Sorry your race has been cancelled Big G.

Once travel opens up a bit more I really fancy doing some warm weather marathons. :-) G

Happy G, I wasn’t down to do it this year, but just thought I’d post here rather than starting a new thread :) I’m doing Seville this weekend though, all being well.

Did Malta didn't think it was that great. A bit like running through a giant building site, the last mile was quite nice.

Yeah, like some of those fast courses in the USA! This is valid for GFA etc, or at least it was when I checked it with the London organisers 3 or 4 years ago
