Are you up for keeping a blog on the site about your training, races and the things you learn along the way? It sounds like quite a nice challenge.

You should be able to do this. For the first two focus on getting round with as little damage to your legs as possible and get some good nutrition for recovery. Enjoy the day, particularly that breweries one, and don't focus on how long it is taking. That should put you in a good position to have a nice final race.

In 2017, I ran Sussex, Brighton and London in successive Sundays (15 days). I wouldn't call myself a particularly good runner either but got around well enough albeit with a bit of walking. I took each Monday off and pre-booked myself in for a sports massage which helped a lot.
Certainly doable but try not to overdo things between the marathons except for maybe a bit of walking. I'll wish you all the best!

Actually, it was 2013. By 2017. Sussex had been moved to much later in the year!

Good luck. Sounds like a great challenge and a worthwhile one to do.
Focus on recovery, eat well, rest and do some gentle training in between each event.

from reading about those who have done 10 in 10 (now that is proper stupid!!)
recovery is key both in terms of nutrition and body
during training and the 15 days
think about sports massage or other ways of speeding recovery (I'm not going to suggest ice baths 'cos they are stupid too! haha)
but yes managing yourself and expectations
good luck and do blog about it all

Are they all decent sized fields?
I think these days I need a bigger field to motivate me, running long periods on yer lonesome is soul destroying.

The Great Breweries Marathon has a lot a bucket list runners for whom a fast time is not high on their priority list. So you will have lots of company in the 4:30-5:00 range.
Apparently the scenery is not too bad and every runners gets a free beer basket at the finish.
It features on the "100 most beautiful runs in the world" list.
Last year there were about 600 finishers.
A friend of mine is going to run it this year and I will be there too to run the 25. An odd distance so more of a long training run for me.
