Thought I'd let you know, in case someone has time and cash left over from the already numerous events attended Wink

. Fees are €25 for now, will go up in May. Helsinki is a really nice little place.

Oddly enough, I was talking to a friend on irc only the other day who's probably entering that (it's his local event)

I'd probably pop across the gulf if I was visiting home but we're not going 'til Aug. Sad

Could potentially be interested in this if others are. Smile

Are there any cheap flights to Helsinki, though?
The EasyJet Tallinn flights are at times which would mean taking a day off work (though would be nice to catch up with friends there), Ryanair flies to Tampere which looks at least a 4-hour drive northwest of Helsinki (though with good flight times), and Air Berlin and Lufthansa look pretty expensive to get there...

Sol - what time does the full marathon start? I could see times in the website you linked to, but not too sure which times were what...

Race starts 12.00, closes 15.30.
If you ask me nicely i can look up friends rates on BA Wink
