Must be a big disappointment for those who achieved a particular goal, PB, etc only to now have it ruled invalid. Loads of runners said it was short but basically got brushed off by the organisers and official measurers, both of who seem equally culpable. 3 years without a proper check!<br /><br />I actually thought Manchester might have been a touch on the long side this year, though that could have partly been the expectation of it being short :-)<br /><br />Next year Vienna marathon coincides with the EGU again, which may prove tempting...James Annanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04318741813895533700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9959776.post-11982296166658875972016-04-24T15:51:30.278+01:002016-04-24T15:51:30.278+01:00Looks like your time is still valid: http://www.bb...Looks like your time is still valid: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/36104638 :-)William M.
