Not one I think we'll ever do but once again you tell a great story of the run, its context , your day and the people around you. We love the historical snippets you put in.

Epic footage of this iconic race, Stephen. Excellent commitment for doing it 10 (no, 9!) times too. This has definitely inspired me to take it on one day, thanks! 🙏

I did this in 2013, and have entered a few times since but its never happened for one reason or another, I have to say Im very tempted having watched this to enter for 2024...but im going give York marathon a really good craic the week before so I best not be too greedy for 2024. All the best, HNY!

Love it 😀

Great run. I did the half the next day when the weather was much better! Sorta tempted by the full but that last bit over the Seven Sisters nearly finished me off in the half let alone the full distance!!

Oh yes we went back to watch a friend run the half. It was a totally different day. I think if you're tempted by the full, that means you should go for it!

Beachy Head was my very first marathon in 2018 and I found it utterly horrendous!!! I am surprised it never put me off running ever again haha

Thanks Sebastian. Yes, if I had thought about it I should have just stopped and waited , but I got in the groove down the hill and couldn't see you when I looked back. I'm sure we will run together again soon.

I walked a lot of this route some years ago and had the same weather on the first 2 days. The second day, I was actually walking in the clouds. It looks like a great marathon, will see if I can add it somehow to my list.

My 4th time and by far the most challenging, the weather in parts was awful. My wife told me she see you and she was the one in the purple coat just before the finish line, she was more happy seeing you than me😂😂 i did it in 4hr 55 which on that day ill take. I didnt see you on the day unfortunately, would of been nice to say hello. Great video and nice memory of the day, roll on next year. 👌

A cross country marathon? Looks kinda fun. What shoes did you run in?

I've been waiting for this one to come out to see if I made the cut and I did (and dear lord I did! 16:45 what do I look like?! to be fair to me tho, it was wet and windy so the change robe was a great idea). Really great video and perfectly sums up the day I'd say! :)

Istria 70k, transvulcania ultra, blue trail 70k and then probably a little down time before beachy head. Jump into the unknown for me with these distances but very excited. Not got a clue if I will be able to get around them in a good time but I'm hoping to at least survive 😂

Looks like was a "nice" day for it. I remember trying for the Strava CR up that first climb at the start and nearly passing out with lactic so yeah can see why best to take it easy up there. Shame we can't include it on Power of 10 and runbritainrankings I had a quick look and seems to be organised by the local council which is certainly unusual. Maybe they aren't aware of us? I had a check back and yeah seems never has been licensed as we haven't included anything since 2009 when licensing wasn't really a thing.

@FilmMyRun We've got a fair few parkruns that would definitely get your approval if you haven't already done them, Mallards Pike, Wyre Forest and Severn Valley Country Park are fun. Racewise they're all much of a muchness - but one local fun one I did last year was the Suckley Quarter marathon - just over 10k of 50/50 Road and trail. Horrific hills, but that's part of the attraction. I'm sure I'll see you one day soon at a start line!
