Quicksand 15
Hi everybody. Thought I would get the ball rolling on this one. You won't catch me doing it but i have marshalled it a number of times and those who do it always seem to come back for more, so why not give it a go.

The very same could be said for the 'Cross-Bay Challenge' that crosses Morecambe Bay (from Flookburgh, Cumbria - to - Hest Bank/Morecambe, Lancashire), it was certainly an experience
Now that could be a worrying race, if you're daft enough to go off-course!!
It's just a pity that this one is too far south to even consider attending
I was looking forward to this...but I've just discovered it's been brought forward to September and clashes with the Folkestone Half,which I've already entered thinking the Quicksand would be on a Saturday morning in October (like last year).
It's a great event that deserves a much bigger field,which the new date will hopefully achieve.
It comes highly recommended and I definitely want to run it again and try to break 2 hours.
I remember the kite festival,so I see why you didn't want it on the same day again !
Best of luck with the new date and I hope you get a great turnout this year,which Quicksand richly deserves.
I was going to do the Folkestone Half and keep up my record of having done all of them, but I have gone the other way from David, so I shall be sampling the Quicksand 15 for the first time (the night after our club outing to Shepherd Neame).
As the race takes in all sorts of terrain, any recommendations for footwear?
Is the race full or will you be taking entries on the day ?
Cheers

Thanks. I found the mail address on the Thanet RR site and got the details mailed. I hope to be there. Looks like it could be a sunny, if very windy, day.

Thanks to all at Thanet for another well-organised event. My especial thanks to all of the marshals; it was tough running, but at least we were able to generate some sort of warmth - even if I did come home and turn the central heating on and leap into a piping hot bath to warm up.
Sharon,
Entry forms are now available via our club website for the Turkey run, when it will be my turn to stand and shiver in a howling gale!
Thanks Thanet. That was.........refreshing.
I did notice that it was a tad windy in places, but a great course. Really interesting, took the mind off the distance and the miles flew by. I much prefer these local, club run events to the massive, commercial packed races. I couldn't fault the organization in any respect. The marshalls are all heros.
Well done Thanet. Hopefully next year you'll be luckier with the weather and get a few more out.

Thanks for the kind feedback peeps - it is a unique event and it would be great to be able to have a much larger field - spread the word!
Sir CdC have printed off some forms to take along tonight - we'll all enter this week hopefully.
