"We sent out your race number and instructions on 16th January. Unfortunately some runners haven’t received theirs
So we have contacted the post office they are carrying out a search! We’ll wait until next Monday then send out a replicate
number and instructions. Please let us know if you have received yours."
....
So if you haven't got your number yet perhaps you ought to contact them. I know I've had my number for a while now.
Snoop's doing Paris too and he's going for the 15 mile option.
Hmm, still considering this one, although also considering the Gatwick Half as well. Can someone make my mind up for me please?
See a few of you there then!
Aim to do 21, but lets see how I fare after 14 to 15........
Nothing too savage - one small hill to navigate towards the end of the short loop, so you'll hit that at around 14 miles (and again at 20 if you're doing the longer distance). Like I say, it's nothing really, it just feels like it when you've already got 20 miles under your belt, and that's all that stands between you and the finish line!
Undulating is an exaggeration - if you want undulating in Surrey/Hant's/Sussex, do the Ball Buster, or Meon Valley Plod.
So, can someone enlighten me about where exactly the race starts, and what sort of surface do we run on?
Cheers
Andy
The Start is about 50yds down Knowle Lane, off the High Street. Race HQ (last year, so I assume it's the same this time round) is in the Band Room which is adjacent to the Leisure centre. There's a big Car Park at the Leisure Centre, Just turn off the High Street at the mini-roundabout next to the village hall.
Race is 95% on road, there is just one short section of about 500 metres of unmade track (dis-used railway line) at the start of the shorter lap (so you'll encounter it twice if you do the 21 miler). It is dry and well compacted, so you don't need to worry about footwear - just stick with your normal road shoes.
Am interested in knowing how many of us "locals" are either doing the Cranleigh 21 or if not Cranleigh this weekend, how many Surrey locals are doing the FLM?
BUT...
I'm from Kent..
Can't make it to the Cranleigh race this year, but will be at FLM. I'm in Bramley... is that Surrey local enough for you?
I'm doing Cranleigh, and doing FLM, but I live in Hampshire.
I'm doing Cranleigh, doing FLM and ... I live in Surrey.
Another wet and windy Sunday to look forward to ....
This is my first race of this kind of length and the first of any sort for more than a year - so kind of nervous. And the weather is a wee bit worrying. Let's hope the gales have gone by Sunday.

Dropping out of Kingston 16 due to a cold, yes I know that makes no sense but beleive me there is a method in my madness!!
