Thats the 2nd new 'Great Run' in Scotland (Stirling Marathon being the other) and finally taking the events out of Glasgow & Edinburgh

 

Both routes go past Pittodrie too. Just watch BT and co try and arrange a sunday TV match for the same day

The fees are indeed very high to compete in a race.

Wonder if Brendan Foster is involved taking a huge pot from the fees. As he does with the London marathon .

Your entrance fee for the London marathon doesn't go to charity ..^^^^^^^.

 

 

But its still great for the city to host a half marathon I expect huge numbers of entrants for both races..

Its been a long time since we hosted one.

I do know it costs money to close roads and to police events like this.

I'm intrigued as to how the route loops around Pittodrie without going onto King Street.

Does this perhaps mean running along the South Stand concourse then through the Car Park?

I never thought for one minute the entry fee for London goes to charity but I didn't know Brendan Foster was involved in that one - I thought he was just behind the "Great" runs.

 

It's an expensive race but I've entered the half. We need a decent big half marathon in Aberdeen.

Just joined Metro couple of days ago I know all the old timers as buc was indeed a member from day one.

 

I didn't vote for Peter to be chairman but I told him nothing personal as change is good that's why I voted for Rob Taylor.

 

Peter and Jackie are lovely lovely lads .

I'm a member too. They're all great blokes.

Aye but you'd be one of the young ones.

 

If you were at the meeting I was the one who got asked to do the draw for the 3 London marathon places Phil Cowie is my running mate.
