I did that in 2008 & 2010 - 2010 was Ogee's 100th a few of us went out NaomiP among others.

Flat course - was 4 laps up & down a river bank when I did it - no medals - that may have changed ?

You don't see much of Zurich as it's pitch black of course.

Was fun to temporarily be the fastest marathon runner in the Commonwealth for 2008, a title taken by Ogee in 2010.

Booked 4 nights in Rome (in a 7bed apartment) around April 2nd. I've since read a few blogs and watched a movie and I'm all teared up.

Who's in?

I'm in Romania the following weekend.

That's where the similarity ends. I don't normally run southern Europe. Could be interesting!
