Loved, loved, loved this race. We started and finished in the grounds of Strokestown house but most of the run was through bogs and along twisting country lanes. Got in just under the 2 hour mark, Â crossing the line in 1.59.51. Met one of the the organisers of the Longford half-marathon that I plan of running later this year, he reckoned one of the best marathons he has ever ran was the midnight sun marathon in Tromso, Norway… The most northerly marathon in the world… It’s on the list!
