Race Distance: Marathon
This was one of the Phoenix Running events - a well-organised marathon and half marathon, running up and down a stretch of the towpath from Walton on Thames towards Hampton either 4 or 2 times. This does not make for the most exciting day out but if you're looking for a flat race with a small field (only 100 in the marathon), perhaps with a target time in mind, then it's a good choice. The finish was a bit haphazard and I'll blame that for being 2 seconds the wrong side of my target!
