Saw this in out local paper and think it's a great idea to get the whole family out exercising and 'taking part' at the time of the London Marathon....
Basically you register as a family, and then each individual member can 'clock up' miles over the course of 5 weeks before the 'real' marathon, and then on Marathon day (April 17th?) you all run the last bit together and give yourselves a medal!!
I've just signed us up on the website, FloraFamilyMarathon DS1 is going to do a total of 5 miles, and DS2 2 miles (in line with their ages!!! )
Anyone else fancy it? It's only a tenner and you get a hat and a pedometer I think!
