We had one IOWRR travel to Meon Valley in Southampton to take on a muddy multi-terrain Marathon.
With over 800 metres of elevation the course is run on country lanes, trails and grass, this is a challenging marathon, but rewards you with fabulous views over the beautiful Meon Valley, across Hampshire to the Isle of Wight.
Run mainly on footpaths, bridleways and byways, there will be route-marking with signs and repeater tape and multiple water/feed stations along the way.
The route has technical challenges with slippery descents on chalky tracks, and is muddy in places, but the entire route should be runnable.
In a field of 133 finishers Ian came 93rd in a time of 05:24:10 – Excellent running in some tough conditions!
