Thanks for the map and answer to my route question Stephen.
Good luck everyone.
Looks like the wind is due to die down on Monday so hopefully it'll happen a bit earlier than forecast.
Thanks Compo, but I'm even more confused now!! Can't see any Marine Hall on a Princes Way....
Is this it.....on Esplanade?? Because there appears to be another Marine Hall off Queens Terrace nearby....

Thanks Martin for the map, it helps alot.
Yes I have done a couple of 20 milers, but am a plodder so hoping to do this in under 5 hours.
just follow it till you see Leisure centre swimming pool on left if you come to fleetwood docks you have gone to far
Cheers Compo. Just changed to the full.
Hope the marshals have torches & search & rescue dogs......I might be out there a while......
Ria what time do you think you will do?
If you enter on the day Entry Fee will be smaller because we have now hit the limit for medals & T shirts
Stephen, I entered the half ages ago & asked last week to change to the full. I never wanted to up my entry to the full on the day, but had to check with you first whether it was full up, but you wouldn't reply to my emails. I ain't doing a marathon with no medal.
As I told you yesterday, I posted you the extra money to enter the full yesterday, so you should have it today. So I'm not an "entry on the day".
XB yes at least there will be other running at my pace, was concerned I would be plain last.......
Should run most of it but at slow speed.
See you all there!!!
Could be XB.
I might still be classed as a late entry though & get no medal. 
In which case I'll go back to my HM early entry! I'm really in the mood for a full though!! Just feel up for it.
I'm hoping for 5 hrs 59 Stephen. Though will probably be over 6......
Good luck everyone. Hope you all get PB's as Blackpool is so flat.
Oh thanks Lil Chef! But Lord S has my entry so I'm pre-entered so will get my medal.
(If I finish....)
You CAN'T put yours in the bin! Save it to pass onto your kids if you have any!!
I adore my medals!
You're doing this one aren't you Compo? No walking & 3 hrs 59????
Hello Every Marvelous, Wonderful, Lovely Runner geting ready for Fleetwood.
I was there today....bright and very breezy.
I'm signed up for my first +10K event in about 20 years.
I really look forward to being with you and finding a nice tall 10 minute miler to tuck in behind for the long road home.
Go well everyone. xxx
Thank you BB.
I wish you the very best. I don't like the look of the wind speed.
Head down and one foot in front of another.!!
Blackpool's weather is always insane.
It was snowing for the HM in Feb, & we nearly died of heatstroke for a 5 miler in May.....
A bit of wind is tame for Blackpool!
Let's hope that the rules on course measurement have been complied with -
“Once a course is certified as correct, the Certificate of course accuracy will remain valid in subsequent years without re-measurement, provided the organiser confirms that the course is unchanged.”
Stephen,
Can you ask the organiser if he has re-measrured the courses?
it's part of the fun!
