105.5 glorious laps with Time2Run events at the Leigh Track near Manchester.

Registration was easy enough, we got an ankle chip to count the laps, and there was a large screen displaying the lap counters, MC who was very supportive, and music from the lap station. You could only hear it one side of the track but then it was a windy day.

The feed station was fantastic, flat Coke, Electrolyte drinks, sweets, biscuits, we were very well provided for.

Pros: The fact the feed station and toilets  you could visit 105 times! No worries about finishing in a different part of city to where you start like with some of the main city marathons. And getting to know fellow runners, as you saw them on the loops, and everyone supported each other. The track was a lot quieter once the half-marathoners had finished.

cons: Track Marathon is harder mentally and physically: looping round one-direction does test the muscles. Not a normal marathon challenge, and for that I enjoyed the uniqueness of it.

Credit to the organisers, as I left my bag there in all the circular madness, but they are very kindly sending it back. Would run with Time2Run Events again for sure,  was a great day.
