Sarah - Ideal for all abilities and newbies. Lots of encouraging marshals and very friendly supporters.
SLL - I'm an experienced runner and also run very very slowly! I know there are a few other people using this race as their first 10K and will be running a bit/walking a bit.
It will be a great race for beginners, the marshalls and local clubs are really supportive of everyone who is out there having a go! You won't be on your own - chances are i'll be behind you!
You'll be fine SLL - once you've done one race you'll love it!
I do loads of races, am always near the back but that's where you get the biggest cheers!
nah, i'm more like 11min miling now and I will definately end up walking some of it...I know there are some women from a local running club who have never raced before and do 13/14min miling. I think they are also using this race as a first challenge.
Honestly, you'll be fine and you'll love it!
Ploddinglady - thanks for your entry.
SLL did you send in your entry?
I'm expecting the race to be a record entry!
SLL - You cannot enter as a team unless you're a affiliated club but for fun i can put you down as a team on the results sheet.
In this case you would be better to complete 3 entry forms and put them in the same envelope with a cheque and state your team name.
If you do it online just let me know the names of the people in your team.
SLL - The running community are very friendly people and everyone is made to feel welcome.
You'll love it!
Runners world online entries close over the next couple of days.
