It does sadden me that Manchester can attract 35,000 people and an amazing elite field whilst charging (what I feel to be) an huge amount for a 10K but all credit to them for delivering what appears to be a fantastically well supported and well run race day.
Its only down the road - so why couldn't Liverpool deliver something just as good? I would argue it has the better vista with the waterfront and the people are brilliant!
Something to aim for, I guess....
Liverpool HM was much more scenic than the Manchester 10k - obviously its twice the distance but they didn't make any effort to take us through parks or anything - just road, road, raod and it was far too expensive.
Louise is looking for a bit of guidance!! I've just had a request from a young lady who is partially sighted as she is looking for someone to run the race with her.
She will do it in about an hour or so and would appreciate a guide for the day!
If anyone is interested please contact me on my usual email address.
Alan, we had 250 runners which is one of our best turnouts for the event,Liverpool running club do really appreciate your gesture of handing out the goody bags and they did go down very well with the finishers.
i also had a decent run and finished 1st male vet 40.
Never know why people worry about numbers. We always sort out any that don't arrive (due to the quality of Postal service!!) They have all been sent out and you will receive in good time.
Any luck with finding a helper for your partially sighted lady, Alan?
I was hoping to run a PB, but if you can't find anyone else I wouldn't mind helping out; there are other 10K races I can race hard in. Just let me know if no one else volunteers
Frodo - very kind of you to offer. I have one other offer at the moment and have contacted Louise. If it doesn't come off I'll get back to you straight away.

Liverpool Harriers first summer 5k had 112 entries a couple of weeks ago,only the second time they've had over 100,it could take off this running lark!
Managed to shave 14 seconds off my PB at Walton,and that was after a four-day bender,I reckon I must've been fully carb loaded!!
And in a bout of being well and truly organised, just got my Liverpool 10k registration in as well...blimey, the early bird...now where's my santa dash app!

Did get a PB of 57.40 though
Now I know why my time was so bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looking forward to being quicker through the tunnel
I agree it wasnt very nice running past Old Trafford, I picked up my pace as I did just so I could get past it quicker!!!
Looking forward to being back in Liverpool on the 30th and hopefully getting a pb
Kerry
LOL!
Don't you like your clothes to smell nice and fresh then? Or does poor Yvonne do EVERYTHING for you?
Alan
Frodo - your number will arrive.
My race number has arrived
Number 409 - I must have entered back in 2008 to get such a low one ?? !!
Happy Days
I have had a week off running due to doing 2 races in 1 week (1 x 9 mile and 1 x 10K) so felt I deserved a break
Now my pack has arrived I suddenly realise we have 2 weeks to go and ahhhhh........ I need to get back out and train - Yipeee
Don't you feel the difference when youre not running - slow, lethargic, lazy & fat - legs twitching - need to get out
She will do it in about an hour or so and would appreciate a guide for the day!

I'll give a free entry to anyone wishing to do it.
Alan
I absolutely WOULD do it if I were fit.
I hope you find someone Alan.
Still no sign of my number or my GF's.
Starting to worry as cheques cashed weeks ago
