HI

The MK marathon is quite a new race but has any one ran it? Just wondering what it is actually like?

    I had to google that.......for a moment I thought they'd named a marathon after an economist (different first name)

    They have a marathon now! Great. When I was in England Milton Keynes was a fairly new community. They had the only McDonald's outside of London. My family forced me to drive two hours to get there one weekend. Must be a very large community now.

    I have few friends who've run it and really enjoyed it.

    Thanks for the replies guys, but like the impatient imp I am I didn't wait, just went ahead and booked it! 9 months to get back in shape...... I can do it......I hope.....

    Sign up! I did London in 2012 unfortunately hurt my leg at mile 8 so had a rubbish time, but it was a TIME not a DNF so now it's time to get me a decent time!
