GSI was the company they formed when the guy who previously ran it died so they could keep the marathon running. its always been the same guys though but it was one man in charge in the *old* days. most of folk i beleive are the same team

Look out for Aberdeen as an option then Marts. There is a Facebook page and a team are working on getting thus back off the ground. I was near peeing my pants last night looking at the professionalism of the Chester Marathon website in comparison and their 100% satisfaction money back gurantee. Imagine how broke GSI would be if the offered the same promise!!

While clearly it is for none of us hear to say Santababy but seriously if I was in your mans position I would be tempted to say Santababy"well GSI you know the rules, if full results are in our hands within the timescales you knew of before running event then we Scottish Athletics will be applying the full levels of sanctions available to us. Goodbye my office door is that way >>.
