Any tips in taking 2 hours for a 5k would be very welome!! can we run twice and treat it as a long Sunday run?
Despite response from organiser on Tuesday (see post on p9), it seems we WON'T be receiving suit/number/directions etc - he's now saying we missed the cut-off point. Anyone know of (at least) 2 numbers going spare ?
Perhaps if you offered to supply your own suit and turn up on the day??
Each race number issued has a tear off slip which will be collected when every Santa crosses the finish line and it is the tear off section which is used to determine the number of participants not the actual number of running Santa's.
You will be able to recognise me, ill be the one wearing the santa suit....Tee Hee
Seriously though if you want to meet up thats where ill be around 8:15am, im led to believe there is a McDonalds just near there for the coffee and Tea peeps????
Have to be up about 7am tomorrow but it is going to be well worth it and a great day out and hopefully we will be record breakers
RB - I'll be at that Mcdonalds at 8.15 as well - will try to spot you.
Sigh
Good luck to everyone taking part in the race today and lets have a great day nd bring the record to Liverpool
at the end when they were giving the goody bags out I took off my garmin ang put it in my goody bag with my camera.
I then had to swap goody bags cos the one I had originally had the wrong size T-shirt in, so there is a santa out there with a goody bag with a Garmin and a camera in it, if that was you or you know who it was please can someone email me on louise220275@hotmail.com please.
much appreciated
any ideas how to get the McDonald's logo off the T-shirt?? I refuse to wear it otherwise!
I hung around at Starbucks but Wifey made off with my car keys and Money so we scarpered fairly early.
My boy ran rather slowly today but we managed 35 minutes after 2 stops - Terrible stitch and a wee stop - yes that was him!(planned 27)..He is very pleased with his effort.
Mine measured the course at 3.51 miles.
Hope you get your stuff back, if its any consolation something similar happened to me last year with my HRM and phone and I got both back by leaving a text message on the phone.
Run today was good, didnt bother with time to busy stopping for a chat and looking at other Santas. Goody bag was amongst the best I've ever had, great value for £10.I will be back next year.
Hale Village run next week has a lot to follow!!
I did the 5k, then the mini dash with my 2year old niece who really enjoyed it but was a bit dissapointed at the end because there were no balloons or goody bags left!
was also a bit annoyed about the PA man announcing that all the childern from the mini dash had finished when there were still quite a few running, causing my sisters and parents to panic that my niece had got injured!
Other than that, it was a really good day and will definatly do it again.
my garmin said 3.47m (so a touch over the 5K then...)
I did enjoy my pasta and sauce (with a bit of bacon) for lunch - pretty sure we won't get that at Hale on sunday.
great day lets hope we get the record
Just a couple of questions..... if we have beaten the record, then will there not be a Santa Dash next year? or am I being a bit dim? Also, When, and how, will we know if we broke the record? Does anyone know?
Missed coffee, etc at the end, sorry. Hope everyone enjoyed themselves though.
I was very slow for a list of excuses that's too long but it was the best running fun I've had since the Prestwich Challenge.
Didn't meet anyone in Starbuck's opposite the Town Hall despite having a big Forumite badge on my back.
Took me 45 mins to do what I had clocked at 3.51 miles, not too bad for me but I gave it as much as I could to get a good time for 3.1 miles and then relaised I still was nowhere near the finish so I was a little tired doing the last bit.
I have also learned as well today never to run if your suffering with a cold, ive been bad all week but I was determined to go today but now I feel awful and cant stop coughing, should have known better really!
Ho hum
Didnt meet any forumites but ran with frinds from work.
Hope we bust the record!
Oh yeah and I didnt notice upper parliment street on the map they gave us, evil race organisers....I hate that hill
