As for a date, I'm figuring any date that doesn't clash with other stuff, as far as possible. I was wondering about something like Silverstone, because we could perhaps hire the track, and then it's simple - no road closures, private land, fewer H&S police. I'd like to make it a marathon, but I think it would be more realistic to get more people involved if we go for a half marathon. I also thought that if we can turn a small profit with the entry fees, we can give it to Mick as a donation to help him with race attendance throughout the year. Any thoughts?
Hendo Feb 2008 9:26pm, 6 Feb 2008 13,364 posts	0 Hendo Why not a track marathon? Okay maybe a bit extreme. Was going to suggest a towpath run too, but I guess that could actually potentially exlude the boys, which would be a bit daft. Draycote? Anything similar around there? Must be loads of lakes up your way.
