Paul Monaghan · 2019

Marathon

Paul recommended the coastal scenery, torch ceremony and festive finish for a relaxed marathon trip. Traffic increased during the second half despite helpful marshals, and merging with shorter-distance walkers made the finish congested. Late hills and heat added to the challenge.

Pernilla Bredolt · 2025

Marathon

Pernilla liked the old-town section but found other stretches dull and the second lap quiet. Cold wind made her uncomfortable, and she disliked the water’s taste. She was pleased with her strong 3:42 finish but disappointed to receive a half-marathon shirt after full-marathon sizes ran out.

Marathon

The runner was happy to complete a first marathon but found the second half much harder as the heat increased. Conditions prevented the pace they had hoped to sustain.
