Not if the qualification is "have run in the Olympics for the UK".

That was meant to say "Have run in the Olympic Marathon ..."
This is one of the most fascinating reads on the letsrun message board in a long time. Thanks for posting this rojo. And thanks to all the Brits and other knowledgeable folks who have commented. This is a good history lesson on distance running, and there are some great maps to look at for a map dork like me.
It would need to finish in the middle of the BBC offices built on the site of the old stadium
At least the race coverage would be good I suppose!
Make them finish in the Blue Peter studio.
First indoor finish of a Marathon ever.
In 2008 there was a run to commemorate the centenary of the 1908 marathon. Took place at 2.30pm on Thursday 24th July and followed the route from Windsor Castle to BBC Centre in White City.
It is possible to run the course but not for a championship as who wants to finish in the BBC car park!

Mr Katz,
I`d bet a lot of folks here would love to be "in the loop" on the course as it evolves. W/could you and the Brothers Jo do a sticky or at least keep this thread informed of some of the little stories that pop up as the course evolves?
thanks

rojo, do any of the above posters get a thank you for their replies?
Guess that's a no then? Just a cheap way to generate more Brit interest?
