What did you NOT like in "Danske Bank Vilnius Marathon"? What would you advise to improve or change?
My own result.. Better luck next year!!

There could be more people working at water points- so that runner can just pass by and grab a glass of water. In almost all water points there was a waiting line
Starting time for 10 km. Was too hot under direct sunshine, this fact powerfully influenced on the result time.
Information about showers closing time was missing. After 10 km race I did not get there in time :(
the process of printing the results on the medals is horrible! in 2015, i spent 30 minutes in the queue, then had to wait 2 hours; in 2016, i spent 50 minutes in the queue only to be told that "the system does not show the results yet"; i left my medals to be mailed later on – (1) no receipt, so i have no confirmation that i gave them (2) my address was written down on some piece of paper which can easily get lost. it is a shame, that Lithuania – with strong IT ambitions – looks like a backwater country at the most important point in the race for all the guests – when the results are being imprinted. to wait for ~hour !! and to see that the results are not in, is a super lowdown.
To have the bib number posted to overseas entrants
Information about the medal engraving was unclear. There should have been information that if you want your medal engraved, and you have not payed yet, you have to go to the information desk, and pay there first! Now we queued a long time in the engraving line and we were told to go the info and queue there and when we had paeyd we have to queue back to the engraving line. Also the service was poor there, information was unclear. Too many things we written only in lithuania.
Some of the distances were preparing to start when others have not finished. It caused last runners not to finish as normal. Pacemakers at marathon were not running at constant pace.
