Very nice Expo with lots of opportunities to get running stuff, take photos or have a coffee or grab some food at one of the food trucks. The race starts near the stadium and it´s very easy to get there by taxi / Uber which is extremely cheap in Moscow. Very well organized at the start with music, tribunes for spectators, food trucks, changing rooms etc. The course is flat and very scenic. It takes runners along the river Moskva to downtown and you pass by the famous Kreml and Basilica (Red Square) 2 times – really amazing! Atmosphere at the finish is also fantastic, several opportunities to take pictures in front of huge posters. All runners get a big medal and a T-Shirt. The only thing that could be improved is that at the water stations water was not always handed over to the runners but we had to take it ourselves from the table and the bag drop was a little bit chaotic, because all runners wanted to drop the bags as late as possible due to the bad weather. It was raining and quite cold even though weather in Moscow in May usually is fantastic!
