Hubby and I were at the Cup Final in 1989. Just thought I'd mention it ;-)))

Sprint..? In a marathon..?

Nutcase.

Redhead · October 2006

Hi Cath <waves>, thought I'd better sprint with the toffees around!

[Deleted User] · November 2006

Soooo, does anyone fancy a liverpool marathon?, or shall we all meet up on stanley park and have a MASSIVE game of footy instead?

Personally i dont mind either way!! I'll be happy to partner the sprinting toffee up front, outsprint the cougie and nudge a few past the redhead!!

[Deleted User] · November 2006

the game would be too easy minsterman... i wouldnt even need to train, i need a challenge bring on the marathon! how are the discussions going with run liverpool/ firefighters association etc?

[Deleted User] · November 2006

oooooooh
marathon please

[Deleted User] · November 2006

i think a realistic target would be 10,000 with a 15,000 limit...

[Deleted User] · November 2006

let me AT it!!!!!!!!!

[Deleted User] · November 2006

Well there's plenty Lurking to see what happens.

For me its perfect timing despite the potential heat - I will get some serious training done whilst on holiday in 30 degrees - and it won't be that hot in Liverpool in August -

Now then Alan how about an update?

[Deleted User] · November 2006

To those who are confused, the Liverpool Half Marathon will on Sunday, 25th March. No changes are planned to the event or course and everything should remain the same as in 2005 /6 (subject to regeneration work in the city). The London Marathon Company are not delivering the event in 2007 and I am not in a position to comment on why. Anyone keen enough to the reasons should contact the London Marathon Company direct. The Silverstone (HM) event is on March 18th, the week before.
Liverpool Half marathon entries are being taken via Runner's World or an entry form can be downloaded from www.runliverpool.org.uk

erm...........marathon?

[Deleted User] · November 2006

There will not be any further updates on a 2008 Liverpool Marathon until Liverpool City Council / Culture Company confirm their support.

[Deleted User] · November 2006

Cheers Alan, stay on their case it would be a great race!

Redhead · November 2006

I got all excited when I saw the thread was active again.

Come on Liverpool CC, we need to know!

[Deleted User] · November 2006

I have a suggestion for you redhead, and the toffee and the cougs and everyone else.

Get in touch with your local councillor and raise this as an issue with them. Discussions with them can bring about real change since they can directly influence the decisions made by Liverpool City Council - since they represent you as a consituent.

http://councillors.liverpool.gov.uk/mgFindCouncillor.asp?J=2

Follow this link, and select your area in the "Ward" to find out who your councillor is. You can simply send them an email to ask about the possibility of the Marathon.

More requests will bring more political inertia towards making it happen!!

cougie · November 2006

Good idea !

fat face · November 2006

Excellent idea. I probably won't run it coz i don't like running but I'd love to see it happen. Wonder if they would take notice of councillors from outside Liverpool CC.

[Deleted User] · November 2006

Try your MP... Who knows??!!

Redhead · November 2006

Great idea Minsterman but I'm down in East Sussex so they probably wouldn't care what I think.

[Deleted User] · November 2006

Well, I take your point - But you could at least make them make the decision to not care...!! Its only an email!!

Howdy, Stranger!
