We are debating whether or not to camp at Blackpool next weekend as my husband is doing the half-marathon. My only concern is that he won't get a good night's sleep and so spoil his run.

Have been looking a hotels and so far, no luck unless we want to spend 200 quid for all of us! Canvas could be the only option!

In my experience the night before a race you dont sleep well anyway, the way I work is to make sure I get lots of rest and good sleep in the week running up to a race and then you will be ok if you dont sleep too well the night before. Good luck x

Completed the Belfast marathon a couple of weeks ago and helenm26 is right, not much sleep to be had the night before no matter where you are so under canvas is as good as anywhere else...

I seem to remember people on one of the forums here discussed places to stay for the Great North Run - a few had camped for that in the Newcastle area.

Good luck to your husband.
