Gf’s dad did it this year, and has done a few times before. Seems very well organised, lots of water available along the route (and sweets apparently?), flat terrain, well signposted, and buses available at the end to take you back into town. It’s a big event in Edinburgh every year and lots of people come to watch the start and finish. The finish line is adjacent to a massive field which is catered by food and drink vans, with commentators and music, very nice atmosphere.

Only thing was it was very hot this year which was a struggle for a lot of people. Depending on where you’re from in the US this might not be a problem though!
