Is there the opportunity to run one of the marathons with him? I couldn't find any mention of it on his website.

Basically turn up. He runs at the pace of the slowest. I think if you email through then someone will get back to you with a few more details. I guess we need to work out what the best approach is! I would say that if it is an officially organised marathon then you should enter that, but most are ad-hoc with routes sent in by local running clubs.

One thing he said on Sunday was that his Facebook page probably has a bit more interaction on it than the website. So you might get a quicker response via that.

You don't have to do full run though? When I did Swansea with him a number of people joined us along the way for various distances.

Plotting a route shouldn't be hard though a bit of local knowledge would be useful to avoid running along the busy roads. It's a Saturday so getting there should be ok.

That Leicester one almost runs right past my Mum's house! Shame I'll be away then, I'd have been up for that.

About This Thread
