What did you NOT like in "Danske Bank Vilnius Marathon"? What would you advise to improve or change?
Technical finisher/participant t-shirt would be great
Fuel/Food station - water in cups which is terrible, needs to be a bottle. Lack of isotonic drinks at fuel stations, you increased the prices I would expect proper water bottles and isotonic drinks.
- lunch for marathon/half-marathon runners;
It was lack of showers, after run. Detail map of showers, shop, spa, etc. Maybe notes which could be better to see, like Food, water, izo water
The water/fruit service was slow and unreliable. At 5 km there was no fruit and only big bottles of water, at 15 km bananas ran out. The points would have needed more staff as they did not have time to fill the cups which resulted in chaos and unnecessary waiting by the tables. In the previous marathons where I have participated, the cups are filled with water and handed out to the runners. That allows not to break the rhythm of the run at the stops.
Downhills after 31 km and 39 km were too steep, especially the one before going to Uzupis. It was painful to run such a downhill with sore legs. There were too little toilets along the course! Had to go to the bushes. :(
Add multiple run through cold spray/mist shower lanes on the running route. IT WAS Very HOT for the runners and this would have helped cool many.
You should think about some food after marathon. People are hungry after running.
Trasa senamiesciu slydi ir pavojinga (nelygi, nepatogi). Susigrudimas finishuojant, nes vienam begimui baiginejantis jau susirikiuoja begikai ateinanciam begimui (reikia ilgesnio laiko tarpo). Nepatinka mokamas medaliu graviravimas ir foto, kurios mokamos ir nelabai grazios, nes nezinojom kada ir kur fotkins :(
Water and food supply could be better, 2 laps are annoying, post finish area could be better - now you can get only shity non alkoholic beer
