Thats the 2nd new 'Great Run' in Scotland (Stirling Marathon being the other) and finally taking the events out of Glasgow & Edinburgh

 

Both routes go past Pittodrie too. Just watch BT and co try and arrange a sunday TV match for the same day

The fees are indeed very high to compete in a race.

Wonder if Brendan Foster is involved taking a huge pot from the fees. As he does with the London marathon .

Your entrance fee for the London marathon doesn't go to charity ..^^^^^^^.

 

 

But its still great for the city to host a half marathon I expect huge numbers of entrants for both races..

Its been a long time since we hosted one.

I do know it costs money to close roads and to police events like this.

I never thought for one minute the entry fee for London goes to charity but I didn't know Brendan Foster was involved in that one - I thought he was just behind the "Great" runs.

 

It's an expensive race but I've entered the half. We need a decent big half marathon in Aberdeen.

I know Peter Jennings really well he just got reelected last night as chairman of Aberdeen Metro.

Sounds like we know some of the same people!  :thumbsup:

 

 

Just joined Metro couple of days ago I know all the old timers as buc was indeed a member from day one.

 

I didn't vote for Peter to be chairman but I told him nothing personal as change is good that's why I voted for Rob Taylor.

 

Peter and Jackie are lovely lovely lads .

Aye but you'd be one of the young ones. :AFC2:

 

If you were at the meeting I was the one who got asked to do the draw for the 3 London marathon places Phil Cowie is my running mate.
