I can truthfully say that for me this Marathon was the toughest race that I have done in many a year. Being very warm and humid on the day didn't help matters much, but the main hardship was from the extreme ups and downs that the course entailed. Having said this if you like a run through great scenery this is the race for you. The landscape being a mixture of heavily wooded hills with fields on the less steep folds of the land. For our budding ornothologist this area is very well populated by Red Kites. I was told that this was the result of a very successful reintroduction campaign.

STAGE 8 Dedham to Bradfield
STAGE 9 Bradfield to Ramsey. Don swapped legs with Miguel due to travel & navigational problems.Plenty of stiles to climb.
STAGE 10 Ramsey to Harwich Lighthouse. Storming last leg from Miguel. Thanks due to a lift from John & Karen
Total: 219pts to finish. 20th of 37 teams
On the whole it was a good day, the weather was good. A bit hot at times but they had water stations on all the stages. What made it difficult was having only 2 support vehicles. Trying to get runners back to their vehicles and get others to their starting points and having cars at the end was hard. Thankfully John & Karen were on hand to get Miguel to leg 10 when Kirk's car was back at leg 8. Next year we will have to plan better. A bit more recceing ahead of the race and hopefully 2 teams.
Caesar's Camp 50 Miles Endurance Run - | Name | Time | Position | | Kirk Johnson | Awaiting results | | | Jim Bird | Awaiting results | |
The race started at 12 o'clock midday Saturday and proved to be somewhat more interesting, because the race for us would go into the early hours of the morning. The conditions for night running, navigation could not be better. Crystal clear skies and a full moon to see by in the areas of the course that were open. The course consisted of 5 laps of 10 miles. The going under foot was very tough, ranging from sand, mud and flint strew tracks. The profile of the course was a mix of short sharp climbs and descents throughout.
