Having done Manchester three times and Liverpool twice, I am thinking about trying something new next year so I'm interested to know which marathons you folks enjoy the most. I am in the London ballot, of course, but in the likely event I don't get in, I'll need a good alternative. I am open to foreign races though I have a limited income so I wouldn't want to travel to the other side of the world, and I would definitely prefer a race that uses bottles and not cups, so I don't end up waterboarding myself at the aid stations.

They changed the route this year so you actually stay in Edinburgh for the first few miles instead of immediately running out to East Lothian. It's UK based so fits your travel budget hopefully. In some past years, organisation had some hiccups but it seems to have been ok recently and worked well this year. They used bottles and most of the stations gave you a choice of caps on or not.
Someone that's run Edinburgh and other marathons would be better placed to comment but that's a starter for ten.
