Raptors claws are coming to town
"Nearly full! Less than 400 places left!" makes it sound like a huge event :-O

I've had a look at the route map. It's a good one for supporters to be at multiple places.

Party at ours afterwards :)

Good news with accommodation sorted out.especially with the race filling up fast.

Sounds a good plan to drive up.

I have written the first six weeks training plan🙂

(Actually, the listing says "no parties", so call that tea and biscuits at ours afterwards.)

I don't know what the race entry limit is but they expect (and I think will get) more entries than last year.

Over the 3 distances they had about 6,000 finishers, I think.

Nice. Not congested but not lonely.

There were less runners when I ran it in 2023 as they've since added the half. I don't know if the half runners start at the same time as they marathon runners.

Nicely spread out when I ran it, not enough to get in your way but plenty company if you wanted it.

The half and full marathon runners start at same time. There was no point it was congested. Mind you when the marathon runners left us it was pretty quiet.

WP - that's good to hear that there was no congestion this year. Should be the same next year. I think the half starts later ?

Ooh, I’m a bit tempted by this, but currently in the process of deciding whether the Woldsman is a possibility for the week before! Decisions, decisions.
