Posted by Cags R under Marathon Running on 12 Apr 2012 at 11:00 AM
This weekend will host the Brighton, Paris and Boston Marathons and Tribesports users are out in force, running for some amazing charities and earning their stripes over this epic weekend of running!
Show your support to our representatives across 3 countries and if you're going down to watch be sure to look out for some of these familiar faces!
Barry B will see you at the finish line after his successful warm up 2 weekends ago at the Croydon Half.
Meanwhile Chris B will have a smile on his face as he completes his Challenge to Run 100km in April during the marathon this Sunday.
Newcomer to Tribesports Andy W will be aiming to Run a Marathon in Under 4 hours so give him a big cheer as he speeds past the 20 mile mark!
Stuart K is eating himself silly in preparations for the race and loving every second of it!
After making his target marathon pace on his final run Andy B has been struggling to stop his feet twitching during the last week of tapering!
A smashing 1:29 Reading Half Marathon has set Nick S in great stead for Brighton on Sunday.
Stefan K is running into the marathon having set a new 5k PB so here's hoping for another PB at Brighton!
Lesley B will be aiming to complete the Boston Marathon in a pretty speedy time: good luck with the Run a Marathon in Under 3:30 Challenge Lesley!
Michael M is coming down from Canada for the event, give him a wave as he storms by!
Seasoned marathon runner James M is pushing himself for a Marathon in Less than 3:15, amazing stuff!
Disaster struck this week when Steve and Sean had to bow out of the Paris Marathon due to injury but never fear, Tribesports will still be represented!
Kate O is raising loads of money for Sarcoma UK and is determined to battle her cold before heading across the Channel to Paris.
Team mate to Kate is Katherine F, they will be heading over to Paris tomorrow and Katherine is preparing her breakfast of champions for the big race!
Jenny B has set a new half marathon PB of 1:49 and we can't wait to hear what her new marathon time will be on Sunday, good luck Jenny!
Jerome T doesn't have far to travel on Sunday, as a Paris local he's had time to suss out the route and preparing for an awesome run.
Cieren L will be gutted to be missing out on his finish-line smooch from Steve so be sure to give him an extra cheer of support!
Elliot M will be taking on his first marathon this weekend and aiming to do it in Under 4 hours.

Thanks for the shout out! I am soooo excited to go to Boston. We leave on Saturday. The intense nervous energy in my house is overwhelming right now! Both my fiancé and I are racing.

I'd wish you all luck, but you don't need it - you've done your training - now all that is left is to believe in yourself, and get out there and enjoy it! If and when you hit the wall, remember that it's not supposed to be easy, and running through it is what makes you special compared to Joe Bloggs on the street. Keep a smile on your face, high five a kid if you're feeling low, it will perk you right back up, reminding yourself you're doing something amazing....and most of all, have fun!
