The Cities Marathon which is mostly run on the new M7 cycleway needs a lead rider. We aren't allowed to have vehicles on the course. You will have to have a reliable bike and be capable of keeping in front of the lead runner.
Plus have the stamina to climb the 90 metres rise over the first 13ks.
You're not going to be paid for this but we can offer two tickets to the Marathon Eve Pasta Party with Steve Moneghetti as special guest.
So if you're available on the 30th of July just go to my funrun website and click on the email link in the top right corner and I'll get back to you.

I nominate my grandma, she's never ridden a bike, but that should be easy enough 🙂 90m, in 13km? That's MY kinda hill

If the web sites Google took me to don't lie, a marathon is just over 42km, and world record time for a marathon is a few minutes over 2 hours. So average speed would be 21km/h ... a granny gear dawdle.
Its probably harder than it sounds though, because of the need to match the front runner's speed and not get too far in front. That means you can't go too fast down hills, and therefore you wouldn't be riding as economically as a rider would when alone. Would I be correct in saying that a marathon runner isn't as slowed (as a percentage of max speed) by an up sloping hill as a cyclist would be?

They're not even going to give you a jersey or something? What a gyp!

Sure, as long as I've got my backup leg-breaking crew, to keep everyone else behind me ;-)
