Hilly maybe a strong word but it is quite undulating and testing. theres a 2 mile off road section too. However ive done it 3 or 4 times now and its a fab well organised race.
Hopefully the snow will go about 2 weeks time and it may be colder still. But thats Ok that Lincolnshire for you.This race is so easy until the fields of mud otherwise its pure speed?

but im looking forward to this one just need the snow to bugger off so i can get out training im not brave enough to run on it like some people ive seen
Overall it's one of my favourite races I ran so far. Really enjoyable, good atmosphere, and there's always someone up for a supportive chat along the way when the going gets tough!
Good race for anyone looking to do London, any spring marathon me thinks, yeah the off road section on the high dyke makes it a bit different ,personally i didnt find the hill at the end too bad not if you compare it to the one at the Grantham half at 10 miles! anyone whos done that one will no exactly what i mean!

At First we start on the field then on to the road through the Villange then 2 miles of mud(DRY)then all the way on the road towards home
I hope this will help you
I did it last year and the last hill about a mile out turned my legs to jelly.
Looking forward to it this year.
cheers matt

Haha sorry, at least you're prepared for it now!
