Marathon runners will complete the course 7 times, and Half Marathon runners 3 times. Those running in the Anti-Clockwise Marathon will, as expected, run the course in reverse.
If you are taking part in the marathon you may also take part in the 50k Ultra at no extra cost. You will be given a time for both the Marathon mark and the 50k finish at no extra cost.
