London Inline Marathon#

The first four London Inline Marathons were 26 lap races around the Eastway Cycle Circuit in Leyton. The course is variously described as "technical", "challenging", or "a bastard" (depending on the audience) due to the exciting up- and downhills it contains. For the last few years it's also been the occassion of the British Marathon Championships.

In 2007 it will have to move venue, because that track will become part of the Olympic Village for 2012 and is due to close late in 2006.

There's lots more information at http://www.londoninlinemarathon.com, to which I now commend you, but that site lacks anything approaching the pithiness of the opening paragraph of this page.
