I did that!
The folowing year they put a minimum age of 18 on it as I upset a load of people by beeting them when I was only 12!

if you're feeling particularly deranged, you could try the marathon de sables

To purposely go into Hackney then one must definitely have a mid life crisis

thats on my to do list....

MJH - if your looking for more to test yourself, try Runnerworlds and the events section and see what floats your boat in the coming months (use the marathon and Ultra filter ), i'm off to do the South Downs Marathon, which i'm told is pretty tough.

I've enterred North Downs 30k off road 15th June but tbh I'm bored with running. Plus walking is a struggle atm.

Thanks for all the suggestions - bog cycling is my current favourite

So has anyone got any better ideas? Its only April still it must be possible to find something else a bit mad to do.
google for "The fan dance". I believe the route is publically available and fairly well known.
