WOULD-BE competitors across the region will know by now whether their application for next year’s Flora London Marathon has been successful and – if so – they will be planning the trip.
Accrington Road Runners can help because as usual they will be organising an inclusive weekend to the event.
The coach will leave East Lancashire on the morning of Saturday April 25 via pick-up points at Clitheroe, Great Harwood, Accrington Town Hall, Blackburn Boulevard and the Tickled Trout at the M6 junction.
On arrival in London athletes will be taken to register for the race.
Accommodation for Saturday night is at the Rosebery Avenue Halls at Islington, 100 yards from the Sadlers Wells Theatre.
Included in the price of £110 is breakfast on Sunday, coach travel to the start of the race, and return to East Lancashire on Sunday evening.
The club is extending an invitation to other local runners to join them. To secure your spot a deposit of £50 will be required. Call Harry Haseley on 01254-885611 for more details.
