GLCL Spring Marathon Preparation Virtual Races

During discussions when we were setting up the winter virtual GLCL races, it was mentioned that many runners would also usually be taking part in longer distance races this time of year to prepare for a Spring marathon. 

So we came up with the idea of, in addition to the winter virtual GLCL league 5 mile races, to also having GLCL Spring Marathon Preparation Virtual Races : January 8 mile,  February Half Marathon and March 20 mile virtual races. 


These three longer distance virtual races are not part of the virtual GLCL winter league 5 x 5 mile race series, but are totally separate virtual races and will not influence scoring in the virtual GLCL winter league 5 x 5 mile race competition.

The Jan 8 mile, Feb Half Marathon and Mar 20 mile virtual races will be free to enter, and entry will be restricted to just the affiliated runners of the nine GLCL clubs plus the affiliated runners of Torfaen Runners have also been invited to take part.

Participation will be similar to other virtual GLCL races; runners complete the run and submit their result with supporting evidence using an online form during the event time window. Each virtual race will have a seven day window for the runner to complete their run, and they are only permitted to submit one result. There won't be any prizes, just online results, we will also show results for male and female teams. Teams will be based on four runners to count.


The GLCL Spring Marathon Preparation Virtual Race dates are as follows :

Mon. 18th ~ Sun 24th January : 8 mile virtual race.

Sat. 20th ~ Sun 28th February : Virtual half marathon

Sat. 6th ~ Sun 14th March : 20 mile virtual race. All these virtual races will be covered by a UKA/RunBritain virtual race permit. Details of each event will be published a couple of weeks before the event start date.


As many of the spring marathons are already cancelled or postponed we may also have a virtual marathon in April if there is sufficient interest.

To boost interest in a virtual marathon in April it has been suggested we would offer runners the option to pay for entry to the marathon and to receive a memento (maybe a medal and shirt or something). This is still to be decided.
