i too used to prefer trail marathons, as opposed to road marathons, when i used to do half and full a few years back. the annual marathon in my city usually attracts just about 15,000 runners. definitely not on the scales you mention.
after i started randonneuring in 2013 i haven't done any. just no time to do justice to both running and cycling. since i have started training for a 1200-km brevet in september-end i have just rebooted my running, as part of cross-training. it's tough after all these years... Alan, a couple friends did the comrades last year i think... subash On Thu, 7 Jun 2018 21:11:45 +1200 David Mann <dmann...@gmail.com> wrote: > I did the Melbourne Half a few years back which had several tens of > thousands of runners.
