So, you know, you could go to the North Pole and do a marathon, all the while trying to evade extras from a Fox's Glacier Mints ad, or, alternatively, you can do one in the comfort of your own home/leisure centre. Either's good. If the latter option appeals, then the fourth National Indoor Rowing Marathon Day takes place on Sunday April 17th, 2005, the same day as the London Marathon. As well as a marathon, you can also do the half-marathon, which at 21,097m should be within the reaches of most.For more information and an entry form, visit: http://www.therowingcompany.com/marathon/Also, while we're on the subject, all-round nice guy and president of the British IRC Sir Steve Redgrave will be running the Flora London Marathon again this year in order to raise money for victims of the tsunami. He's writing a regular column about his attempt for the BBC Sport website, and the latest dispatch can be found at http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/athletics/4327043.stm.
