I still think we should go for it, even if we end up walking most of the route at least we can say that we've done not only a marathon but a mountain marathon, we can just mumble a time.
I think it'd be good banter if a few of us got an NI wild team on the go and just stuck together on the way round. Nothing ventured nothing gained and all that! You'd prob get a t shirt or a medal or something stupid.

LOL, yeah don't think my time will be too hot espec as the greatest distance I've got to is 13 miles!

You get a MWM buff as far as I can tell, which I think is to serve as a medal as well, maybe. Its not overly clear from the website.

Again from reading the up and running belfast forum apparently there'll be ice pools for the finish line to "revive" your legs at the end, which might be handy if I'm to be in any state to drive to bangor and jump on the booze!!

Yeah thats what I was thinking, untill I looked at the entry fee. A mere £50! think I could spend it on something more useful.... JETBOIL!!

Yup its not overly cheap, £45 for the marathon/walk/waddle, the Belfast City Marathon was £35 I think, not that I got round to running/entering it.
