I may start looking for a unique bottle to deposit at one of the drink stations!
21 miler completed yesterday with no real issues - a great boost with 6 weeks to go. Hope to be feeling as good on the 1st May.
Course now signed.
White directional arrows at juntions, yellow mile markers and red paint used to position water stops and sponge stations.
The race was full but due to retirements (injuries etc... ) I have reopened entries.
Unlike most races we offer a 'retirement package' ie you can get a full refund, donate your entry fee or pass your entry to another runner should you find yourself unable to take part. The entry then gets offered the first person on the waiting list or should there be no waiting list, online entries are reopened on runners' world.
Race Information for marathon runners now available from the website

Personally mine's been a bit up and down, 20 mile pb (surrey spitfire) 20 mile slowest (meon valley), currently got cold, hay fever and over training all in one so missed out on my last long run this week, hopefully I've done enough.
Hopefully weather will be a bit cooler than those that did Brighton this weekend.
Just managed to sneak into this race as a couple of places were available last night...... just the ticket for a long weekend in Dorset!
Looking forward to the run very much, need to have a read through the runner info later. Not sure how I'll do - have just done the Brighton Marathon, so hopefully two and a bit weeks will be enough time for the muscles to return to normal!
I got round Brighton in 4:08 - is anyone here of similar ability?
Hope so USB
Does not know of any local campsite?
anyone know what time this race kicks of f.
and dear secretary that link don,t seem to be working all i get is the file is broken ,that encludes the one you sent to me by email
I am not sure why it doesn't work... The file is there and is ok.
What browser are you using? Have you got Adobe Reader installed?
If you send me an email I will send you back the pdf but it's rather large that's why I did not mail it to everyone...
Having a tough time finding workable accommodation without a car though (was planning on coming by train to Gillingham) - anyone know a local B&B which is friendly enough to offer a lift to the race start? Am assuming that any local taxis will be totally booked up. I've been working through the list on the event website but no luck yet.
Hi all,
This is going to be my first marathon. Have done a few half marathons and finished between 1hr40m - 1hr50m. But the training for a marathon has been a killer.....really struggling at the 15 - 18 mile mark, really struggling.
Will be happy with anything around 4hrs (probably more like 4.5hrs).
See you all on the day!
(A VERY nervous)

There is a list of local B&B on the website. Some of those offer lift to the start.
Alternatively let me know and I can ask if some of our marshals could help.
Everything in Sturminster Newton is booked out according to the tourist office, and I've tried those B&Bs who also offer lifts to the start on your list but no luck so far... had 9 'nos' and no 'yeses'!
*EDIT* Just heard that there is a last minute cancellation which I can take at a B&B in Sturminster Newton so actually I will be fine for transport. Thank you again for the offer though.
Is there anyone out there who has a place that they don't want anymore?
Thanks in advance.
Ran an easy 10 miles today, just a couple of runs in the week and that will be it. Ate too much dinner and chocolate afterwards - perhaps I can just put it down to over enthusiastic refueling! Bit more chocolate this evening me thinks. The weather forecast looks like it will be cooling during the week which would be welcome for Sunday.
hi folks, full on taper mode now.....
Looking very much forward to the event.
Here's to hoping that it will cool down between now and Sunday,,,,,
well i guess most of the hard works done now ,just hope the weather is right for the day
I've had a few jogs and cold baths between but no hard training - figured recovery was more important than distance now. Fingers crossed for Sunday
