Hi all,
You may already be aware, but there has been a recent announcement of a new marathon in Manchester on April 29th next year - the first for 10 years.
Although it's only just been announced, the organisers are saying that there has been a huge number of entries already, and they are expecting the 5000 places to fill up soon and entries may be closed in the next few weeks. So if, like me, you were waiting for the outcome of the London Marathon Ballot, it will almost certainly be too late by then. Unfortunately, Manchester aren't offering deferrals or transfers, but in the unlikely event of getting a place in London, that entry can at least be put back to 2013.
As Manchester is finally getting a Marathon back after all this time, it would be good to have a strong Prestwich AC presence, so don't delay and get those entries in!
The website for the marathon is:
