"Starting from 9 September, runners and retro chocolate enthusiasts alike will have 12 weeks to run, sprint, or jog their way to Morrisons to buy a Marathon, before the name goes back to Snickers."

"Eat two, complete an ultra."

What an excellent excuse to buy some of my favourite chocolate!!

[grumpyoldgirl]

Yay! I still haven't come to terms with the name change, this might set me back...

[misswobble Marathon]

😝. I hated them! I might like them now though Since becoming a runner I eat lots of stuff I never ate before

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to misswobble]

I have always preferred Mars Bars - I worry about the Snickers nuts getting stuck in my throat while running...

[Whatsapp Half Marathon]

I always said I wasn't sure if I would attempt a mrarathon, but thats definitely one I can jump on board with!!

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

Brilliant, I still call it marathon despite what it says on the wrapper. I must go buy some. Purely for post run of course.

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

Bet you sneak a little nibble whether you’ve run or not Dexy! 😅😅

[Dexy5 10 Miles in reply to cheekychipmunks]

You are right of course cheeky 😋

In another life I ran(jogged/walked) the 1990 London marathon. I was amazed that towards the end children were handing out Opel Fruits. The affect was amazing, the kindness and support from the crowd that had waited around to cheer us slow coaches on was so uplifting. Plus those sweets were like Popeye’s spinach, when everything hurt and you felt cold as soon as the sugar hit your system you felt like might just be able to do that grandstand finish after all. (Sports nutrition has come a long way since then)

Thank you people.

If the name ever changes back from Starburst I might be tempted to do something rash and... we’ll maybe😉😊

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to MatildasPb]

Zingy fruit flavours also give quite a boost, I've found 😊😊😊

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

[SaskAlliecat Half Marathon]

Now that's a marathon I could actually finish 😋

[C3PO Marathon]

Haha! I'll have to pick some up on my next trip.

[Decker Ultramarathon]

Haha apparently Snickers was released as Marathon in the UK because Snickers rhymed with knickers culinarylore.com/food-histo...

[Lysia Half Marathon]

Oh man, and there's me not being able to eat milk chocolate. Dang.

[aliboo70 Half Marathon]

Wow! I'm on it! (Well maybe not the actual marathon!!) 😆

[misswobble Marathon]

Just been comfirmed that we’re getting one in our goody bags at my next Marathon. 😃

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to misswobble]

Oh yes, I saw that on Facebook - you lucky people!! 😄

[Dexy5 10 Miles in reply to misswobble]

Excellent, and well deserved.
