The Great West Run Pub Crawl

On Sunday the 6th of May the city of Exeter will grind to a halt nearly three thousand mad bastards pound the streets and console themselves for not training enough to enter the London Maraton.

We believe the day could be spent much more indulgently by popping into each pub on the route for a quick pint and watch the loonies plod on past.

If you're feeling slightly more energetic, why not do both? We've put together a revised map of the course for you including each and every public house on the route, so there's no excuse for not popping in for a little liquid refreshment.

There's 8 pubs on lap one and 9 on lap two (visiting each pub once per lap) so after thirteen-point-something miles you'll be 17 pints the better and you won't really care how long it takes to complete the course.

Rumblings in the office have said shots should be taken at each mile marker (you might want to bring a hip flask) although we only recommended that for serious piss-heads.

We should point out that our Sports Editor has taken it upon himself to drag his arse around the route so keep an eye out for him.
