Mave Nov 2013 8:50am, 6 Nov 2013 1,173 posts	0 Mave Signed up to EMF marathon last night. Anyone else doing it? Or one of the other EMF races? Pretty excited now, it'll be my second marathon afetr doing London for the first time this year. Anyone done it before and have any advice re: getting to start line, getting from the finish line, accommodation etc? I got a bit startled by all the 'buy tickets to the start/finish' selling that was happening during race entry.

First time we stayed in town and got the bus back from the finish - loooong queues, took ages (but I think it might be better now). Second time we stayed in Musselburgh and walked back to the hotel - much better
