Son of a Pronator Man Jan 2020 7:53am, 15 Jan 2020 8,747 posts	0 Son of a Pronator Man Most of the 15k course is hard packed trail or forest road made of broken stone. There is also some single track of grass worn into a path. There is one section in the 15k (I'm not sure of this is also part of the 5k), the so called "bog of doom" which is a 50 metre section of very wet sucky mud. There is one decent hill on the 15k course, about 4 miles in.

Dvorak Jan 2020 6:58pm, 16 Jan 2020 18,716 posts	0 Dvorak There is a race, and indeed a place, that I had never heard of. Too soon for me. One Fetchie, ever, is recorded as running it, in 2018. Listing added fetcheveryone.com/viewracedetails.php?id=3966922
jda Jan 2020 7:04pm, 16 Jan 2020 6,149 posts	0 jda I just saw something about Stirling marathon having a decent prize pot. thestirlingmarathon.co.uk Three cash prizes for each 10y vet category - I could almost turn up for a shot at that. But then again, the entry fee is almost as much as the prize, before I even factor in the travel.
Dvorak Jan 2020 7:31pm, 16 Jan 2020 18,717 posts	0 Dvorak It's a good course, and, despite Great Run being a bit half-arsed about things last year, still seemed a pretty decent event. I expect this year's to be better And Stirling is a splendid place to visit, and there is a new park to do. Although, "Run the most picturesque marathon in the world!" might just be stretching things a bit. And the HM prize pot looks a bit puny, especially when it attracted as many (or more?) runners as the full marathon.

Possible road trip for us That does look more like it from Stirling for an event they want to promote as a biggy. Well done them sticking neck out with fairly tasty prize pot.
Dvorak Jan 2020 8:53pm, 16 Jan 2020 18,718 posts	0 Dvorak Does it count as a road trip if it's a place you could feasibly run to ?* However, as long as I don't fall apart in the interim, I'm definitely interested in the half. *Not that I would run to it! That would be madness.
