C'mon Red tomato sign up. If the running goes ok this year I'd maybe like to cycle it next. Easy to say that now:)

Just discovered this and it is very very tempting. Would love to try the 4 runs, it would certainly boost my 100 marathon tally.

Too good to pass up. Is anyone else thinking of the 4 marathons?

Lots of people, especially given the very generous cut off time :-)

Its not such a 'generous' cut off time when you consider the consecequence of running 26+miles for 4 days consecetivly ! also multi terrian takes a lot out of your legs ,its the recovery rate between days, ive seen some damn good people give up .The Medal takes some inner streanghs to get it.Also im 1 trying for the 1st time this year & i want it big time..

Best of luck to all V L Marathon weekend ,weather is going to be quite warm so start bit slower than planned,you'll last the distance better & keep well hydrated early on.
