Brighton is a great alternative if you can't get in London - although that's becoming hard to get into in itself now! I haven't done it myself but it's becoming big.
Another alternative is the other side of the channel - the Paris Marathon, it's normally a week before London but it's recommended by myself!!
yes cheers bri for the great photos. and thanks in advance for the coming running season too!
congrats muzza on your win, that was a fantastic time on a tough and challenging course. you had a strong finish and still had a spring in your stride.
and forbes.... you shud knock a few minutes off your time at bham. pace yourself well and push on that hill at the end
