This race came highly recommended - and I would certainly recommend it. I entered the Marathon on the Sunday, but there is a half marathon option with a 5k on he Saturday.

As the title suggests, the race is based around music. Every few miles on the course, there was a band or DJ playing - this certainly helped towards the end of the race. The Marathon started at Albert Dock and headed out of town towards the football grounds. A lap of Goodison Park before a run through Stanley Park towards Anfield. You got to run through Anfield along the concourse and even had the opportunity to get a photo overlooking the pitch. The route went back into town and ran by the Cavern Club and then took in Penny Lane. Following a route which took in parks and main roads, we headed towards the Mersey and the final 4 miles to the finish. If you were a bit quicker than me, (6 hrs), you would get to see a concert at the finish line, but the atmosphere was still great.

This is a fantastic event and one to return to!
