Its my 10th wedding aniversary next year, 28th Jan...and I'm looking to treat my wife to a weekend away. She's suggested St Lucia (where we got married), but I'm thinking of something slightly less exotic (i.e. this country). As we both run I thought you lot may have some ideas.
Does anyone know of a decent race (anything from 10k to half-marathon) that will give us something to do togerther and remember on Sat 26th Jan or Sun 27th?
Ideally it will be in near a decent city for a good night out and a bit of sight-seeing.
I'm open to any ideas...mad or not.
Go on - suprise me! (And her)

well done for getting to nearly 10 years
sorry did a google but cold not find any runs !
Ah, but St Lucia wouldn't have the memories of a rainy run...the togetherness, the satisfaction of finishing, the biting cold etc etc.
Thanks for looking anyway...I've actually just realised my dates are wrong -
it's actually the weekend of the 31st Jan or 1st Feb
Not a very good start really!
my 10th wedding anniversary next year - if credit crunch stays the same it might be blackpool and not the italian lakes for us !
Perfect answer:
The Almeria Half Marathon, southern Spain. Sun Feb 1st 09. They also do a 10K at the same time.
We've been going every year for 5 years now. Incredibly cheap, great value, nice course, much of it along the seafront, plus loads of good apres-race entertainment. Flights and hotel are cheap as it's low season.
Drop me a line if you want more info. You are welcome to team up with us or do your own thing.
