If the weather cooperates I think you will be able to do it. Good luck!

I've done a similar thing for the City to Surf and over a 15km course I've got a 10min spread. Good luck.

I'm probably going to try and line up with the 2hr half marathon people which = the 4hr marathon people :) Good luck!!! Oh, and the weather is looking like it will be perfect!
