I've been thinking about this for a while. Unfinished business, after the atrocious apocalyptic conditions from last year. I'm in! [not yet cleared it with senior management, but it's my goal race after Mablethorpe marathon 14 Sept]. |

yeah i have got a really busy schedule around that time. Biggest problem is holiday, I don't know if it is possible to take 2 weeks holiday just 1 or 2 weeks before the race. the holidays would mean no running at all

Not done this one before. What's the terrain like? Standard trail or is it hilly as well? I sent off my application yesterday - what a bargain at £16 including a place to sleep. Anyone doing the Hastings marathon the next day as well? Makes for a decent last training weekend before the Christmas 'recovery' period. |

It's flat, but lots of it is on trails rather than hard pack / tarmac. That means slippy and very muddy in the wet.

KinkyS- hypothermia! Lightweight. Should have run through it, like the rest of us... I was too wet and cold to notice stuff like that. |
