| Spectators | - | |||
| Weather | Nice sunshine, blue sky, low humidity | |||
| Course | Scenic lakes, passed along the famous South Beach | |||
| Organisation | Very well organized. Easy package pick-up, free transport via train for participants. Started promptly, music at the start which excited the crowd even more | |||
| Support | Bag depot very organized. Everyone was given the same bag with name tags for bags. Plenty Gatorade and gels available along the course as well as several very visible toilets. | |||
| Expo | Great advice received, free socks and gels but hoped for more stalls and cheaper prices | |||
| Medal | Excellent. Nicest one I have thus far | |||
| Goody Bag | Nice dry-fit top and hat | |||
| Difficulty | Mostly flat with small bridges and inclines | |||
| Recommend | Yes | |||
| Overall | Nice atmosphere, great crowd support, not too big in terms of participants, about 15,000 marathon and half marathon together but you’re never alone | |||
