Sorry I don't want to be negative, but I am just dissapointed! It was difficult to catch the start point and there was no poster at the area about the race, and I had to walk about 7km to catch the start point with help of my phones GPS. There were just two water stations during the marathon, one in every 3,5 km and just one or two persons who servered the water which make people to wait until they bring a water. There were a local people who walked with theres kind animals and some people road thiers bike at the same filed as us in the race which was not a good idea. After marathon we get just a medal made from wood, not good guality. And there was no nutritions at all! No juice, fruits or carbs. Not even Pizza party or at least a slice Pizza after the marathon as they worte on the description. So If you don't have your own bars or nutritions during or after the race, you will just crash down! I couldn't see that was a running festival att all, It can be a local running, but not more. The staff was helpful and all persons who worked there was kind and welcoming, but that was not enough to arrange marathon specially if there is people who traveled from another countries to joine the race. We get results by e-mails with split every 7km. Some people get photos from the race and some not. I can absolutely undersatnd that it's the second year with this race, but I wish that it'll be better at next time in the wonderful Edinburg running festival.

6x7km in falt road.
