From a couple of comments from the organisers on their Facebook page, it appears they're hoping to go back to the usual location next year. This was mainly off road, with only a small amount of tarmac, whereas I think usually it is about 50/50 isn't it? This year and last it was in the grounds of St Giles Estate (a really stunning location for a race/HQ), which although I suppose technically it wasn't in the heart of the New Forest as the usual race is, it was still good event.
chunkywizard Sep 2021 11:39am, 28 Sep 2021 12,667 posts	0 chunkywizard I can't comprehend the amount of marathons some of you do! I've be doing my 4th at London on Sunday. Actually it's 7th if you count 50Ks and virtual, 11th if you count 24hr events - oh I have done more than I thought! Anyway, keep running people and good luck to all of you running in October. The list I have is below, any more? 3/10 London Marathon - chunkywizard, Rog T, Sailor Steve, DocM 3/10 Chester Metric Marathon - V'rap 24/10 Newport Marathon - Oscar, SailorSteve, Big_G 30/10 Cockbain Track100 - jimmyx, jelly

SailorSteve Sep 2021 12:18pm, 28 Sep 2021 2,074 posts	0 SailorSteve Ridiculous mileage Jelly, bravo. I envy your constitution that makes it even possible. Great work with the pb’s Big_G, they generally seem few and far between at the moment. I’m on course for c2200, so similar mileage to last year. I’ve just about made it to the London start line (touches wood) in as decent nick as I can imagine. Maybe a bit lethargic and 3-4lbs overweight but as good as it’s been for over a year. This will be my first “non-niggled” marathon since pericarditis so I’ll be interested (understatement) to see how it turns out. Best wishes to all, particularly those with events coming up this month.
