I’ve just watched the official video, I see what you mean about the stadium. If your at the front of the race the stadium is very quite, but fills out as more people finsh. There is a big clock just behind the finish arch. They cant have a huge arch as they are not allowed to go on to the pitch.
I’m sure its not as pretty a York, but not many places are going to be.
The first 6 or 7 miles are on closed roads, then it goes on to the Redways around the outskirts. Suppoert is patchy.
Depends where your coming from, I’m sure there is better.
It is very well organised though
