10k race entered

[ChrisAllen1]

Have just entered the Blyth 10k race on April 8th, think it will be a good experience plus hopefully will push me along a bit quicker than normal. Must find time at the weekends to do a couple of park runs before then as well. 😁🏃‍♂️

Way to go Chris 🏃 Good luck, I’m sure you’ll enjoy the experience 😊

I’ve got mine on Mar 3rd, I’m sure my brother will tow me round 🏃🏃

Mine promises to be a nice flat course!!!

Same here, back to where I did my Charity Santa 5k graduation run 😊🏃🏃

Races are great fun. Is there bling involved?

[TedG Graduate10 in reply to Irishprincess]

Finishers medal in my race 😊

Don't you get something nice for coming first?

[TedG Graduate10 in reply to pinkaardvark]

Good luck in the race. I have one booked in for the end of April, and as it's a 4 series affair I was considering booking another one of them for 3 weeks time. Now I have done 10k it kinda feels like I need to do a race, before the form evaporates lol.

Well done Chris - You will likely be quicker than you think on race day with all the other runners - good luck!

[ChrisAllen1 Graduate10]

Will try to get round in about 1 hour 8 mins but we will see!!!

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10]

Go you😊xx

Ooh well done! What type of course is it? You mentioned it's flat which is no bad thing

I need to get my act together and enrol in the Appia Run (13k) mid-April. I've been dithering because of my knee.

It's odd as there is the competitive 13k, and then the 13k and 4k fun runs. I am unsure as to what the difference is, in a practical sense, between the two 13k races (aside from having a "position" in the published results). I have to have a full medical to enter the competitive race but I am not sure if they require that for the 13k fun run.

Apparently this is the first year that there is bling for all finishers, but I am not sure if that includes the fun runs. If not it will be the decisive issue for me! (superficial I know...).

[ChrisAllen1 Graduate10 in reply to HeleneCorsa]

Bling sounds great, as does running The Appian Way, although Blyth will do for me!!!

[HeleneCorsa Graduate10 in reply to ChrisAllen1]

It'll be great! It's a lovely part of the world.
