I cannot understand why a world class city like Liverpool don't have a marathon.
Liverpool can be the 6th major marathon inthe world.

It goes without saying the enormous support other running events that have been supported, and have increasd in popularity in the last five years e.g Liverpool Half Marathon, 10k and the recent Santa Dash. The North of England is crying out for an annual Marathon event, and 2008 would be an ideal oppurtunity that 'we' as a city should promote and encourage.

No amount of corporate 10k's, Santa dashes and half-marathons can make up for the loss of the Mersey Marathon, started in 1927 and a wonderful advert for the energy and vitality of our great city.
