monsenb1 Oct 2021 6:43pm, 26 Oct 2021 2,106 posts	0 monsenb1 I've done the RnR half 3 times and the RnR marathon twice. As an event, I must say enjoyed them all.. I like the fact they give you a proper beer at the end, I like the medals, I like the route better than the btr route, even though it is similar in most aspects.. by going down Matthew Street and Penny Lane it really makes it more special (and in the marathon visiting Anfield and Goodison Park). I like the bands every mile.. but there have been a lot of problems and they gave up this year as it is their final event.

monsenb1 Dec 2021 5:01pm, 15 Dec 2021 2,123 posts	0 monsenb1 Really enjoyed this one, the weather was grey at the start but improved as the race went on.. I ran around with Sushi, its becoming quite a tradition, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Also saw snogard and she joined in the fun afterward, which included eating flapjack, drinking eggnog and trying to reenact a scene from the iconic running move, run fatboy run.. all that and 10 miles running before lunch...
