I think you may find them every 3 miles.

alan taylor 6

Hi DL20 they will be at 3.5m , 7m, 10m and its all 330ml sports cap bottles. because when its cold you don't want cold water spilling down your top hope that helps.

alan taylor 6

The Egyptian Toe

Anyone in the know - Am I correct in thinking that there`s no park or similar nearby for little ones? Wondering if I`m best getting dropped off

alan taylor 6

There is a small park in Elswick at the 10mile point easy to find with a good carpark right next to it.

Hi Egyptian Toe

If it is a rubbish day and you are looking somewhere for the family to go whilst you run then I would recommend Holly Farm, which is just off the A6. As well as being able to see the animals there is a play area and cafe.

Inskip Half Marathon



Directions from North and South;



PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CAR SHARE



Get of the M6 onto the M55 signed posted Blackpool.

Get of the M55 at junction 1.

On the of ramp stay in right hand lane and take the third exit on the roundabout which is the A6 Garstang Rd.

You will then come to a set of traffic lights you need to turn left onto the B5269.

Once on this Rd follow it till you come to a T junction at the junction turn right but with care as there is a bit of a blind spot. Once on this road follow it without turning of until you come to the Derby Arms Pub turn left and go along this road for just over half a mile and take the second turning on your right into the event site where you will be advised by a steward where to park and please listen to the stewards and park as tight as possible cheers.

Looking forward to this - will be travelling down from Kendal - have car space if anyone wants a car share?

The Egyptian Toe

Any idea what time the Derby Arms opens? Not for me, but family if they decide to hang about. And id there a baggage drop-off?

alan taylor 6

It will be 12 noon but there is a caf?? in Elswick at about 9.25miles just up from the little park and it sells great ice cream. Perfect family sets before the start has a trip to caf?? and then to the park for a play and see dad as he passes and then into car to see dad finish.

The Egyptian Toe

Cheers Alan. Sounds like a plan! Bag drop off?

alan taylor 6

No bag drop of but basic things in a bag can be left in the corner of the marquee which will have someone there all the time.

Tim Richardson 5

Gutted to say our house has been broken into today so can't travel for the event - have to secure the property, get locks changed, sort out 101 other things, so my entry is available for anyone who wants it. Not sure if I need to do anything else other than say I won't be turning up. Not happy....

 

alan taylor 6

Tim I will sell your number on the day and transfer your number over to my other race the valiants half marathon on the 19th April if that ok. Hope you get it sorted and the little shits didn't take to much all the best Alan T.

Tim Richardson 5

Thanks Alan, much appreciated. They didn't take too much but left a hell of a mess. Unfortunately I can't make the 19th April but maybe next Jan? Thanks again and have a great event -sorry I can't make it.

alan taylor 6

Hope all of you are ready for sunday and get either PBs or seasons best.

Hi Alan, looking forward to Sunday and didn't get final instruction sheet but have noted details further back in this thread so will be fine. Veggie hotpot please! Thanks, Alison Cardwell.

I'm keen to take Tim's place (see recent post above), and have messaged Tim direct to see if the opportunity is still available. If his place has already gone, good luck to everyone running tomorrow. Come to think of it, good luck to anyone running tomorrow regardless!

Tim Richardson 5

Hi Ian, just replied to your message. Sorry for the delay, too much to sort out still.... Looks like the weather should be perfect tomorrow so good luck everyone. Tim

alan taylor 6
