I can recommend a lovely guest house on the outskirts of the city centre, see link http://www.airdenhouse.co.uk/
Cheers everyone on thre hotel situation. I have looked at Booking.com tonight and can see alot of choice. What I have to decide is how far am I prepared to walk to start. I know York quite well but am unsure how far the start is away from say Minster so I can get a grip on distance to start alot of hotels are. I have also seen a couple of nice looking hotels at University side of city which look OK.
I'm in
1st timer and so looking forward to it.
Glad you have accomodation sorted BP, so important
Good for you marshalling Nykie, I always appreciate marshall support when running and I hope I can do the same one day.
Steve 1881 well done. Someone said to me you will only run one 1st marathon so enjoy! I took that advice and despite the weather loved every minute of Manchester last year. I did my best to take it all in the supporters, views, atmosphere etc It was a bit heads down to cope witht he wind and rain but I was lifted every time someone made a kind comment or clapped
3.46 in 2008. Ran 10k today 1 hr 56 sec. Lots of training to do. Would love to do do sub 4 hr
Anyone north Leeds interested in joining up for long weekend run nearer the time, let me know
I think I may have to start training for this early this time as away Island hopping in Greece for 3 weeks, home for 4 weeks then the Marathon.
Looking forward to it once get Barcelona out the way
.
I was going to leave entering this for a few weeks but glad I didn't now - entered last Thursday.
Not sorted a hotel out yet - plenty of them in York and the surrounding area. I may travel on the day if prices go through the roof.
Andrew Mitchell 14 I think prices have gone through the roof, i'd advise booking sooner rather than later, I booked a travelodge near the start at £27 a night, now heard its £117 a night!!!!
Hi EKGO here we go again lol
I am sure that many of the first timers will love it , York is a beautiful city and also the rural parts means plenty of lovely scenery to take in
I ran Chester last year and you started off running through the city and then it went out into the countryside, into Wales back into England and it felt very rural but there were so many other runners around you it kind of kept you going and if you are struggling you will be suprised how many people do tap you on the back and say keep going, you're doing great
Name on the t.shirt definitely helps, front and back so people can give your name a shout
I am so excited about this one, not that i'm wishing the year away but roll on October lol
well done to all those who got in
we all had to make a quick decision! I thought I would see how I felt after M of the N in April but glad I didn't! Looking forward to a local marathon and some of my friends have said they will come and support
Hope everyone ok in this bad weather, I actually love running on snow
I thought they were releasing a 1000 more places but not sure when. I do not mind running in the snow if off road or on road with Yaktrax.
I missed out on the entry but have registered for the waiting list. But don't know if they will add more places or just replace people who drop out - which will generally mean I won't find out till close to race day!!
It's our wedding anniversary that weekend & my original plan was to have a weekend in York. My (non running) wife has now graciously agreed to postpone celebrations until post race so we're driving through to York on the morning of the race. We've then booked two nights post race in a nice hotel near Whitby. Got a bargain using Tesco Clubcard points
Just a thought, perhaps the university might offer some rooms?
Obviously quite unlikely as it will be quite near a new year, but when I was at uni there I remember that non-students were able to use certain room. Might just have been out of term time of course.
Been to both The Magpie & Trenchers over the years - both are excellent but the Magpie is my favourite. Sounds like an ideal post marathon recovery
