No, I wasn't offended. I just don't want to be inaccurate in what I say. I'm not flouncing. Genuinely want to be fair. *sincere happy friendly face*. I'd love to see a the option of a half in that area and to be fit enough to do it in a couple of years. |

I'm not sure they've picked the best date for a new marathon... the end of April is always busy with lots of other options.

Exactly PH, and it's only 30-35 mile away. That's where I'll be next year.

Leeds Marathon is possibly on the cards. People in the know are talking about it. Course would take some working out - we get enough complaints with the Dash and having marshalled the Leeds half as well, there's whinging about that as well. It's vitally important to get to Morrison's at 10am on a Sunday morning, see! They've picked the worst possible date - it clashes with both the 3 Peaks and Manchester Marathon - why they didn't go for late May (e.g. Edinboro weekend), I don't know, they'd have more interest then. |

I remember as a boy growing up in Leeds there used to be one. Wasn't it two laps of similar to the current Leeds HM route? I'd even miss the Greater Manchester Marathon, that goes passed the end of my road, if it clashed with a "home" marathon in Leeds
