Organisation is fantastic, it's all about the runners (not the sponsors, the TV or the expo), no problems with finding your rightful place at the start. Facilities before running are good, relaxed atmosphere. Geared towards experienced runners; 3hr 30mins cut off time, but if you're happy with this and are looking for a PB it's a good choice. Beppu is a nice place too, small town atmosphere and a good relaxing weekend.
