catch the tram from city centre to station street terminus, but you'll still have a 15-20 min walk..taxi may be better option..
i would agree taxi would be a better option normally, only difficulty is that the traffic can get a bit bad at the beginning of the event and you could end up paying for hanginig around in a queue. I would recommend the first option, get the tram and then walk the last 15 minutes - a good warm up!
Don't give up! I am not local either but maybe it wouldn't help anyway.
How about somewhere like 'around the New Balance stall' at around 9:30?
Good luck to all.
I will use the tram, the walk will
be nice keep the stress levels down a bit.
Good luck to all!
and as i said i'll be hanging about by the baggage tent at 9:40ish.
Good luck to you all for tomorrow.
I shall be with you every step of the way, well at least the halfers, I'm walking Bristol half tomorrow.
I'll be the women in the blue t-shirt trying to keep ahead of the sweeper van in the half and then finishing at the same time as the fast full marathoners.
GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY!!
Mr FE will be the non runner looking miserable, 'cos he can't run with his arm in a sling.
Good luck everybody. Hope I meet up with at least some of you.
Managed a 1.53 (by my timing). Not quite what I wanted but it was a PB by 3 minutes.
Suffered on the climb up to the QMC roundabout and ran out of steam at the end.
At least it wasn't hot like last year.
Sorry I couldn't hang around to cheer on all you full marathon runners - hope you enjoyed it
Well I thoroughly enjoyed that today. Quite a bit of people traffic but a great atmosphere. Managed 1:50 so two minutes quicker than I did the Sheffield half. Not bad at all really. Well done to everyone who took part - just getting round is an achievement.
Hello to the girl I saw last week in Chesterfield 10 mile. She looked surprised when I said hello today. Belongs to Lincoln running club I believe, anyway, hope you did ok - you were on for a good time when I saw you.
Organisation and marshalls were spot on, and crowd support was good (always enjoy running past the church goers singing their hymns on the roadside) and thankfully the conditions were good this year.Only grumble is that a number of miles were long followed by short miles - maybe I should leave my watch at home, then it wouldn't matter.
Predicted time 1.18ish
Actual time 1.18.52
Womens race looked to be of good quality this year, a group of six passed me at two miles and dissappeared into the distance.
Well done all, especially the marathoners.
Third dalmation home in 2 hrs 10. Struggled to cope with the sedate pace and frequent stops early on so two of us broke away from the 'pack' and ran the rest of the race in the same time as the first 6 (now that's what I call a negative split!!!)
Great support and a good day.
On another day certainly a pb course, hopefully someone out there did one?
ground to a halt at about 18.5 miles
that's me done for marathons now.
nothing over 10k from now on.
A very big well done to all those who finished.
mrs yorkshire running man faired better in the half marathon, knocking a wopping 12mins off her pb, finishing in 1.54:40
hope everyone had a good day, at least the rain kept off
