2012 Lakeland Trails Marathon
 | | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 20% | | Atmosphere | | 100% | | Organisation | | 100% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 80% |
In short: Looking for an easy marathon? Look elsewhere.
In full: Hats off to all the marshalls who stood for hours in the pouring rain this year. Its an extremely hilly marathon with the first half with more climb, however the second half has a much rougher and craggy terrain. Ideal for those looking for a challenge.

The time display was a bit low, it could of done with being put on a taller stand (you get how faultless this race is)

2011 Lakeland Trails Marathon
| | Overall score | | 100% | | Would you do it again? | | Yes | | | | Details: | | Scenery | | 100% | | PB potential | | 20% | | Atmosphere | | 80% | | Organisation | | 80% | | Value | | 80% | | Beginner-friendliness | | 20% |
In short: Relentless, Scenic, Beautiful. 2011 was a scorcher and i'm definetly doing it again
In full: If you want a challenge then this is the one for you! climbs and hills that are relentless, craggy rocks and terrain that is dangerous and exposed places that will burn you when it's scorching hot like it was this year. Completely different to a city marathon so dont expect a great marathon time, but do expect a challenge that you'll remember.

In short: Put a quick first mile in to make up for that hill. This is a PB course, I cant why everyone is making such a fuss 90% of it is flat as a pancake

positives -
good scenery, well marshalled, good spirits and support
bad points -
start line was ...well not a line, just a congregation around a post
really muddy in some places, spikes essential
