Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Shall we call it nearly Marathon of the year.

All those 100 clubbers and pbs scrub your records

To be fair Austria Ironman the other year did a 24 mile 'marathon' at the end I believe it happens in Tris My one was debatable but I didn't measure it properly as I had watch problems as I was f&*(ed coming off the bike.

It's still there Lark, I guess you can't look it up as a marathon anymore though!! Perhaps easiest way is to look for someone you know ran it, say a Wool who ran it as Datchet in 2013.

I thought you are "allowed" a certain percentage over or under when measuring race courses? Probably wrong but I did hear it somewhere in the distance past.

Cheers, yes - I was searching for "marathon" with "manchester" in the title. Switch "marathon" for "any" and it appears. They've obviously added it to a category of "not a marathon"!

Ultracat - the official way to measure adds 0.1% to any race distance so that if they are 0.1% wrong it is still at least long enough. So thats 1m for every 1000m, or 42m in the case of a marathon. But that is always "over", never "under".

According to my training log entry for Manchester 2015 I ran 26.25 miles, so I will count it towards my marathon total
