Is that thing called `The Wash` nearby merely a literary device - it never washes out the marathon course, for example? Looks a great event otherwise that I can see. I like the symmetry with same day as US Boston Marathon as well.
colindglen Dec 2016 7:34pm, 23 Dec 2016 282 posts	0 colindglen First one last year. Was dry but a bit cold as very flat and open course. Little protectoon. Had rained before the event and the course was a bit muddy but it was generally cleared before the start.
〽️ Dec 2016 7:40pm, 23 Dec 2016 2 posts	0 〽️ Hi, this will be my first marathon. I signed up once I knew I would not get a place in London. My main reason for wanting to run this is to confuse Americans, also I was told it was quite flat.
glucotab Dec 2016 2:02pm, 24 Dec 2016 77 posts	0 glucotab Col- Useful info re: mud clearance factored in. If no wind, then could be pretty quick by the sounds. Tache - There is that. I`ve always wanted to do the Boston Marathon basically. If only the UK version would offer a downhill course option as well.

I wasn't really planning on doing this one this year, maybe the half, not the full but my mum volunteers at a local Hospice and they were looking for a couple of peepholes to do it for them and it looks like my dear mother has volunteered me Not sure how this is going to affect my Marathon du Mont Saint Michel at the end of May which I have just won an entry for!!!
