Of the 15 runners, three qualified to race in the UKA Marathon Championship which is incorporated within the event while a further 9 athletes pre-qualified for the event by running “Good for age” qualifying times. Ollie Haradence, who has been in great form recently, will be looking to run close to 2 hours 30 mins while many of the men are looking to run between 2.40 and 3 hours. Andrea Deathridge and Kate McBrien will hope to be our first women back in around 3.15-3.20.
