Good luck to all those doing the Brighton marathon today

[Lady Whistledown]

Holy shit I can't believe the day is finally here...a few more (long, painful) hours and I can finally have my life back.

All the best to everyone on NSC who's doing it, slap on plenty of suncream, and I may see some of you at the finish...I hope :nervous:

And thanks to everyone who's sponsored me, have raised over a grand for Help For Heroes, I'm overwhelmed with that

 

[Smythe]

Yes good luck to all.....looks like its gonna be a warm one!!! Just hope the leg holds out, i see the entries for next year open tomorow!!!!! I think ill wait till a bit later today to decide if this is my one and only marathon or not....once again good luck to all.

Good luck once again. I shall be watching my friend starting his 3 day walk of the 26 miles. He has MS and is raising funds fir that.

 

[Mendoza]

looks quite easy to finish if Im honest, whats the big deal?

Good luck to everyone doing it! I decided recently to do a 12km (about 7 and a half miles) run in Perth, and after training for the first time yesterday (3km run) I realised just how far it was! Have massive respect for all of you doing a 26 mile run... I'll have to build up to that I think

Good luck to Dick Knight's Mumm-who, surprisingly, won't be running it with a beer in his hand.

A bloke ran past us through the streets of Brighton about 10:30 last night with '4 Marathons in 24 Hours' on the back of his running shirt. I imagine he was running the route for the second or third time back-to-back and planning to set off again with everyone else for a fourth time this morning. Unbelievable.

Good luck to Kevin Risby who got over his £ 1000 target yesterday. Also good luck to Neil Kane and Mike Philpott both running for the REMF. Give them a big cheer. Respect to all who run today.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Same here. Best wishes and good luck to all. Dig in, it might hurt, but remember it will all be over soon and you'll have some amazing memories and pride to keep with you forever.

Dan Lawson from AITC init.

Yes, he had 'Dan' on the front. What's the story then?

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Just seen it on official site - amazing!

 

[Spun Cuppa]

Good Luck all

I constantly marvel at Gus's attention to detail

He even manipulated his team selections to ensure the results meant the promotion parties would be after our runners had completed the Brighton marathon...

Top work GP

Massive respect to all who did / are doing this today. The Mrs is on the finish with St. Johns so if anyone collapses after stopping you might be in excellent hands! I've run 10ks and a single half marathon and near killed me! Would take alot of training to do a full marathon but I'd love to do Brighton one year if get fit again. Off in a few mins to do my 5k swim for swimathon and Marie Curie but don't think hour and half in pool for a club swimmer is near what you are doing today. Massive respect and good job raising the money for charity.

Walked along the A259 from Southwick this morning. Saw a couple of guys wearing an Albion replica shirt. Runner no 3100 was one but didn't catch the other number.

What a glorious day it is too....

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I shouted out "you're gonna finish behind the seagulls" to a guy in a Saints top. Fair play to the chap as he turned round and gave me a classic old-skool two fingered salute.

 

[Richy_Seagull]

Did it last year in similar weather and those last 8 miles were horrific! Had to defer this year because of lack of time to train but planning on giving it another go next year!

 

[sam86]

Just got back from Shoreham.
Hands hurt, and neck is burnt, but all good fun.
Fair play to all those that took part!
My brother finished in 3:30.
Rather him than me!

As i mentioned earlier, my mate who has MS is doing this over 3/4 days...he has to use a walking frame thing but he is now getting towards 7 miles. Bloody brave effort and if he completes this in a few days time, the organisers are going to meet him with a finish line and a medal, really hoping he can do it.

Well done to all the people that have done it today for so many good causes
