Somewhat disappointment with Zurich Marathon organisation

Little disappointed by Zurich Marathon this year - and I am not talking about the weather, but the organisation. Bottled water! Why? Why? That is so not Swiss to use plastic bottles instead of the usual paper cups. Not to mention it was so hard to drink from the tiny bottle, but the sheer amount of wastage! The finish line was a chaos, spectators completely blocking running track, and sometimes kids getting in the way of runners. And today I read in the newspaper that baggage claim was total chaos too, just 3 volunteers and runners had to wait more than 30min in the cold to get their bags back! Thanks to Asha volunteers our bags were ready as soon as we finished. I hope next year's organisation is better.
