Organizzazione impeccabile , arrivare in zona partenza è stato facilissimo con molti mezzi pubblici a disposizione, il percorso è molto bello anche se un po' duretto con molti avvallamenti che si sentono sulle gambe. Un'infinità di pubblico esultante e tantissimi punti musicali. Unica pecca (per la mia esperienza) è stato il pacco gara non all'altezza di tutta l'organizzazione della gara. Sono stato contentissimo di aver partecipato e se ne avrò la possibilità ci tornerò.

Dejlig by, men for mange deltagere. umuligt at løbe sit eget løb! Godt med forplejning/væske undervejs.

All the preparation and things leading up to the event we're so well organized It was very very hot but extremely well supported - felt safe at all times. The only recommendation would be to at the end not have the metal bridge as it crowded the place and made it long to get out to friends and supporters.

Great route, fantastic people
