Great News that the Scarlets will be at the finish line, that has absolutely made my day.
Da iawn iawn 8iron!
Dr S.
Hilly 10 miles today. Looking forward to race now.
Just got off phone to family who live in Pembroke and everybody down there is excited about the event.
3:15 my target time allowing for those hills. Now just got to try and take it easy this week.
Hi samruns, yes, the Golf club, which is where you pick up the race packs on the Saturday is 1 mile from Tenby in a village called Penally, if you are driving from Tenby you will see Kiln Park on your left hand side, you turn right at Kiln Park taking you towards Penally then you take the first right again and you will find Trefloyne Golf Club. On the race day itself though the race packs are collected from Tenby Rugby Club which isn't far from the start line, it is in Frog Street. 5 minute walk to the start.
Ahhhhh nooooo bionic border terrier that's rough, try not to worry though you've still enough time to shake it.
Your only option now is to rest, wrap up warm, dose up on as much medicine as you can stomach & eat plenty to fight it off. Hope you make it to the start line
the link to the race pack is in the email. but just turn up, name address and register!! no worries.
I'm down on Fri morning 8iron, can i register at the expo on Fri or do i need to wait until Sat to register for the marathon? No worries either way, but just wondered.
Thanks for your help.
Hello
Just a quick question, it says on the email that there are two finishes the half marathon runners can take? regardless of which finish is taken do they both still add to the 13.1 miles?
Thanks
matt - yes you can register for the marathon on friday from 12 at Trefloyne. IM Wales Press launch at 12 too at the same place!!
Peacey - technically you are right but its the same finish you just take a different route at the end. This wil be explained at race briefing and its well signposted. But here is how it is: FUN OR DONE are the 2 options. Basically as the marathon runners run around castle hill, which is stunning and takes in the lifeboat, bandstand etc we did not want the half runners to miss out. So if you are not running for a time and have something left you can set off around castle hill. If you are DONE so to speak you simply cross the finish line for your 13.1 miles and official time.
8iron, where is the official 13.1 finish line for the half marathon?
8iron, ignore my post above, can see from your response to peacey that the finish is the same place as marathon runners in Tudor Square! sorry, blind as a bat
Talk about a small world!
I manage Croft Court!
8iron what are the figures at the moment for both the 1/2 and full. Not long left now people.
Wow Long range forcast says sunny spells light northerly wind and 14deg. Even runners can't moan about that........fingers crossed.
Anybody know which way round the course goes? Manorbier/FreshEast on way out or way back?
Are there going to be mile markers along the route?
