Running, supporting, or just emotionally involved from a bar stool? Doesn't really matter.

We guarantee zero jumping jacks required (HR would like to confirm), but we will be serving delicious pub food, pints that fix everything, cocktails what will knock your socks off and the marathon live on multiple screens.

Book now before Martin does another set 👇
