Date: Sunday, 22nd April
Event: Tresco CF Trust Marathon
Location: Tresco, Isle of Scilly
Course Type: Seven and a half laps run in a figure of eight around the small island. The harsh inclines en-route are said to be a gruelling test of stamina - sounds like fun!
Special Features : The marathon is run at exactly the same time as the London marathon and is billed as the world's smallest marathon.
Of Interest : This race is organised for the CF Trust and all entrants are raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
Length : 26m

Well again unlike for the first couple of races this year the course is described as a great test of stamina with the number of inclines it has to offer. Worse than that it will be the first race with a lap layout (due to the size of the island), which means mentally having to think I've got 6 and 1/2 more laps to go after I finish the first lap!

On the cheerful positive side it will be a great event before during and after with everyone there for a joint purpose (outside of running) and that is they are all there to support the CF Trust.

In previous years this has also included a lot of famous celebrities, including Bill Bryson, Charlie Dimmock, Jenny Agutter, Mark Richardson, Dr David Bull, Blake Morrison and Alan Hinkes.

All in all, I'm expecting this to be yet another great experience
