Go fletch go !! ... zoooooooooooom ...

I'm entered; my first real race and I'm looking forward to it.

I might just finish before May 3 if I'm lucky...

My first too RichK .. and totally looking forward to it !! .. just can't wait :-)

Id love to enter but im a porker :/

so you dont have to keep up all you need to do is finish!! some people in the london marathon didnt finish till about 5 days later!!

I think i may go to watch! A few of us at work have started running once a week, its fun, even tho i'm not much good - breathless/feeling like i want to collapse etc! but it makes you so proud of yourself!

Does anyone run regualrly in the evening? If you don't mind going very slowly; walking a bit then running a bit, i could join you! I guess we all have to start somewhere! lol

It's just that the Sheffield Marathon doesn't receive the kind of support that the London Marathon does. Everything returns to normal 4-5pm and that includes Sweep Bus, St Johns and crowd encouragement all gone.

I think there's a sweep bus that is timed to reach the finish at 2:45, and you're supposed to stay ahead of that.

I don't know if you're forced to finish if the bus catches you.
