Win the ultimate London marathon experience!

The Daily Mail has teamed up with the Spinal Injuries Association, official charity of the Flora London Marathon 2008, to offer you the chance to win a complete marathon weekend experience, including a guaranteed place in the race and luxury accommodation.
The challenge of the marathon begins even before you consider pulling on your running shoes, as potential participants have to battle it out just to get a place on the starting line. Places in the London marathon are mainly secured by entering a ballot in the summer, and it's now in early December that potential entrants are informed if they have been successful or not. Last year more than 125,000 people applied for just 36,000 places, so the competition is tough.

All you need to do is answer the simple question:- How many miles are there in the London marathon? – Think you know the answer?:T

Terms and conditions,p> The prize includes two nights' deluxe room accommodation on 12 and 13 April 2008 with English breakfast each morning at the Renaissance Chancery Court (https://www.renaissancechancerycourt.co.uk) Prizes can not be exchanged or transferred. Entrants must be at least 18 years of age.
Many thanks to the wonderful staff at Birmingham Childrens Hospital caring for my tiny and very poorly grandson who was born at 29 weeks. Thanks to them he is getting a little stronger every day.:A:A:A
