Really sorry to be pedantic, but Blaydon isn't in Newcastle. Sometimes the detail of the race is on the Gateshead Council website - but not always. OOK will know - I expect he'll be along shortly!
If we are being pedantic (and I have a bit of a reputation for it) Blaydon is not in Newcastle. But the Blaydon Races does start in Newcastle PP, although finishs on "the other side of the river"! ;o)
And I didn't actually say that Blaydon was in Newcastle, merely that myself and my colleagues will be going to Newcastle to do this race.
We will, in fact, be going to Newcastle (upon-Tyne, for the absence of doubt), checking into a hotel, running said race (wherever it is) then returning to Newcastle for copious beers, as it is the lovely AussieVic's birthday on 9th june.
So there.
Now - does anyone know how you enter the blimmin' thing?
To be even more pedantic, people in Blaydon won't admit to now being incorporated into Gateshead either. It was an independant UDC within County Durham until boundary changes.
Anyway, nothing; even on the unofficial real ale telegraph. I was in Start Fitness on saturday asking the same question, they are confidently optimistic but nothing more tangible.
Check "Canny Crack" for frequent updates..if you speak the language.
Just to let you know that the website (www.blaydonrace.com) has been updated and the race is taking place this year. They are hoping that the entry form will be in The Journal on 21st Februaary.
The race is definitely on as I was talking to Bob, the organiser about it last night. They are hoping the entry form will be in the journal on 21 Feb, but it will be quicker and a lot more reliable to enter online.
Unfortunately, due to my marathon on June 4th I will not be running this year, but will be helping out at the end so will see you all as you cross the finish!
