Gibster Athens Classic Marathon - what an experience to run this race 2,500 years after the battle of marathon. The race started well, ran around the burial sight of the soldiers, and then we accended the hill 16 miles[Radcliiffe Hill] - like Saddleworth Road, Stainland 7 !!! walked and cramped, the finish was amazing the 1896 Olympic Stadium! Great holiday followed in Athens. Stainland Lions RC 3:54:11 4:32:31 4:15:00 4:48:05 46.09

Prof Disco Dean very pleased with time, ran the first 30k with Tristan (run like crazy) then had to let him go! did superb splits 1.40/1.41 on  quite a tough course with 21c max temp, with great support through out and a incredible finish! this one was for my aunt who sadly past away 10 days prior!!

tipsku My first marathon ever and quite a difficult one. First 10k quite congested, started overtaking the previous wave at 2km, the next one at 4 km. Faster 5k and 10k times than I thought I would be able to clock in a marathon. HM in 2:10, ascent from km 18-31 pretty tough but doable. Final 11km downhill, thighs burned like hell at km 38. I'm definitely not made for running downhill. Still managed to run across the finish line earlier than I thought I would. Absolutely incredible feeling when entering the Olympic Stadium. I'd recommend this run to every runner, a must-do! Cybi Striders, LG eXa Leipzig 3:29:36 4:33:37 4:45:00 4:33:37 48.96
