I quite fancy this one for a few reasons:
1. It's run from Marathon to Athens, so has a little bit of history associated with it.
2. It's the Olympic course for 2004, so I can "be there first"
3. The weather in Greece at that time of year will be vastly different to the grey of the UK I can currently see.
Any thoughts? Long way to go I realise, but if there's plenty of interest, could be added to the list of "A race for all of us to meet at"

I'd love to do it - will have to see how FLM goes first.

It would probably be best to book a cheap flight with Easy jet and get a hotel from the GNTO (Greek tourist board) or just run a search on Athens hotels. Or if you like I've still got friends in Glyfada who could book rooms there.

Going to wait and see how FLM goes - my main target for the year is to get a 3:15 qualifying time. If I don't manage it at London, I'll do the flattest, fastest autumn marathon I can find. If by some miracle I do manage it, then I'll seriously think about doing Athens.
