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!

Anyone ran this also anyone know how it compares to Gloucester Marathon?

I know both are hilly and 3 laps... but I've heard Cotswold is tougher. I enjoyed the 3 lap of Gloucester though :)

I usually throw in a couple more ps than that.

Surprisingly I haven't done Gloucester so can't provide a direct comparison. Cotswold is not too bad, one big hill 3 times of course. I would say Cotswold is a standard + 5-10 minutes course. Well organised, small event feel to it. Middle of nowhere location is the only real drawback.
