Hi folks, is anyone here considering "Morpeth 2 Newcastle", the marathon? I have a pre entry email thingy but a bit tentative. Furthest I've ran is a few metres further than a half... I have however been slinging entries in for 'The' marathon in London off and on for over a decade with no joy. Any ideas on M2N - elevation profile - how many entrants there will be - what will the weather be like (joke) - anything basically... Thank yoooooooooooou. Ta

And another one... - will it be officially recognised as a marathon on PO10, Runbritain etc? I think that's part of the licencing. |

Mark, I've entered already. They're planning a ballot but offer entries now if you register beforehand. There will be closed roads for the race giving you 5 hours 30 mins to do it. I saw something somewhere that said 3000 entrants (or was it 7000?!). It should be good for Po10 or Run Britain... |

Cheers Rob, will give it a think over the weekend. Spectating the GNR might sway me.... |

Pants. According to the website ticket sales have ended and the ballot is next week. Disappointing. First I've heard of it.

JustTony, I just entered and although it initially said I'm only entering for the ballot, after I paid my notification email said that I have a guaranteed place as I'm in the first 6000 entrants.. |
