Are you tempted then?
I was just looking at that one today - looks interesting!
Will look at the LDWA site now too!
LDWA event on a date I cannot make, but keen on the marathon though! Will see what the wife says!
Might look for something closer to home though..
Actually, one of the reasons that we believe that this marathon will be such a success is because the area is so beautiful so it will offer supporters so much more than other marathons.
We are actually planning to put together a separate supporters pack with details of some lovely walks that will encompass some of the route so that everyone is happy!

when i have been down I have stayed at Swanage Haven and go running up the cliff top walks staying at Grace Gardens this year as haven owners are away

Is there still places available, as would like to do it but wouldnt let me enter online.
I am interested in doing this next year so will look forward to reviews, my marathon calendar is a bit full for this year!!!
Rose c Im marshalling this year any news about riefing etc?
I hope that someone can review this race, as I'm considering entering in 2013. I have no problem with the steep uphills but am less comfortable on very steep downhills: just how steep are they?
To be honest the downhills are pretty steep! Steve has included his garmin stats so you can see on there
Hope this helps

Alan D, there's only one serious downhill at 20 miles (ish), but that has steps cut into it. The rest are very runnable. Now the uphills on the other hand, the elevation profile on the race's site tell the whole story
There are plenty of ratings for the race now, check them out.
Thanks - and I see there is also another thread on http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/forum/events/the-purbeck-marathon/211673.html
Amazed that Steve Way managed to run the course in under 3 hours !
I come from Poole originally so know the area fairly well, and love it. pmo no problem for your wife, it is a great area to take a break. Have biked and walked quite a bit of it but not run it apart from as a kid. Will be on my list for next year
