Hi all
Is anyone taking part in the Manchester Marathon on 13 Oct? Just saw it on this site, but despite being in Manchester myself, I've never heard anything about it. I'm a beginner but would love to set myself the challenge of doing a marathon on home turf!
Anyone taking part?

If you do do it, good luck and let us know how it went.
It is harder to get in shape as you get older ain't it!!!
In a moment of reduced sanity, I have said I would do this for charity. If you enter as well, that will be 2 of us at least
hoping for 3.40....maybe see yous there..
i was originally a manc, but now have the misfortune to live in cambridge...
I am hoping to survive the course, let alone set a time.
hope to see you all there. will bring my sponsor forms along. get your wallets out. (lol)
I know it starts at Heaton Park, and ends in Wythenshawe Park. All I know is that whichever rout it takes from Heaton Park it is going to be uphill within the first mile
The race pack will be sent from 16/9/02. It says that if it is not received by 24/9/02 to telephone 0161 226 9127 or fax 0161 226 9440.
Your time of 3 hours something sounds impressive. I am looking to survive the course
(I just know I'm going to regret this big time on Monday morning).
Still, I'll get to revisit some of the old neighbourhood.
I am getting sick of pasta. can't wait to have a few weeks off after the run to wind down a bit.
Voyager, are you from these parts, then
Also currently working in Estonia during the week, so have been running through snow this week (it's just arrived). Food is somewhat limited in range here (I'm near the Russian border), so don't complain about pasta - you never see it here, except in the capital.
So, should be an interesting experience.....
take care

I went for my final training run on Thursday. Did a very hilly 7 miler. Felt fine.
Hope you feel better on Sunday Fluffa. There are lots of people looking out for you
