Entries open for this one on Mon 1st Feb.........and it fills up very quickly.
Toying with whether to enter or not??????
I will be running my first marathon in Brighton on 18th April........ and was sort of hoping to then run our club marathon.....Kent Coastal on 5th Sept. I ran the Half as my first race ever last year (after only running for 6 months) and it sort of feels fitting to come back and run the Full Mara a yr later.............. Besides it also counts for Club, Kent & Grand Prix Champs this year.
The problem is that there are then only 6 weeks between this marathon and Abingdon..........Is that too little time for someone with as little marathon/running experience as me????? What do more experienced runners think????
I had also thought of just doing Brighton before I decide whether I even want to do another Marathon! But if I do that I won't get a place in Abingdon.
Do I just enter and then if I decide not to do it later sell my place on to someone???.......the demand for this marathon always seems high.
Oh well, I can't enter on here anyway as I'm not a subscriber anymore. Looks like I'll have to do it the old fashioned way, unless it is online elsewhere.
Well, I'm a subscriber and I can't see any online entry procedure on the RW event page either.
It seems to me from looking at the Abingdon website that they intended entries to open in late January, but that they are now waiting to confirm that they have enough volunteers/marshals etc before starting to take anyone's money.
I'm not sure there's even any point completing the "universal entry form" available on this site until everything becomes clearer. And I am not saying that just because I don't want everyone else to get their entries in before I do!
Howfar??? This marathon said no ipods before, but people still wore them . It's one of my 'pet peeves' when people ignore the 'no ipod' instructions in races which have this restriction. Grrr!

Oh all theses decisions!!!!
The race site says they are short of marshall coordinators and that firm decision on 2010 awaits this. Does RW sub only link above say different?

I simply stated what it says at event site.
Although the race has been run successfully last 2 years, it stop a few years ago because of organisation difficulties.
its going ahead

HURRY UP RW!
I prefer on line entry, but at this rate i will have to resort to snail mail
makes no sense for organisers to state decision not yet taken on 2010 race at their own site while inviting entries from a particular running forum.
thinking of last year, at least it states no IPods up front this time....
Price has increased!!
But I've still entered
3 marathons in October and a rest in November is prescribed I think
Online entry now submitted via link here at RW site - woohoo!
