Items should be market with: name, race number & support group number.
Location of Support area
With approx 40,000 runners it is almost impossible to pick out individuals as they pass, therefore its important you know where to spot us.
The support area is on the right hand side of the road at the pelican crossing by mudchute DLR station. There is a water station immediately after the 17 mile point, pelican crossing is immediately after the water station. I will post a close of google map/google earth image of the area with exact location shortly.
Supporters will be standing in sequential group order along the course. The area will be festooned with blue and yellow balloons so should be easy to spot, there will also be a large '100 yards to RW Supporters' sign hung up. When you get to us, look out for the support group numbers and go over to you're respective group.Please use this thread to ask any questions and look out for further information which will be posted up until the race. Any final instructions will be posted Sunday 19th April.Good luck everyone..

Hi everyone - here's my info
Forum name: way2slow
Name (suggest you email this if unhappy to divulge via the forum): Rachael
Race number: will add on later
Estimated time to mile 17: somewhere between 2hrs15 and 2hrs35
What you'll be wearing: black shorts / 3/4s and desford striders vest (blue with red writing)
Any special needs*: high 5 gels (preferably with plenty of caffeine in) and a good kick up the backside if running closer to 2:35
BB - I'm sure you dont need a complete amateur/flm virgin like me to mess up all your hard work and lists, but could I please go in Lady Sue's group (5?) as she's the only on who'll know me - I'm quite small/insignificant, so easily missed.
Really appreciate all the work you lovely supporters will be doing on the day (quaffing champers included) (Scrape scrape!)
Forum name : JWrun
Name: Jo (a girl not a boy!)
Race number 42843
Estimated time to mile 17; i'm going to say 3 hours to be safe but hopefully more like 2.45
What you'll be wearing; black 3/4 length trousers, white t-shirt and a dark green PSP Association (charity) vest, oh and black glasses.
Any special needs*; thinking perhaps of a mars bar or something like that, will drop off at the expo with some supplies for all to use (as requested - jelly babies, jaffa cakes etc).
So looking forward to it, will need a big encouraging cheer of "GO JO" at this stage
Is great that you guys are doing this, i'm looking forward to seeing some faces behind the names - although hopefully i won't be hanging round for long!
Good to see Rob in this group - I doubt you'll miss him! !
Cheers

I am back from the wilds of Manchester
I will try and make notes of who wants what. I will be at the expo on Saturday if anyone needs anything picking up then.
I am glad to be supporting this year and I will be leaving the Little Miss costume with the charity for some other poor soul to wear this year.
Thanks Rio - maybe the Little Miss costume would help us pick you out in the crowd!!! Just lots of cheers and encouragement for me please. I think you are all doing a great job and maybe one year when I'm not running I will return the favour.
