Just been sent through an email for early bird registration. Lots of promises that it will be a much more smoothly organised event and that it'll all be run on roads. Anyone interested?
I'd be up for it just waiting to see if I get through the london ballot first before entering. Last year was sh*tly organised but was only poorly organised from the point of view that the weather on the day was mental and messed up everyone. If they had taken a contigancy for more snow, rain and hail in a day than you would normalling expect is a couple of weeks it would have cost more and they would have looked like conpleate tools if it hadn't have happened. Got faith in them getting it better this time around and it's now the nearest local marathon to me so would be rude not to play.

There's another thread on the go about GMM 2013, btw - just so you can see what other people are thinking.....
Eeek, bit too technical for me.....hope this works. If it doesn't work it is on the forum under 'events'.
