    Copenhagon or Prague Marathon?

    So which would people recommend?

    Both mid May, a week apart so can't do both, both about 6 hrs drive away from where I'll be.

    Prague mentions a congested start which is putting me off.. I'll probably run somewhere around 2:40..

    Just right off the top of my head I'd say Copenhagen is flatter though less interesting!? Been to both, never ran there!

    I will be running this one Iain http://www.silesiamarathon.pl/en/aktualnosci/ will be a bit closer for you than the others, mind you katowice is no prague for looks! It is a fast marathon though and only about 15quid! My gf is from that part of poland and we are over there then, hence i will be running it

    Cheers, I'll have a look. I have a marathon next week in North Germany, but just steady pace, just want a quality training run with the 100k at the end of march. I'll then see how I recover and plan from there..
