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

[Me and my Monkey]

Will Dicks Bar be open? Regular fluid intake is very important when running a marathon.

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

Palace do it most weekends !

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

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

Vince Hare-laire?

 

[Official Old Man]

Clock wise or anti clock wise (up the ramp or down)?
I'd go around the back and wait for an hour or so.
Oh, and don't forget, there are no external toilets and if you enter the ground you cant leave.

Will they allow water bottles in

Only if bought from the club shop!

Well duh. Because it was there.

It's only there once, surely they got the picture without having to do it 74 more times.

Good idea, but you just know they will RUN out of Harveys........

Though would be great to have a race that finishes in the Amex, like Reading Half Marathon finishes in the Madeski

 

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

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

I watched this. It looked beyond bonkers. Carpark is now demolished so never again will it be run.

 

[Gary Leeds]

I might do that and leave on the 45th lap to get the train home

 

[Triggaaar]

Just to help me not make a terrible mistake, I need to promise myself that I will never run a marathon.

How does anyone keep track of which lap they are on if there are 52 of them? I struggle with park run on occasion and there are only 2 laps of Preston Park!

Will almost certainly be chip-timed - small chip attached to your shoe, and you pass over a mat each time you go past that contains sensors that pick up the chip - each pass is then registered on timing software. Usually a bloke in van with laptop checking and shouting your lap number at you (if you want it - not much help 5 laps into a 60 lap race to be honest )

I've already plotted a trail route of 26 miles (approx) that starts and finishes at the Amex..........I might organise it informally one day (or get the Sussex Trail Events lot to do it). It's very....hilly.

I did the Golstone Marathon around the Northstand being chased by Spurs supporters. Broke my personal best.

They posted this on their Facebook page, I saw it immediately and thought it was a wonderful idea as a double with Beachy Head the day before!

Def not, they’ve been in discussion with the club for weeks. Their website admin is always a bit slow.
