The overall experiece was great, we didn't expect the heat so it was hard to run 15 km in the sun, after that there were trees and houses so you could run at least a bit in the shade.
The race starts at 10 am, a bit late specially for the weather conditions this year. We took the bus they offer from the train station to go to Abano, not the best but it works good. Luggage deposit was easy to find and fast to retrieve your bag after the race.
For the aid stations, many options as it was the second half of the marathon course (tea, salts, water, fruit). The course is pretty flat, I remember only two overpasses. People in Abano (where the spa hotels are!) were cheering in their bathrobes so that was fun, I didn't expect many people cheering but it was quite good considering the amount of people running both marathon and half (about 3500 I believe). The course scenery gets better once you get into the city, as you see the typical constructions, Duomo, Sant'Antonio Church, and the finish line is at Prato della Valle, one of the largest squares in Europe.
This year the sponsor was Nike and I loved the half-marathon t-shirts (white with the red logo on the back). The expo didn't have many stands and I hope they can improve that in the future.
