BBC athletics commentator and former 1500m World Champion and record holder Steve Cram has launched a new race claiming to be Britain’s most picturesque – The Kielder Marathon.
The course, which is mainly off road, uses the Lakeside Way – a brand new trail that encircles the shoreline of Kielder Water, northern Europe’s largest man-made lake. Registration closes on 12 March 2010 and it will cost £35 to see if the claim is a valid one.
Mind you, I have always found that having if you are having a tough time of it during a race, there isn’t a single river, mountain or beautiful view that can make things feel any easier.
