A great thank you to all of the volunteers because they did an excellent job. Keeping the tables full and the road clean had to be very difficult with so many runners.

The people in Xiamen were amazing, cheering for runners constantly. The atmosphere was really really good.

I didn't however like the way I, and other runners, received my medal. Handing it to me in a bag made me very sad. The finish line was so long that it shouldn't be a problem to honour every runner with those few seconds of glory. I think you can improve this in the future.
