Is there anywhere I kind find old marathon results,I ran in the first 3 Manchester and Stockport marathons in the early eighties but can't remember my times(Didn't get the medals engraved)
Just started running again after 20 odd years and just wanted to compare times.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.

If you e-mail me I may be able to help. Neil Shuttleworth has written a book (with Ron Hill) called Manchester Marathons, which included Stockport maras. Whilst it does not have full results I probably have Neil's address, or that of a guy called Hamish Thomson who is both a Stockport Harrier and a contributor to the book.

Incidentally, I doubt if you ran the frst three Manchester marathons: the first was in 1908! In the "modern" era there was the maxol series in the early 70s, followed by the 80s revival, with the 1981 to 1985 series, often known as the Picadilly marathon.

Standards were high: Steve kenyon ran 2:11, and 2:40 did not always guarantee a place in the top 100.

The Stockport(or Daffodil) Marathon was a much tougher proposition, both because of the course, and early April weather.

If you're still logging on here and still running and are still after the results (unlikely after 7 years) I think i have the Stockport 1983 results somewhere, which I ran when I was 17.
