Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I've forgotten what it's like to run in 10 degrees. I've been wearing three layers (+ gloves) in all my runs throughout March and into April!

I quite like the desolate, smelly bit too. Though to be fair, I felt pretty desolate from 16 miles last year...

LOL! I have a nightmare project on the go that is keeping from panic mode. Good thing in a way, except for waking up too early.

Im liking reading about peoples thoughts on parts of the course,more!

Weather is good,I think. Unsure aswell what a 17mph wind feels like? Wind or Breeze?

The first 5 miles good,though the town?

Which are the busy bits (other than the finish)

Finished reading Charlie Spedding's Last to First this morning, very good read! Reinforces what a positive approach and commitment to a race can achieve!

The start naturally is busy as is the first miles through Brighton .. The other part it gets busy is the loop at 9 miles before you head back to the pier for 13.1 miles .. They funnel the marathon into a single road. Apart from that its ok as a runner crowd wise the promenade is always busy .

The switchback bit through Hove has great crowd support - they play music on speakers in their gardens and are great.
