Exit Or Brexit Marathon was a Politically themed track marathon. 105.5 laps with the option to ‘exit’ if you can’t cope! There was a Half Marathon option too. Track Marathons are mentally very tough. There was little crowd support but the few that there were was very vocal and enthusiastic. The track wasn’t a professional style track, it was cinder and was quite dusty. Runners were told on the PA how many laps they’d completed with were recorded by a timing chip in the ankle. Finishers were rewarded with a lovely medal plus beer/lager, chocolate and cake. Really enjoyable day

Exit or Brexit was a topically themed track marathon (or half) race which took place on a cinder running track at a school. Marathon was 105.5 laps with the half marathon 53 laps. Laps were counted using a timing chip which was attatched to the leg, so at least we didn’t have to count the laps. 😆 The thought of running 26.2miles around a running track might be deemed as hell, but I enjoyed it. I’ve done track marathons before and know how mentally tough they can be. On the plus side, the course is flat and there was a well stocked water station every 400 meters. Registration was quick and easy. Marshals were awesome and gave plenty of support. Finishers received a fantastic Brexit themed medal. It’s an absolute beauty. There was also the usual chocolate, beer and home baked cake on offer. In summary - Pros- Fun, friendly race. Flat course, superb medal and a great day all round. Cons- Music to keep runners occupied and motivated would’ve been nice. I heard a couple of runners grumble about the cinder track as they were expecting an athletics track. It didn’t bother me, in fact it was good training for a race I have coming up. That said, in the future it might be worth mentioning in the race guide that it takes place on a cinder track, rather than an athletics track. Thanks again to Team IGUN and marshals for a super day. Track marathons are tough but if you tackle them right, there’s plenty of positives. Would I do this race again? 100%, yes I would.

Brilliant and unusual event. I'd never done a track race before and had heard horror stories of the monotony, but it was brilliant. As always, the support from the IGUN team, other runners and spectators was great. I won't say that the 53 laps flew by exactly but it was a great challenge. Love the medal and the cake afterwards is always amazing!

Only the IGUN team would make me even consider this type of event. Running loops for houtmrs is a stupid idea but I enjoyed yesterday a lot. The marshals, organisers and other runners were fantastic. Salted, baked, new potatoes at feed stations are brilliant. The medal, beer and cake are excellent. If they do it again next year then I'm in.

1st track mara. I entered because i had never done one and wanted to experience it. People said id get bored but i didnt. It was mentally tough but certainly not boring. Love IGUN events they really are great value for money and local to me so logistics are always a bonus. Top top day well done everyone
