Oysterboy Dec 2014 1:04pm, 9 Dec 2014 10,215 posts	0 Oysterboy I've just seen this. bristolbathmarathon.com I've never done a full marathon before and with it being right on my doorstep it's pretty tempting to make this my first!

Oysterboy Dec 2014 5:06pm, 9 Dec 2014 10,216 posts	0 Oysterboy I'll be interested to see the full route details. I suspect there will be a few hefty hills!

Oysterboy Dec 2014 5:28pm, 9 Dec 2014 10,217 posts	0 Oysterboy There is the Bristol Bath Cycle path which would be ok in theory but it's only 14 miles to get to Bath that way. Maybe part of it will be along there.

Lazydaisy Dec 2014 6:00pm, 9 Dec 2014 9,374 posts	0 Lazydaisy It's organised by the same people who have done the Cheltenham Half for the last two years. That event was really well-organised, so hopefully this will be too. It's the same day as Stroud Half and the Gt South Run.
