you may wanna enter quick as there's lots of interest in this one as its so well organised and runners are well cared for how many marathons have you done where you can say that ?? there's also 10k AND HALF MARA ON THE SAME DAY and timing chip (or was last year) it all adds up so go for it mate you will not regret it and you'll be back the following year just like me and others
chip timings as per last year also your results texted to your mobile phones. virtually every penny went to the RNLI last year. Mablethorpe marathon is a non-profit making organisation. RNLI ended up with about £5k last year in total. There is also a very generous goody bag included in your entry fee

any questions you think of email either here or our runners liason officer Terry Stow who will answer all questions. If he doesn't know the answer (which he probably will know) then he will find out asap and get back to you fairly quickly. the best liason officer i have ever come across
Not ran since before Xmas due to ongoing health probs which should be sorted in the next month, but have been cycling to keep joints loose! .....comeback plan is:
Woodhall spa 10k 3/6
Humber half marathon 24/6
Spilsby show 6 8/7
Mabo in Sept!
where is everyone?
I'm also running in the Woodhall Spa 10k 3/6, if you want a really flat 10k have a look at Sleaford 10k 20/5 that could be a nice tester for ya
my plans so far are
Sleaford 10k 20/5
Woodhall spa 10k 3/6
Sea Bank Marathon (Skegness - Boston) 10/6
Mabo Mara 16/9
Great Eastern Run (Peterborough half) 14/10
I'm actually training for my nemisis event the Sea Bank Mara at the moment so i'll see how things go after this event if i add any other races as i'll then be training for MABO
sorry to hear about health problems and hope you are better soon
good luck with the training
Peter Paine Sports Centre run the sea bank mara or are one of the main organisers in conjunction with Macmillan Cancer Relief, the address for them is Peter Paine Sports Centre is - Rosebery Avenue, Boston, Lincs PE21 7QR Tele - 01205 350222
This point to point event is older than FLM and started as a competition between a group of people as to who was or could do this distance quickest and has just gone on from there, the event is now set up to raise money for charity and the distance is irrevelent altho its damned close to a full mara (possible 1.5miles short) and if you take into account the uneven ground/styles/marsh land/sea banks up and down/high grasses=5ft or more you'll feel like you've done closer to 36 miles, once you've done this you'll wanna do it again if only to see if you can do better.
this year its from skeg to boston and is the one way i have always wanted to do cos as a local boy i can run towards the "STUMP" (bit like being a magnet)
its a toughy but its fun
yay, 3 miles done and no adverse effects...yet....
well another really hot marathon
put paid to any hopes I had of a fast time
finished in 3h48
decided that at 16-17miles to really slow things down despite loads of suncream still got burnt
only 3weeks till I start the training for Mabo
Only did 3 miles but was first run for about 10 weeks. Few aches this morning but nothing like it has been!
My hip is a bit stiff this morning...I'm not sparkling yet haggus!
Not doing this one this year (doing R**** H*** as it is easier to get to from where I live!) but will be back next year, as will Hipps hopefully- I had a word with her about it the other day.
RB- Well done for getting that time in the heat. Good practice for Mabo anyway!
scam..........you need a rub down with the sporting life or something similar. that will make you sparkle!!!!!!!!!!!!
really good to see you are back out
dont forget to rub some ice on those legs
why the sporting life haggus??? im confused!
I'm considering doing this in September. What's the course and how flat is it as I can't find any details on the web site?
very flat
hopefully cooler than last year!
Back on here now after the exploits of London at the weekend.Like many others on sunday i suffered a wee bit thru the heat.Planned for a 4hr marathon and ended up getting round in 5hrs-thankfully ok.
Scamlamb-big,big game on friday night.
I have just sent off my entry form for this marathon yesterday after reading the excellent reviews from last years event.
Looking forward to it, just got to get the miles in now!
trust you boys!!!!!!!!!!
