(Though do feel for poor Kaja's experience, not good...)

TZ May 2011 9:04am, 16 May 2011 386 posts	Quote Pin TZ Thanks all! I really enjoyed Richmond as a venue for my 50th - so many friends I have met on the marathon scene and a lovely setting with a great big bag of goodies too. Hope to do my next 50 in less than the 5 years the first half-century took!
Traviss May 2011 9:31am, 16 May 2011 178 posts	Quote Pin Traviss When Liverpool Feet got to the finish line, they'd all packed up and gone home! Which was obviously rather upsetting for the poor soul, especially as the marshalls as late as 4km from the finish had been cheering her along. I'm not sure what time she actually finished in, it would have been well over 6 hours, and someone had mentioned that they were aware of a 6 hour limit (though I couldn't find that on the website or the pre-race instructions). But did seem rather odd that someone got left out on the course like that in what otherwise was a very well done marathon.

I did a lovelly low key event in Shropshire the Clun Valley Challenge clunvalleychallenge.com Spectacular scenery and views, well organised, friendly marshalls, a 26 mile route description on two sides of A4 and outstanding catering. We had cakes, sandwiches, posh squash, tea, coffee, bottled water, apples, chocolate bars at the checkpoints and a gourmet buffet at the end. This really is a little gem I will definately be back. Took 6:50 but with over 4,000 ft of ascent and all that food to eat I am happy with the time.
