Is this race meant to be totally exclusive to Londoners? I only live down the road (on the Coast!!) but enter quite a few races in the London area. I only ever hear about this after it is full. When I saw the article about this year's event in the new Runners World mag I really thought I had a chance. Went into the website immediately but its already full unless I go to lots of the training runs and get lucky in a draw. I don't mind travelling to London for a race but not to train! I never had this problem with the Women's London or the Carlton until the latter killed off the former!!

Did anyone else get in, as Im starting to wonder?
If so, then just looks too busy. Your pace will just get dictated by the congestion.
And stray Mr Men in front of you of course.
cheers!
Anyone seen the ad on TV for it, the chicken and egg thing? Quite funny, but heaven help anyone who looks like the chicken!

As to doing the Britsh 10km instead, I did this one too and it is not a touch on the Nike event.
If you can make it to the training runs do, I did two a week last year and found them very imformative (you get to trial their gear) and started me off on the right note as to training (see above re: FLM!).
Finally - do we need another masss participation event? why not? Surely we should be encouraging people to participate in our sport. Besides, the more people that run and want to race must lead eventually to more races which must be good for everyone.
It's great that mass participation races like this exist, but I hope this year's event is better organised than last year. I'm afraid it ranks near the bottom of the races I've done.
Any advice on getting there would be great.
The womens 10k was a great run why did they stop doing this one ???
Saying all that, the park is a fantastic place for a run, and our club is lucky enough to have regular use of it. Well worth a visit!
I have to say that I am enjoying the training which has given me confidence to run the race itself.
This is definitley a stepping stone for me to enter into other local races and of course the ultimate race, the London Marathon 2003.
To all you runners who have gotten through good luck and I will see you there.
