I just got the letter from the organisers about them having to move the start to Richmond Park due to the building works in docklands for the olympics.
Oh no!!
I looked on a map - richmond park is MILES away from greenwich park. This really screws up my plans!! Also the revised route from the enclosed map looks a lot hillier.
Surely they could have let us know a bit sooner?! Such a big change just 1 week out is criminal!!

Oh well, as long as they don't make the run any longer than 26 miles!!!

I've got the same letter!
Do you know if there is a good kebab shop near Richmond ? I always have a chicken kebab a few hours before my long run.
Am i the only one angry about this? It's very lare notice, surely?
The start locations are nowhere near the Olympic park and the finish, again, is even further away from the Docklands/Olympic area.
This is some turd with no life 'doing some mischief' - don't be taken in by this kind of C**P!! You should be enjoying your taper and looking forward to next Sunday
The organisers don't send out race numbers for London! The expo, from next Wednesday, is the only place you can pick up your race pack (which I'm sure you know) Go to the Virgin Marathon website and type in 'Finish Line'
The letter you have received is recyclable, I'd suggest you do just that
Actually there's a fertilser shortage expected this year too. Maybe squeezing one out in the middle of somebody's front lawn, should you need to, is the way forwards.
Enjoy that sunshine folks.

My garmin says its 26.6 miles does any know if they are accurate with their measurements or round it up to finish in the Mall ?
Candy - will be at Richmond next Sunday - if you say that's where to be then I'll be there!
Luv,
Mad Old C~nt
