Reigate Priory Summer 10K

McGoohan

Nice way of winding down after a hard day at the office, I reckon. And maybe not too scorchingly hot at 7:30 pm!

Sweetest Thing

It was really hot last year!!!!

McGoohan

Ah. I don't "do" heat.

Love the heat, which is why we'll be many miles away - sadly going to miss this one again, apart from the hill that is!

[Deleted User]

how do you get there from london?

McGoohan

Mokina: there are some direct trains to Reigate from London Bridge.

Or: there are frequent trains from Victoria and some from London Br to Redhill, then take another train to Reigate (or a 420 or 460 bus from the bus station opposite Redhill train station)

McGoohan

Or if you're driving: A24 to Dorking, then A25 to Reigate, park in Morrison's car park.

Or: A217 straight to Reigate

Or: A23 (via Croydon/Purley Way) towards Redhill but turn right following signs to Reigate prior to Redhill town centre.

Options, we gottem.

Mcgoohan - thanks! It seems quite easy to get there! I might sign in.

[Deleted User]

Sounds like some local knowledge brought to bear, McG.

Your club's event, perhaps?

McGoohan

A bit daft really but I'm not in the club CM, though my 10 year old son is!

[Deleted User]

Blimey, a boy in the club at 10....

whatever next...

[Deleted User]

Aha! And what are you going to do when he starts beating you?

McGoohan

Tie his laces together

[Deleted User]

Actually, there's a lad of about that age goes to my running club with his dad, and they're both much faster than me...

[Deleted User]

Anyone know if the numbers get mailed out, or do we pick them up on the day?

[Deleted User]

pick up on the day and yes there is a nice big hill at about 8k adnd yes it was really hot and humid last year - great fun though and usually you can enter on the day if undecided

[Deleted User]

Numbers will be mailed out shortly. Just waiting for copies of the race instructions to include with the numbers but hopefully if you have entered, you will receive them this week.

[Deleted User]

does every runner get a medal? even if you finish last ?

[Deleted User]

Oh yes, everyone deserves a medal for finishing it!

[Deleted User]

hum defo thinking about this.

i'll race you for last place Paul E!

[Deleted User]

ok me n you race for last place

[Deleted User]

for some bizzare reason i thought this was tonight..........oh well i guess i can wait another week :-)

[Deleted User]

Did it say there were late entries?

[Deleted User]

Oh and how long should i leave to get there via the M25 from jtn 11?

I never venture out at that time normally and certainly NOT down THAT road so i have no idea how much extra time i should allow.

[Deleted User]

yes there are!

allow 60 mins at least in the late rush hour traffic (normally only 20 mins necessary, but you just don't know.)

[Deleted User]

Oh thanks Tiger........will you be there?

what time should i get there for late entries?

[Deleted User]

I'll be there, I'll head off (from jct 9) just after 6pm. I've always entered on the day in the past, will be doing so tonight as well.

[Deleted User]

Tiger i think i saw you but wasnt too sure so didnt say hello :-(

What a lovely race though, so pretty except the hills, but they were doable :-)

McGoohan

...and I didn't make it

Yet another race thread started by me where I didn't do the actual race.

McGoohan

Still, there's the Gatton Park 10K in 2 weeks time.

[Deleted User]

McG - I was looking out for you :-(

How about Elmbridge 10k on 23rd, nice and flat!
