A Marathon’s Too Far? Try A Kilomathon
March 2010 sees the inauguration of a new race – the 26.2 km Kilomathon which will take place from Nottingham to Derby in the UK on Sunday 14th March, six weeks before the London Marathon.
Timed to be a perfect long run before the London Marathon and also designed as a stepping stone for those thinking about the full marathon distance of 26.2 miles this is a great way to add some zip to your training schedule and get together with folks just like yourself, have some fun and get a long run in – a win-win situation.
This 16.3 miles warm-up is limited to 8,500 runners and costs under £30 if you get your entry fee in on time.
The race begins just outside Nottingham University and follows the A6005 through Long Eaton and finishes near pride Park in Derby.
Kilomathons are scheduled for Scotland in October 2010 and in Northern Ireland and Wales in 2011.
