Hiya, RB
Paris marathon is easy to enter via their website. Instant entry once paid.
Collect number at their expo, but you need a copy of a certificate of "health" from your Dr.
Lovely race, not as crowded as London but it is gaining in popularity.
We need to close this thread soon, and all go onto the Brighton Rocks 2011 threa, me thinks !
I didn't miss my music on Sunday but if it had been chucking it down with rain and blowing a gale with only a few spectators I would have needed it to help get me round!
with earphones in you would not be able to generate a big guffaw and smile when the person running next to you cracks off a big fart.......he looked pleased and happy to have got rid of the trapped wind as well.....
***STOP PRESS***
Provisional date for BM2011 is.... Drum roll.... 7th May 2011.
It's been release to the Argus here: BM 2011
Sorry...
Entries into marathon is 7th May 2010
Actual race 10th April 2011.
2BTiny - I took someones place this year after the entrance had closed, all official exchange.
Ipod debate There were a couple running near me at one stage wearing them and I could hear their music and every time they had a conversation they were shouting at each other followed by 'what you say', take the bl***y things off and then they could have heard. They would have been oblivious to emergency vehicles. Shame the organisers didn't have the b***s to disqualify people.
I've applied to the advance VLM ballot for 2011 because of the 2 rejections so see what happens, would love to come back to Brighton though.
RichardB - I agree with the ipods they were meant to be banned so they should have enforced it, I normally run with one but the crowds were fantastic and would not have spoilt it by wearing an ipod.
Roll on Brighton next year, I am also going to do the Cransley Hospice half Marathon in September it is at Cranford.
Cransley is a nice little half and for a great local charity, I was thinking of doing it again this year as I didn't get in the GNR ballot. For some reason that day (3rd Sunday of September) is always a hot day 26 degrees when I did it and quite a hilly course and the only shade seemed to be the last mile which was down hill.
"The Argus understands that if the race is given the go ahead, the second Brighton Marathon is likely to take place on Sunday April 10, the week before the 2011 London Marathon."
The provisional date of May 7 has been set for marathon entries.
They also hope to have an additional 3,000 runners taking it upto 15,000.
evening all
that great news if it happens i to only got in on the second bite of the cherry this year and would like to have a place without having to hope there are places given back
still haven't got out for a run yet will try again Friday or Saturday
Evening
I know there are a few ultramarathoners on here so i have a quick question...I am due to take part in a 52 miler in July....I am not looking at this as a race but rather as a challenge and with a goal just to complete it in a decent time. Can anyone recommend what training i need to do for this compared to the training I have just done for this marathon? Any training programmes you can recommend/websites etc would be very useful.
Thank you.
marmalade - are you doing the 52 mile Challenge in Kent?
Looking at my training log I did a marathon in April and in May, and then carried on with normal marathon training. I suppose it depends on what time you want to do. I did the 52.4 mile course in 11:52. Good Luck !
If anyone sees Redhead on Sunday........she should be easy to spot...........tell her to contact me............I still have a lovely Brighton Marathon Photo of her.
Hoping to see the doc today with my knee......starting to really worry about it now!
Morning all
2btiny i am sorry to hear that let’s hope that the doctor says it’s nothing to worry about
Yes Tracey G......I'm doing the Kent one...are you or have you done it before??
