Mate did Edinburgh this year. Said the run was ok, but the finish was a shambles, but the finish point had changed from previous years.
The finish this year was a complete balls-up. You turned a corner and then had 385 yards to run which was fantastic, but they had contrived to keep the majority of supporters away from the run-in!
The post-finish and baggage reclaim was all in a line down quite a narrow street and it was an absolute log jam.
The finish has changed for this year, presumably because of the feedback from runners, everyone I met mentioned it!
Having said that I would do it again with the same finish, the course is good (more challenging than they make out) and the crowds, although not in the same league as London, do a fantastic job of encouraging the runners. Now if they could hide the power station for a day, so that you can’t see how far away it is, that would be perfect!
