Nelly Jun 2017 9:10am, 14 Jun 2017 3,781 posts	0 Nelly The weekend of 7th/8th April is going to be a busy sporting weekend in Manchester... it's just been announced that the City Vs Man Utd derby game on the Saturday. If you haven't booked a hotel room already then I imagine availability will currently be reducing by the minute!
jdarun Jun 2017 10:36am, 14 Jun 2017 1,616 posts	0 jdarun Thanks for the heads-up, I'm probably going to try driving this time as it's just about in range and I have to head straight to the (an) airport afterwards for a trip. Is the marathon parking multi-storey or open? I have a van which while not huge can struggle with the former.
Nelly Jun 2017 11:01am, 14 Jun 2017 3,782 posts	0 Nelly Official parking is open jda... although in previous years I've always recommended using one of the Metrolink park'n'ride stations due to the difficulty of getting to/from the official car parks (although I must admit I'm not sure if any of these have height restrictions).

Nelly Jun 2017 11:53am, 26 Jun 2017 3,786 posts	0 Nelly So the price for those on the Pre-Registration list is the same as for those of us who paid prior to the race date being announced?!? Whilst they billed the pre-race date announcement price as ""We can guarantee that this price will be the lowest price available for the marathon"", which obviously remains true given it's the same price, it is nonetheless still slightly disappointing.

davelord Jun 2017 1:59pm, 26 Jun 2017 422 posts	0 davelord Has anyone had an email with a link ? I registered interest but have had no update and I just see general entries open on July 4th when i look on webpage
K5 Gus Jun 2017 2:14pm, 26 Jun 2017 2,201 posts	0 K5 Gus Davelord - yes, I registered interest and got an email this morning with a link. Not sure if the link is specific to the details I gave when registering, or if anyone could use it, you're welcome to try riderhq.com Just checked the link, and the cheapest option available is £50, not £45. Email says only 500 entries at the £45 price, so they must all be gone . Plus in tiny wording on the webpage ( no mention in the email ) there is a 5% booking fee.
K5 Gus Jun 2017 2:39pm, 26 Jun 2017 2,202 posts	0 K5 Gus Just received another email to say the £45 entries have sold out
