Running Is A Mug's Game

am just putting together the finishing touches to a race schedule for next year, as part of a book I'm writing called Running Is A Mug's Game. I'm also doing a video diary for the BBC and Asics are sponsoring the project.

The project begins at 11.55pm on New Year's Eve for a 2km race in Milford, Derbyshire and finishes there on December 31st, 2007.

I have tried to choose a wide variety of races across the UK, but I am still looking for new races. Races with some history attached to them, or they have a unique character. The race may be special because some of the runners who take part.

If you know of any races I have missed - or if you want to join me on any races - please get in touch. I would really value your input, and any race organisers reading this, please let me know if you have an event worth fitting into this schedule, which can be amended.

Besides the writing and filming, the project will be raising funds for the Hampshire Autistic Society.

I have also posted this message on the general site.

Dave.
