Yorkshire Marathon

Very mixed feelings about this, almost flat, event. Certainly not top of my 40+ marathons. On the positive side: easy to enter on-line, and number bib came through the post in good time. Well-manned baggage-drop tent. Chip-timing, with 10k splits (one of which was way out!) Drink stations and mile-markers all in place. Clear finish line with medals and goody bag well situated. Foil sheets and water available, plus alcohol-free beer. On the negative side: there was nothing happening on the day before; no expo. or pasta party...The 'race village' was poor and a bit of a trek to the start/finish area, the other side of the university. Very little in the way of refreshments. No parking within about half-mile (roadside). Not a run that I would choose to run again...except that it will be hosting the Masters Champs again next year.
