    “We plan to have a relatively low-key debut running of the event this year to allow us to gain a full understanding of the demands of hosting the full distance marathon.”

    Initially the race aims to attract runners who would like the chance to try a new race that’s both scenic and relatively flat, so providing the opportunity for a Personal Best over the distance.

    Runners wishing to register for the Peterborough Marathon 2019 can do so online at www.sublimeracing.com
