I’ve got a place in the Maine Marathon – yippee!
I have cycled to a couple of marathons before, so in theory it is doable!
The first time I cycled a grand total of 10 miles, before relaxing my legs while I was given a lift the rest of the way to the start of the Strathearn Marathon – a run I would highly recommend – quite roads, lovely scenery, friendly marshals and lots of cakes at the finish line – cake is always good.

The second time was when I cycled from home to Stornoway on Harris to run the Callanish Stones marathon – approximately 250 miles of cycling. Another great run – as above but instead of cakes I got a whole Stornoway black pudding and lots of other goodies at the finish line and a fantastic ceilidh at night. This race has only taken place twice and about 5 years apart – hopefully it will run again in another few years time. ps – the cycling is dam good as well.
So whats a wee 4000-5000 mile bike ride prior to 26.2 run? Only time will tell.
