Greetings from bonny Scotland … really looking forward to this 🙂
Greetings fellow writers, poets. 🙂
Eagerly anticipating for the marathon..
I am from Sussex in the UK. First timer and no idea what I am doing. X
I’ve become addicted to this event, looking forward to it every year. I did the 24 hour marathon a couple of years but now only commit to the half marathon. I may go a little longer, we’ll see. Then poems written in the wee hours after midnight are always a surprise.
Hello everyone, I am also a first timer
I think I can write since I have some time in my hand. Lets see if I can make it. Waiting for your guidance.
I’m sorry, the marathon is already over for this year. It will happen again next year.
