Big_G Sep 2022 7:32pm, 17 Sep 2022 2,002 posts	0 Big_G I’ve ran a few times with Nathan Flear who is currently in 37th. He won’t know me, but I’ve done a couple of marathons with him, including Sofia marathon. Well, I’m say ‘ran with’, but obviously I’m well behind, but he did one marathon I remember as a training run and he was really friendly and explaining his ambitions of getting into the GB team.

The general tone of their site doesn't give me the feeling of confidence in them putting on an event like this, but can't put my finger on exactly what's niggling at me.
