second marathon and was by far an amazing experience. The only negatives was that the start wasn't easy to find if you don't come via the train station and the end point us 40-60 minutes back to town by bus. Neither of these would detract me from doing it again.

The post race goodies were awesome and included a snazzy medal, t-shirt and water bottle plus ice/heat packs all in tidy box with a handle. 

I highly recommend this race, and be sure to stay a few days in Edinburgh!
