Quoted from MarinerWY
Yes I ran it - what a day! Was gruelling but amazing, the crowds were incredible.

My folks were there with their town scarfs, and I appreciated the laminated Town badge stuck to a lampost in Arthington, shouted 'UP THE MARINERS' as I ran past it. Wasn't in town shirt myself as ran in my Leeds Hospitals Charity fundraising top.

The hills were tough especially the 3 mile drag coming out of Otley, but the crowds were amazing, and seeing Kev push Rob round was inspiring and emotional in equal measure and gave me huge motivation to keep going.

An incredible event for an amazing cause - people were running for all sorts of different charity's, although there is a particular push from Leeds Hospitals Charity and MND Association to build a new Motor Nuerone Disease care centre to give people with MND and their families the best possible support.

Well done to all fellow Mariners who ran it. UTM


That hill was a sodomist wasn’t it.  My first marathon so I can’t compare. But my two mates who’ve run a few said the public support was amazing.  I was wearing a Town top and got some good natured abuse at the start.  But all the way round it was genuinely great support.  Fair play to the Yorkies on that one.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Well done MarinerWY, just thinking about running up the drag out of Otley makes me feel knackered! A fantastic cause
