I ran the 42.195 kilometres of this marathon and I was very disappointed in the quality of its organisation. Moreover, this is why the number of marathon runners did not exceed 70. After finishing at 3:34, there were no refreshments, medals or assistance. I do not recommend this so long as the organisers to not fix it.
