Anyone else running?

Tankerton Thanetophile · April 2007

I'll be there - this is my local race

[Deleted User] · April 2007

A long overdue 10k debut for me...

Andy Stevens 3 · April 2007

Me too. This is looking quite good for Thanet Roadrunners representation !!

First time of doing this one. I believe it is quite a quick course ?

[Deleted User] · April 2007

I'll be there. My 2nd 10k. I assume I'm in as I have not yet heard anything form the organiser.

Cinders · April 2007

Be my first too Andy, it was already full last year.

Chestfield Bill · April 2007

I have applied for this one as it is my "local" too but not had a reply yet. A friend of mine, who is not a runner, told me that last year the runners spent most of the homeward leg leapfrogging over day trippers out for the Bank Holiday Monday.

Tankerton Thanetophile · April 2007

it is a quick course and if the weather is good, the promenade can get packed. last year's highlight was a runner without a number leading the race and then dropping out just before the end

[Deleted User] · April 2007

I think I will run this one too...I see Ashford did not put us off Becky!

[Deleted User] · April 2007

never miss it!

[Deleted User] · April 2007

Lorraine - cannot beleive you remebered mt. I thought this one had a suitable time gap for me to improve on my Ashford time. At Ashford I had only previously run a 10k distance the week before. Since then my long runs average 7-9 miles sometimes with hills as well. Hoping to be much better prepared to get under that hour!

[Deleted User] · April 2007

Becky boo there is only one hill in this one, more trouble with people on the narrow path to get to the prom. Last year I had trouble with an old lady in one of those motorised chariots driving from side to side.

Cinders · April 2007

Bobbyc, whereabouts is the hill?

[Deleted User] · April 2007

Well actually you go downhill from the start, round a couple of roads into chelsfield then through a caravan camp to the coast,then up coastguard cottages hill, this is off road and about 4k mark, then back onto the roads and then run back to the coast again, turn east ,have a drink and then run all the way back on the front,or close to it and finish on the front below where you started.The finish is hard to see,but it is where the crowd of people are standing around on the prom.I think the actual finish in just on the stoney beach.

[Deleted User] · April 2007

This is posh my name is on my race number(239)

[Deleted User] · April 2007

My local race, too, and my first 10k. Hoping for just under an hour...

[Deleted User] · April 2007

Well Rob,if you are a local you can have a practice so that you know what to expect even if you do not get the course exactly right but if you have your number you also have the route map

[Deleted User] · April 2007

Thanks for that, bobbyc. I'm having a trial run this Sunday. eek!

Cinders · April 2007

i ran it last sunday and the sewage works is a bit wiffy at the moment. also there's a high savage dog count in the swalecliffe area so watch out. didn't spot any nude bathers though

Andy Stevens 3 · April 2007

Sewage ? Savage dogs ? Lack of nude bathers ?

This clearly isn't going to be quite the fun I was expecting......

Cinders · April 2007

Surely the lack of nude bathers isn't necessarily a bad thing given the sights on the beach!!!

Tankerton Thanetophile · April 2007

not exactly copacabana is it although there'll be a high DFL count if the weather is good

[Deleted User] · April 2007

copacabana???? you wait till you see the size of the grains of sand no the beach!!
Cinders, people on the beach-- wow! there's novel for you. It's not Ramsgit you know.

[Deleted User] · April 2007

I'm #3

I'll accept that as my finishing position ;o)

[Deleted User] · April 2007

I'm no. 140. Ran the course this morning and loved it, tho the grass section could get a bit sloggish if wet...

Cinders · April 2007

You should be easy to spot then Cooks!

[Deleted User] · April 2007

I'm no 46

Tracey G · April 2007

Cinders

Good luck for Sunday.

Andy Stevens 3 · April 2007

Typical - tweaked my ankle on a long run yesterday so hoping that it clears itself before next Monday !

Can't remember my race number off the top of my head but hopefully you won't be seeing the limping Thanet Roadrunner during the race......

Cinders · April 2007

Ouch Andy!

Thanks Tracey :-)

Howdy, Stranger!
