PROVISIONAL Helphire Bath Half-Marathon

Moe · September 2004

Suggested Grizzly tounge in cheek but if you really want to...............

Grizzly

Doesn't say anything on the website about being full (not that it may not be) but the organisers do allow number transfer (up to and on the day), if you know anyone that pulls out.

Same day as Bath last time, same gruesome weather still well organised, twice as much fun!

Thaks jwib and M will look at FOD think Grizzly bit beyond me at moment but maybe next year...

[Deleted User] · September 2004

I've just received my priority entry, and will be signing up. I know they had a lot of problems last year, but hopefully they will have sorted things out this time.....?
I've done Bath twice and had a PB both times, and it's local for me.
Now all I need to do is to get into FLM.

Moe · September 2004

.......... they also had problems the year before last..............

[Deleted User] · September 2004

Think am going to try Forest of Dean... anyone else?

musketeer · September 2004

got my priority email at last.
Trin if you are out there any more info on the Hogweed Hilly Half?

old father tim · September 2004

Jeckmac - Forest of Dean for me

Will give Bath a miss in 2005

[Deleted User] · September 2004

Hey oft hope to see you there!Have started a FOD thread...

[Deleted User] · September 2004

BD....will BB be joining you in this one?

[Deleted User] · October 2004

musketeer - HHH - final decision next week, I am told.

[Deleted User] · October 2004

Bodjit - She's thinking of Bath or Reading at the moment. I think she's caught the bug - she's even thinking of training this time!
In any case, I'm sure she'll come along and support in her usual quiet way.
How about you?

[Deleted User] · October 2004

Just popped in here and now you mention the Forest of Dean, I just might be tempted. See you in the FOD thread

[Deleted User] · October 2004

Just entered this - was a bit chaotic last year but I enjoyed my weekend in Bath so going to head back for another go.

Hopefully I won't be running with a cold this time and can have a crack at a PB.

may be bringing my little Cardiff possee with me - I'll work on them over the weekend!

[Deleted User] · October 2004

I don't mean to butt in but reading through this thread I see that some are looking for an alternative race, so just to let you know that the 'Hogweed Hilly Half' is on the same day up the road in Chipping Sodbury, near Bristol. Entry forms will be available within the next few weeks

[Deleted User] · October 2004

"Boycott Barf! - Do the Hogweed Hilly Half"

How's that for a slogan?

[Deleted User] · October 2004

ooh controversial RD

[Deleted User] · October 2004

I'm feeling a bit controversial today! I don't care!

[Deleted User] · October 2004

oh and Wrinty .. any news on the Bromham 10k??

Wrinty · October 2004

Bromham 10K - provisional date set for 19th December, which will make the Xmas puddings all that more important.
I have an AVR committee meeting tonight and hopefully will be able to push out a bit more info - like entry forms.

[Deleted User] · October 2004

That is fantastic news. It's such a smashing race. The three of us on the Bath list will definitely be entering!!

Cheers Wrinty!!

[Deleted User] · October 2004

I'm pinching myself because I can hardly believe I've done this but, yes, I've signed up for next years race.

[Deleted User] · October 2004

I'm doing it. First half for me, but with encouragement from several club members, who have also signed up, I thought I might as well enter a bigun, then I've an excuse for crappy time!!

Blisters · October 2004

If you ran last year and haven't received a priority email notification, then you can email the organisers. They responded same day with a password (tempted to give it away, 8 letters) and a 4 digit pin number.

Previous year was a fantastic event, especially for support. I bet that there wasn't a steel band or a bagpiper at the windy, ex-Formula 1 circuit in Northamptonshire.

Currently it is 40% full, but that is increasing. It's not got the flattest of final miles (!), however, I managed to take 4 minutes off my pb and smash it down to 1:28 this year. I'm in.
