seriously, it is listed on runners world
otherwise Wolverhampton ( thats very near me so could definitely come and cheer you on )
nottingham and new forrest i believe are in sept as well
Nov I think it was Rutland or Luton
and Dec Portsmouth
hope that helps
hopefully might get to see at the Wales Tenby one as my bf is doing that one
I have done the Half in Wolvo so would like to do a different one. I live in Brum so not too far,
I am thinking about doing back to backs in April but not sure if it is a good idea, doing the Bath Beat and then Worcester./
Hi Hannahsmom, it was good, a little faster than Gloucester which is surprising considering it was much much harder, I must fit the odd half in as well, I usually do the English half at Warrington, and did you ever get the group photo from the Gloucester run sorted I've not seen it yet and I'd love a copy ?
my next one could be next saturday at Belvoir, have to get my blisters sorted first and throw the damn shoes out..
in March I have the LLanelli ultra, or Blackpool (maybe even both).
Spen for December I can recommend the Liverbird Double but its on new years eve, and again the following day, and for Oct the Chester was fantastic last year, the finish at the Racecourse was out of this world, definitely on my list.
I agree, It was my first one and it is fantastic . Of course I am biased as hell. Everyone I meet I tell to do it.
Spen you could do the Abingdon one in October, i've heard thats good and last year Ulen did the Liverpool Marathon and I have to say as someone who got involved in the threads on there, the atmosphere was fantastic and ask any runner who did it what it was like coming out the tunnel, people said it made their hairs stand up on end.
The lovely thing about the Liverpool marathon is the Alan who organises it takes part in the forums so if u have any questions he really does answer them and it does create a real good feel to it all
After the race we went out with a bunch of runnersworld buddies, met up in the pub after ( must of been about 20 of us ) and then went off for food as well, it was a real good ending to the day, i've not known that with any other marathon i've been too ( perhaps other people have had similar experiences but as one who has been along to 3 marathons now, i've never known that before )
Wolverhampton is apparently well turned out for supporters and its 2 laps may go along this year if it doesnt clash with anything
was going to post it on the Gloucester marathon but cant find the thread as its too far back now, i can send u the public link to my FB album but dont want to post it here so if you inbox me on here with your email address i'll email the link to you so you can see them
Sadly not - as I found out that entries closed last Friday (17th) as the race has filled up in record time. You can still enter, and put your name on the waiting list. I guess I'll be considering Chester and or Liverpool in October instead - and have to hope that they don't fill up before I get around to entering them too...
I think this link is useful for tracking down marathons:

I need to stop worrying about the fact I may miss out on my local marathon now, and just look forward to the 2nd of my 12, which is a week on Sunday...

I've stocked up with 4 boxes to see me through the year (best before Feb 2013).
Good for you, I tried the High 5 race pack and that was really good, probably about 10 gels and 5 or 6 powder drink mixes for about £4.50, let us know how you get on in Cornwall, I've had nearly two weeks rest since Cotswolds Marathon, I broke a toe at 20 miles coming downhill and it's just about ready for a run this weekend. I have a 10k, a fell race and a half this month in prep for the Llanelli ultra 37 at month end.
Outdoor running, indoor running, gym and leisure wear. Why, I ask you, would I need to bin any? The only pair not in use is the pair I ran the London Marathon in, and I'm NEVER going to bin those!!!
I did 2hours 37, i know its snail pace to you lol but it was a really hot day, i was treating it as a training run for london and decided to slow the pace right down
the goodnews is I felt great after it, only a small knee niggle at mile 12 but i was too high on adrenilin by then and cried so much after i finished that st.johns ambulance guy asked me if i was ok lol
i think it was because there were so many people dropping like flies and being stretchered off cos the heat caught alot of people out!
but thoroughly enjoyed it, would love to do another HM but dont think i will find one now that will fit in my training plan before london
