Lancaster Castle Marathon

Not at all flat I'm afraid; they posted the course profile on the facebook page today and it's pretty shocking if you're looking for a fast course lol.

not bothered bout fast it my first marathon so wanna start with flatish course first cn you recomend any dhale750

Preston guild 28th October

I was hoping this wasn't going to be as hilly as Windermere, but the course profile is a little bit more intense. No PB for me I guess, that hill at mile 18 looks woeful.

Ultra Dunc, the aplication form can be found at:

It  does say postal entries close 24/05/12, however there is a name and number you could ring for more info:

W. Gardner, 58 Sibsey Street, Lancaster, LA1 5DF. Telephone: 01524 60537.

If you don't mind hills try: Lakeland trails marathon at Coniston 1st July or Great trail challenge at Keswick next Sunday.

Has the course been measured yet?

I thought it was a good one. Scenic route, though quite tough.

Done a few of Billy's races & he always looks after the slower runners just as much as the fast ones....

Marathon number 22 for me. 

Is this on again this year?same weekend you think?cant see listed, thanks

Entries also being taken by fyldecoastrunning.org  (no additional card fee payable)

I would def do this one again, but it clashes with a big 2 day ultra. Always a pleasure to do a race organised by Billy & Mark.  Hope to see you at Lancaster half again.

Forgive my shameless plugging of my brand new charity page. Did a year of 20 marathons & 7 ultras for a soldier's charity, & now excited about running for a children's hospice. Completely loving having discovered ultras....Some amazing people! If you can do the hilly Lancaster marathon, you can do an ultra! Never dreamed I would win a race, but won an ultra 70 miler in July....Need to win it again, as that really boosted the sponsorship money.  

Planning 40 marathons & ultras in 2013, for Francis House Children's Hospice, Manchester.

Thankyou gunnerdarunner! 

Nearly ended up entering after all, after the ultra that clashed with this got moved from this date.....Only for ANOTHER ultra cancelled because of snow to move to this date!

I am destined not to be here this year.....There is always next year!
