About a mile apart, I reckon. Finish is by the pier. Start is the other side of the railway station.

Edinburgh is just like Brighton, but with water, organisation, no foxes chewing through cables and your relatives are allowed to watch you rather than being escorted into a lifeless stadium whilst you plod along the cold and windy road wondering where your bag has been left.

Edinburgh's just like Hull but with an extra 600m.

Nobody is forcing you, Scott. You could use the money to buy us wine instead.

still running
runner duck - we stayed in the Travelodge next to the start line this year. It's basic but it did the job perfectly and we could see the park from our room. It meant that we didn't have to leave the hotel until 8.20am which left us loads of time to get our stuff on the baggage lorries and have a walk around before the 9am start. If you do stay at the Travelodge there, here are my top tips based on this years experience: 1. take extra pillows 2. take extra towels 3. take extra LOO ROLL!
It is a bit of a trek back from the finish, but we (me and the husband) arranged a place to meet up afterwards and then got a taxi back. It cost about £7, but quite frankly I deserved it We had a look around the finish area the day before after we'd been to the expo at the Brighton Centre. Hope that helps and if you want to stay at that hotel, book early. I left it until June and it was nearly sold out.
