The Nearly But Not Quite London Marathon - South

This event is going to be fantastic with two events at the same time in Surrey and in Durham. This is the entry for Team South so let the North v South competition begin! The organisers will compare the results for the day and see whether the North or South overall wins.

If you are running the Virtual London Marathon, we can record your London Marathon bib number in our results. You just need to let us know your number before the start date.

This is a 7hr Time Challenge event which allows you full control over the distance you want to run. The minimum distance is 5km, which is part of a lap. A full lap is 4.37 miles (7km) and you can run as many or as few of these laps as you wish in the 7hr time limit which starts from the official event start time. It is 3 laps for a half marathon, 6 for a marathon and 7 or over for an ultra, there is also a 50km distance available.

The course along a beautiful stretch of the River Thames. It is fully signed so no navigational experience is required. The course is a mixture with approximately 60% of it on a well-made path / tarmac. The remainder is grass and light trail which can get muddy at certain times of the year. Road shoes can be used all year round but if you prefer the extra grip on the trail sections then trail shoes can be worn.
