Mark81 Aug 2019 1:39pm, 14 Aug 2019 3 posts	0 Mark81 Hi, I am looking to spread my proverbial wings (legs) in 2020 and take part in at least a couple of European Half Marathons. An interesting city to explore in the couple of days i'll have there is equally important as the race itself. Can any Fetchies recommend some from personal experience, please? Tallinn, Munich and Budapest are all appealing so far.. Cheers, Mark

I've heard good things about the course, though it does end on an uphill I believe. Plus, with 't eurostar it's super easy to get to
