I wish I hadn't seen that FenlandRunner. Does that mean I can't call my PB at the 2015 Manchester Marathon my Marathon PB anymore?

"it was agreed that AUKCM carry out a verification measurement of the course as run in 2015 in conjunction with the measurement of the course proposed for 2016. This measurement was done in October 2015 and showed that the course run in 2015 was 380m short."

why did no one tell us?

Fair play to them (course measurement association) for fessing up. I doubt the marathon will be making much noise about, given the heavy fire they've been taking for different reasons this year.

I needed a lot more than 380m Dill :-)

Pleased that this years was OK though, and it does explain a few things like the start not being moved even though the finish was
