Completed my first Marathon this May ( Halstead) and would love to have a go at running beyond the 26 miles. The Tring to Town race would fit in well in terms of location and date of race but I was wondering how people get back to their cars etc if they are only running the one day, Can anyone help shed some light on this for me? I may be running on my own so won't have someone to follow on with car. Do people recommend trail shoes for this route or can you get by with road shoes? Cheers Sara

and shoes will depend on the weather, all tow path and some parts are hard surface and some arent!
why not do both Saturday and Sunday races, then you won't have a problem! Smiley Lady did that this year, finishing well under 6 hours on each day!
I wore ordinary road shoes, they worked fine.
Definately ordianry shoes but good socks.
On both days this year, there were plenty of people coming and going, you should be able to arrange a lift or at least a shuttle bunny to the nearest public transport.
I thought there were about 3 versions of this race now.
Which one are you doing Sara ??
Just wondering if this route is marked? or do you rely on the map for the whole way? Is the course easy to follow? I'm entered to do the town to tring on the Saturday, first time doing it and am not familiar with the area at all.
HI People
I was planning to do T2T2T end of january but I left it for to late to enter and now it is full ... does anyone have a number and are not planning to use it? I would be glad to purchase it!
Let me know!!

Usual crowd again I see!
is anyone driving from Tring down to the start early Saturday morning? And if so, can they squeze a couple more into the car? Happy to contribute to fuel etc.
Ed - that too - and I was really cheesed off with them changing the time with not even 24hrs to go to the start of the race. I only found that out when I got there the next morning.
If you think thats expensive you will be shocked at the entrace fee for a half marathon thats on in Connemara in Ireland at the end of March - €70 entry fee - which equates to about 62 pounds. I aint doing it but just saying there are more expensive ones out there.
clearly anyone on this thread should be doing the ultra at conne !
not done it no idea how much is costs but it is at least established with a good reputation.
did connemara a few years back and didnt really enjoy it - its 70 euro to enter any of the races.
