Not quite as much as Brighton's 568m in 2021. Any ideas yet as to why it happened?

Just a human error I guess, this was a new course

I think hands up to them for rectifying it with London for GFA.These things happen especially with a new course.

From Newport Marathon Facebook page:-
"Unfortunately, the AUKCM has concluded that there was an error with their course measurement, resulting in the Marathon being 276m too long, which equates to 0.171 miles."

WP - I think you've already got a decent amount of training done.

Do you have a specific training plan that you like to use?

A week on Sunday for me :-O Newport will be both a target in its own right and a stepping stone on the way to Dartmoor Discovery.

It is surprising how quick it comes around.
Good luck with training and Dartmoor.

Thanks, WP. You too :) Looking forward to this.

I still need to sort out accommodation. Haven't decided how long we'll stay in the area. I'll probably commit once I know for certain that my last shot at getting into London (club place) has gone.
