I see from your front page there is a banner for 'see us on five', however this doesn't link to five, when is it on?
I see also that the results are in today's Edinburgh News, not a lot of use to someone in Essex!!! I thought they were going to be on the website within 2 days, what's the news on this?
At least you did get a reply to your results query. My first email was ignored, 2nd one said "don't understand the question!". Phoned today and told they won't do results and she seemed surprised when told that 'proper' races produce the results for an international audience (either a national newspaper or ('and', in the case of Chicago) results booklet.
I wished her well in making it a big marathon but explained they have an awful lot to learn.
Last year my brother made me a dvd using his video recorder and it was far more professional.
I was informed over a rather crackly line that both Monday & Tuesdays papers had coverage with the results in on Tuesday.
For a cheque for £2.40 I duly recieved the two papers from which I learnt that I had been placed 2531st. having beaten nearly 2000 people in my 2nd marathon I'm happy with that!
I ordered one and it still has not arrived. Not only that, the organisers have ignored my email sent 2 weeks ago asking when I am likely to receive it. I managed to talk to someone on the phone about 6 weeks ago and they said they had had some sort of production problems but still no more news other than the website claiming that 'delivery will be made 6-8 weeks after the event'.
Mine arrived in the middle of August. Actually it's not brilliant. It's the highlights from Channel 5 with terrible commentary. But it's nice to see the route again. Then there is an hour of the finish line, split into 10 minute sections. So you see yourself finishing (providing nobody stands in front of the camera). For the money, I would have thought they could have placed the camera a bit higher. You can hear the guy telling people to get out of the way!
Wasn't overly impressed with it at all though considering it was exactly the same content as the coverage of the race on Channel 5 which I already had on video and the finishing line section was poor (for me at least) as some eejit stopped right in front of the only camera as I was crossing the line and all you could see of me was the cap I was wearing!
