Having already done this marathon last year, this is just a brief update for this year’s edition.  Basically, the route has been improved to a relaxing and easier route.  There were less turnings and funny turns.  The water points were well replenished and there are also banana stations and sponge stations around.  In terms of slopes, there were not many steep ones and all were easy.  The race starts at 4 am as usual, which means it is still pretty dark at at the race start, most of the routes are brightly lit and visibility is not a problem.  Just make sure if you need to go into some dark corners for toilet, be very careful and alert of the drains as some are not covered.
