I cant seem to find anything that takes my fancy. I prefer more scenic exciting runs than your average city race. I live in Cambridgeshire if it helps. Any suggestions? It will be my fourth marathon too. Cheers.

DeeGee May 2012 9:12pm, 6 May 2012 11,759 posts	0 DeeGee Normally my generic answer to this question is, of course, Mablethorpe. Not as scenic as Rutland, though.

Lauchy May 2012 9:43pm, 8 May 2012 1,149 posts	0 Lauchy I've done Rutland, twice. Its on the list! I've looked in to Beachy. Thoughts? I like the sound of the Lincoln one too... its local. Has anyone run Leicester?
Binks May 2012 9:53pm, 8 May 2012 5,452 posts	0 Binks I love Leicester. That's a great marathon. Starts in the city and then goes all the way out to somewhere, then back in past that giant dildo thing then through the town centre to the end. Nice mile hill at the end to overtake people on
