I don't understand - the BBC website says it doesn't start until May 2012. Are they having a practise or something????

The local (Liverpool)guy who was doing 40 marathons in 40 days is finishing today - i wonder if it was him???
He didn't have a torch when I saw him but he did have a stick with a flag on attached to his back pack
