I didn't run it this year, but did for last year's- I never had an experience of having to run between cars. Last year's one was relatively good though from my personal perspective, sound like this year's one is rather bad from the feedback I get from other runners as well. Isn't it a safety issue with cars and runners on the roads at the same time? whoa! is it that bad?

Isn’t it a safety issue with cars and runners on the roads at the same time?

Terrible organization
- two bathrooms in the whole race
- running between cars
- course not separated from open streets
- hot drinks in the race stands
- only one distance marker (wrong positioned)
- people sitting and standing right in the finish line

Is there anything else that could be wrong in this 2008 marathon?

I have a friend who was not passed the pink ribbon when he ran the loop 2 times, so he have to do 2 additional loops. I heard there are some runners who did only one loop but got through and finished. I guess it's very difficult to track actually how many people ran there and get the finishers in. For the organisers this year, if the loop is still present, hope they will put a big sign board telling runners how many rounds to run the loop and maybe have champion chip mats as well.
