Inaugural marathons in 2012

2012 is going to be quite a year for all of us in the UK. A once in a lifetime experience for many will be the The Olympic Games in our capital city and, to mark this historic occasion, race organisers up and down the country are making plans for their event to be the best ever. Some are planning new events to help us celebrate what is starting to look like the year of running! Check out our calendar for all UKA licensed events.
