Can you e-mail me the info on the Birkenhead Park and Thurstaston race please.
I'm in Chester and could add them to my diary!
Cheers!
from memory, thurstaston was first week in May, Birkenhead Park first week in June.
The thurstaston race starts at thurstaston visitor centre, (resgistration is round the back) goes down the road with the speedbumps through the caravan park, down to the beach, along the beach for a couple of miles, off the beach up towards lower heswall, a loop through the heswall dales then back along the wirral way to finish at the visitor centre. Probably 5.5-6 miles. Hard work, but a great run on a summer's evening.
The Birkenhead Park race - registration at the rugby club, then five laps of the park, with a short section on the road on each lap. There is a slight slope to one corner of the course, which gets steeper with each lap, but its a definite PB course and lovely if the weather is nice. There are kids races before as well.
I'd heartily recommend both, fairly clubby but I was a way from last when I was in 40 min 5m shape.
I'll keep an eye out for any info for this year and post it if I find anything, I think I got leaflets for both at various merseyside races (I got most of a tree stuck in my wipers at croxteth park)last year, but I'm not doing any of them this time, so if the rest of you can keep an eye out, that'd be helpful.

both races are in the "unconfirmed" section at the bottom, and the seaside run dates are on there too.
Thanks for that! I'll take a peek at them and might do them both. I like the idea of supporting local runs.
I remember Birkenhead park from my childhood, so it would be nice to race around it.
Was it just me - or no stuff about £2 discount for club runners and no mention of club name ?
Bhead Park may be fun - I've raced bikes round there and that climb really tells after an hour.
definitely no club stuff cougs - on the events page there's just one price for everyone.

Inverness half (March 12 running)
Liverpool half (March 19 walking)
Edibnburgh half (possibly, it's March 26)
Playtex Moonwalk (May)
Firth of Forth tri (July)
Also want to fit in a couple of 10ks, maybe the Paeroa to Thames 32km race in NZ in September, K2 192km road (bike) race in NZ in October and tentatively the Taupo 1/2 Ironman in December.
As for Liverpool half training... did 9.5km on Tuesday (walked all but 1.5km) in 1:19, was going to run yesterday but went for a sleep instead and tomorrow I'm going to run 9 miles to the pool for a tri club swim set.
Must be mad.
Mum meanwhile has been following her training programme to the letter but doesn't know I'll be keeping her company on the day.

Will be the only time my name appears first as it certainly won't be on the results after the race!
She's also threatening to join me in the Coniston 14 on April fools day. Guess that should tell me something.

Mr viking just called you a few names jakesy, cant repeat here there are children in the living room.!!
On the day it is very well organised City Fan. 1st and last 3 miles are run around Sefton Park and is all flat...apart from the infamous Upper Parliament Street which is a killer at the 8 mile marker. RW pacers were there last year....I believe they will be back again this year.
Did anyone use the pacing groups last year and if so did they work?
