RunningBob Jun 2016 8:14am, 24 Jun 2016 4,154 posts	0 RunningBob Strange that they haven't included London ... Damo presumably this is a home international so there'll be other teams?
hillck Jun 2016 8:18am, 24 Jun 2016 153 posts	0 hillck Thread meet at Chester? We get "elite" entry and everything....

James74 Jun 2016 9:04am, 24 Jun 2016 1,774 posts	0 James74 Course wise Bournemouth,Chester or Yorkshire waiting list?
RunningBob Jun 2016 9:39am, 24 Jun 2016 4,156 posts	0 RunningBob Presumably these are all quite different courses - masters rankings are so close it would all come down to choosing right course in the right weather. I'd like to go to Bournemouth - hear there's some fast boys down there
Windsor Wool Jun 2016 10:41am, 24 Jun 2016 2,598 posts	0 Windsor Wool James - I have run Yorks and Bournemouth. Even a Lancastrian like me would have to admit that you should go to Yorks if you're looking for a time.

milemonster Jun 2016 1:17pm, 25 Jun 2016 173 posts	0 milemonster I'll be at Chester Marathon again this year. I know the course very well if anyone hasn't done it before and has any questions. Basically it's a bit bumpy the first few miles then flat until 16miles and then gentle hills until 23.5 and there's a big hill. Then down to the end. Probably about a minute added on for an equivalent flat one; I think, what do others think who have done it before?
