If you are preparing for a Full Marathon (FM), you can use this event as a dry run. • 6-Hour Run: Perfect for experienced Half Marathoners and beginners preparing for a Full Marathon.

It's perfect for experienced Full Marathoners training for an Ultra event and for those looking to add a serious Ultra run to their experience.
