5 Marathons in 5 Days, go on you know you want to!!!!! People have always dreamed of trying a marathon some day, whether it being as a personnel achievement or to raise money for a worthy cause. Others have taken it a step further by doing 2 in 2 days. Well in July people will have the option of running 5 complete marathons in 5 days, have your interest now!!
Starting on Wednesday 6th July 2011 and finishing on Sunday 10th July 2011, these marathons will be run over various courses which will consist of either a number of loops or an in/out run, all marathons being officially measured and certed.
Where is all this happening you may ask.
Well on Wednesday 6th July at 6pm it all begins in Sixmilebridge, Co. Clare with the first of 5, and continues on Thursday 7th July and Friday 8th July at the same time and place. Saturday 9th July moves to Quin , Co Clare with a 12 o clock start and then finish up on Sunday 10th July with a return to Sixmilebridge and a 10 o clock start.
Run as many as you would like.
Few points to note:
These are low key marathons and are ideal for people who like to run the marathon distance and are experienced runners who do not need assistance on the course.
While some refreshments may be provided on the day these races are to be regarded as self sufficient.
People expecting a big event should take note that this is an informal but official gathering of like minded distance runners . In a bid to keep the price as low as possible there will be no finish gantry, tee shirts, mile markers or the usual big race facilities but there will be a medal on completeion of each marathon.
