My favourite marathon

I love small marathons more than big ones. This is the second time I took part in it.The last comment is also mine, made 3 years ago. The course is not beautiful, but easy, running through rural areas. There was heavy rain in the middle, the spectators still came out cheering the runners up, holding and umbrella. Water and drink stops every 5 km, water, tea, biscuit and other fruits were provided. The last 2 km is in city area. This path is in cobbles and might be more difficult. I made my PB this time, 3:57. Three years ago, it was 6:13. This marathon has the biggest goody bag I have ever had. I can't upload a pic here. I just can't count how many things I get. This year a very beautiful book about the history and culture of the starting point, Camposardego, is given. The quality of the Nike T-shirt is also one of the best I have. It is a race you can enjoy and make your record.Highly recommended.

A good marathon in general

This is my first marathon in Europe. The weather this year was fine - not hot at all but too much sunshine. I think there were around 1,000-2,000 people participating in the full marathon. I felt very lonely after 30K. Sometimes I couldn't see anyone else. There was one porta-potty at each water stop. The spectators were enthusiastic and they clapped when they saw you. The course is generally fine; you run along the countryside. There is a water stop every 5K, which I think is not enough. It's better to have one every 2.5K. There were lots of gifts for full marathon runner; I just couldn't count how many things I got. You could have pasta free after the race, but I didn't, as I didn't want to eat anything after the race.

Great marathon - perfect organization

I really enjoyed the race. It was a much quieter race most big-city marathons, but there was a very good atmosphere and everyone was very friendly.
