The 54th Isle of Wight Marathon

[Deleted User]

Got my race number through today and am really looking forward to what will be my first time at this event.

Looking at the details sent I can not see any mention of where the bag storage is. Does any one know if this is at Race HQ, at Ryde Rowing Club, or do you have to go somewhere else for this?

Also, now I have my race number do I have to register on the day, or is the registration for for late? on the day entries?

Julia T: has your race number arrived yet?

Hurrah! Yes it came this morning, number 80.

I had a really bad attempt at 20 yesterday and gave up at 14 miles, trouble was i got bored after 2 and three quarter hours of running past the same houses and factories  

Roll on 3 weeks tomorrow and some nice scenery to run in!

The baggage storage is at Race HQ - A good marathon but also a very tough course

Treforest Gump: thanks for that. Just wanted to make sure it was there to save any searching around on race morning. As for it being a tough course, I guess it adds to the fun.

Julia T: sorry to hear about having to give in at 14 miles. Some days running is like that. Maybe you need to run a new route to change the scenery to take your mind of things. I hope I am not fed up with racing by the time we run this. My mate is coming over with me, so we are going to hit the local pubs once I finish running, so that should be all the motivation I need to get round the course!

 sounds like a plan SR!

Did a 5K race today and PB'd so much happier. I did a Mo Farrah at the end, it finished on a running track and I outsprinted 4 men. I was imagining I was him - this for the gold medal - and all that
