Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I'd say they're all possibilities Becca, as they're all big cities without big marathons, and Great Run already have races in two of the four locations.

As my original post, I'd add Newcastle, Bristol, Manchester and Cardiff as other possibilities In all of which, except Cardiff, Great Run have existing races, and therefore have existing agreements in place with the local councils etc.

It looks like the second of the three Great Run British Marathon Series races will be announced today, and it will be the one in "the north of the country" ... the Stirling Scottish Marathon, 21 May 2017 grc.stg13.com

IMO Great Run appear to have been a little naughty in the scheduling of this race; by putting Great Manchester Run back a week they've arranged the new marathon the week before the likely Edinburgh Marathon date (just 30miles away!).

Got something to say?
