Seems a pretty high price for a 10k race although as you're only down the road, I'm tempted to come along just to shake Fauja Singh's hand and congratulate him on his achievements!
Official T-shirt is optional to buy
I am in and hoping to recover some form from last year since my first born arrived in December....usually prepping for a spring marathon at this stage of the calendar and the first time in 4 years..but the little one has meant scaling back on spare time for training....
...now just got to get the 10k legs back and running....
also nice to have a 'local' event to enter...well local to E17....
3 weeks to go - everyones training going ok?
Not done this before - any advise on parking on the day?
Side roads around west ham park have pay parking bays
this is one of those feel good factor races - i've done 'em all since the 1st one lauched at the back of the Showcase Cinema. someone asked if this takes in the Olympic Park - in previous years the race took you up to the basin of the stadium, i must admit the route got a little narrow and precarious and i paid more attention to my footfall over the emerging stadium. that said the workmen on site were full of support and encouragement - it's the one time you'd welcome litany from the builders, aye!
i found the route well thought out (if it takes in the Olympic Park this year, it will be less work-site than in previous years), and marshalled.
other points: in previous years, there was entry on the day - check the website if the same is happening this year. do not mistake STRATFORD park for WEST HAM park, there is planned engineering works on the District Line and road closures for those coming by bus or car.
be sure to say hello to Tessa Sanderson MBE and Sharon Davies CBE, who will gladly shake your hand and pose for pictures - true ambassadors for UK sports.
happy racing!
I'm in for this.
I'm aiming for 37 mins. Thankfully only a few stops on the London Overground for me.
any news when packs are arriving??
...so weird doing a 10k when have been in marathon mode for past 4 years at this time of year, but becoming a father recently means I'm allowed to prep for shorter distance only....will be good to get race pins on again...
FANTASTIC!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I'M SO APPRECIATIVE!! Just registered!!! ...and sent to my friends to register ASAP!! Cannot thank you enough and REALLY looking forward to this!!!
Managed to beat my PB by 30 seconds which was nice as I wasn't really racing for a PB but am a bit gutted if I got all excited for no reason!
Thought it was ok. I mean there should not be an issue with distance in these races. You've to get it right otherwise the event become a bit of a joke. My garmin clocked at 9.6km and there were a lot of annoyed faces at the end and rightly so.
I did the Brighton Half in February and that was too long and they had to restate everyones time.
Based on the distance mess up I would not do this event again.
