The Lewes Marathon

[ladyrunner]

Wow this looks interesting as well as an extremely hard run .

It sounds like it is going to be an unofficial race but I still think that you need to choose carefully the weekend of the race to optimise acceptance of the invitations.

The large percentage of the local runners that would probably consider doing this run are probably going to be entered for either Brighton or London Marathon, therefore if you make the Lewes Marathon too close to these marathons they would be unlikely to run the Lewes Marathon.

In the first year that I did London Marathon (1992) we ran the Chanctonbury Marathon (hilly and off road) as a training run which was in late February.

The Sussex Races website is the most up to date list of races.

Anyway keep us posted as it could be just the right event to get some of us motivated and start getting out for some regular training.
