[Albion] First Marathon in the UK around a Premiership Football Club - THE AMEX !!

[Steve Foster]

28th October 2018 Sussex Trail Events are staging the first marathon in the UK around a Premiership Football Club & it will be The Amex.

This will be for charity & all proceeds going to Albion in the Community.

There will be an epic unique medal & entries open next week.

Will be in excess of 52 laps in my estimation

This sounds like an ideal 1st Marathon for me to do

Sorry I must be missing the point. Won't it be boring running around in circles for 26 miles?

Running for 26 miles would be boring whether its in circles, squares or wiggly routes

16 miles of boredom and 10 miles of hallucinations!!

Pedant alert

Running around in rectangles.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Pedant alert it’s 26.2 miles (to 1 decimal point)

Whichever way round they run it, it will be a brutal gradient - certainly by the thirtieth lap!

Not for me, Clive.

 

[Stat Brother]

I'm just going to waterslide the route.

 

[The Andy Naylor Fan Club]

Will they allow water bottles in

Brutal...LOL. The one I did on Saturday had over 6,000ft of elevation. Amex one will be ‘playful undulations’ at worst. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

 

[el punal]

Will there be flask stations en route?

They could use a Palace fan as a 'Hare'? Could result in a world record time...

Yes but you’re a FREAK.

Remember these guys organised a marathon in a Worthing multi-storey car park.......5 levels......75 times.......

Why?

 

[dazzer6666]

Why?

Well duh. Because it was there.

Weirdos!

Seriously though, what would the rise in feet be from down by the club shop, to right up by the away gates? 80ft? More? Multiplied by 52 laps, and that sounds pretty tough to me (for NORMAL people..)

It might even more than that I reckon. We did one at the cycle track in Preston Park (yeah, I know.....[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]), over 72 laps even that had over 1000ft.
