Hi All
Anyone going up to see the marathon(s)? I know there will be loads of people up in Town, but I am really tempted to travel up just to see & experience something (we missed out on tickets unfortunately, and I don't think my 52 minute 10k time qualifies me to take part in an event.....).
Didn't know if anyone had any advice on best points to head for - I've had a look at the route map.
Thanks,
Smitch

when is it on, i've got friends in london i can stay with but no idea when it is on
I think a couple of people have already asked this... I know that marathontalk are getting a group together to watch it
lol, still dont know when it is, its not this weekend is it?
Here we are - this is for the women's olympic marathon
Website: http://www.marathontalk.com/
Date: Sunday August 5th
Time: Race starts at 1100. Get there early!
Where? Corner of Friday Street and Queen Victoria Street (there's a pub)
ah thanks
Thanks all
will be watching on TV
Crikey, it's SMitch! Long time no see
Going Up?
On my map London is definitely not up!
It was a perfect base for watching the women's marathon. It is less than a min walk from seeing runners head down Cheapside and then return past Mansion House 15 mins later; time for a quick pint and then repeat * 4 and then head back to pub to watch the finish
mens race is this coming Sunday 12th
I'm going, not sure the best spot though
