The first Bristol to Bath Marathon on October 25th is going to be my first ever marathon. Some of you may think I enjoy running but training for this is going to take a lot of time and effort.
Since joining Southville Running Club in the last week of October 2014 I've been running regularly and achieved more than I thought I could. Whilst I will be happy to just finish the race, to aid my fundraising I will provide a prize for the person who comes closest to guessing my finishing time. Please leave your guess in the comments box when donating.
Please see below for a few numbers to guide your guesses:

If that means nothing to you then pick a time somewhere between 3 1/2 - 4 hours and you will be pretty close.
