The south is much flatter than North Manchester, Bury etc, at least until you get down to the Mersey valley (mostly in Stockport, rather than Manchester proper).

Huh? Got to be honest, I'm not seeing any negativity. If you're referring to me, I was describing the course relative to Bury (which somebody asked about).

Why get behind it (this race in particular)?

It's not a community / charity event, it's just a business venture.

whether its a business venture or not, its no good peeps moaning about the lack of marathons / races and then when one comes along it - its to expensive, its to far, the course is rubbish, the goody bag is rubbish, its not as good as Wilmslow half (;-)) etc etc

I totally agree Jono *goes off to find out how to do the smilie with the big thumbs up*.
Especially since the route goes within 100m of my front door.

Any idea what time you'll be asked to pace Paul?
(I assume you're talking about yourself as a pacer)
