I'm hoping to join in on Boxing Day. The race is on, coz there were some entry forms available at the Viccy Park race in Bath recently but by the time I thought about it they'd been picked up and taken away again.
With luck there'll be some available at my running club so I'll have a look on Tuesday evening and if there are I'll post the details on here.

Nite . .
Good course! Nice big, bumpy hill, cool sea air! Lovely!!!
Where are you all from? All local to Clevedon?
Might be quite a collection of forumites by the look of things . . .
I'm reasonably local, living in central Bristol, so won't have to get up too early to get there in time for kick off.
Haven't run Clevedon since 1990. Doubt if I'll get under 25 minutes again!! In fact I'll be lucky to get under 30, with all that Christmas pud rollin' around inside me tum!!
Seems I am the only sad member of Team Realrunner.com Never mind,can I join the Unofficial Team forumites?
Thanks for all the info. re. Clevedon races.Meant to do it last year but illness got in the way.Will definitely run this year,health and xmas pudding permitting.Looking forward to some bracing sea air and a big hill!
Very impressed with sub-25 mins Rich,I was hoping for a modest 28,but if the hill is that big.....However,I am having my rotten tooth extracted on Monday(Youch),so by December 26th I will be ZOOMING, cos I'm sure that nasty old tooth has been slowing me down recently.
See you at Clevedon forumites.Going to suss out a few big hills here in the bracing sea air of Penarth!

Small-ish world.
Born, brought up in Radcliffe on Trent lived in Clevedon until about 16 years ago, trained for my first marathon round there but don't remember ever getting up the hill - went fro the flat bit out to Nailsea etc.
Shan't be there to run with you all but hope you enjoy it, it holds fond memories.
Good fun course though and faster than it looks. Ian Gillespie ran 18 mins something the year I did it, which is fantastically quick whichever way you look at it. Mind you, the following summer he ran an 3.39 1500m and a 13.18 5000m....
I've scanned it in and dropped it into a Word document so if you'd like a copy e-mail me and I'll reply with the form attached.
Not sure how well it'll print but it should be fine. If not I'll revert to plan B.
Bitton road runners will there !
The message told me that your in tray is full and there's no room - see if you can empty it, let me know and I'll have another bash at it . . .
The start and finish are at the Salthouse Fields in Clevedon. There are no changing facilities.
I found an entry form last night, I've scanned it in and put it in a word document. If you e-mail me I'll e-mail the form back to you.
I'm off to find a big,bumpy hill to get in some practice forumites!See you all at Clevedon

I'll pop one in the post tomorrow Pin. Must remember to keep a copy for myself!
I've added the race to the list of races on the URWFRC web site (http://www.urwfrc.org/index.html) - so get on there guys and add your names, numbers when you get them and estimated times.
G'luck with the training.
One thing to remember about hills,what goes up must come down !Keep training,

See you then!
