[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

You must be very very happy about knowing you will be running in the Great North Run in September, very chuffed indeed Chris. 😊 🏃. Roll on Sunday 8 September.

[misswobble Graduate10]

Yay, well done 😃👍🏃‍♂️🏅

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10]

Great news Chris...you have a target now to beat from last year! 😉😊xxx

[TedG Graduate10]

Well done Chris, I’m pleased for you mate 🤗

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Yay Chris, you will have to wear something outlandish so we can spot you on the 📺. Mmm maybe not, go for an easier option. That’s an HM isn’t it? 🏃‍♂️👏👏

[ChrisAllen1 Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

It is and I'm definitely not dressing as a Rhinoceros 😂😂

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Great news Chris! 🙌🙌🙌

[Colinsmith]

Congratulations Chris, me too! I applied on a whim, not expecting to get in. I’m chuffed too, but wonder if my wife might be a bit less chuffed...

[ChrisAllen1 Graduate10 in reply to Colinsmith]

Well done Colin, what time are you hoping for?

[Colinsmith in reply to ChrisAllen1]

I’ve got my first half this Sunday, so not sure what my race pace over HM is yet! I’m about 1h55m in training, but early September could be very warm.

I’m an exile from the North East so I’ve always had an eye on doing the GNR but really didn’t expect to get in first time of asking! I think it might have been your post that tipped me off about the ballot, so cheers for that.

[ChrisAllen1 Graduate10 in reply to Colinsmith]

No problem, you are running at a very good pace there as well.

[Colinsmith in reply to ChrisAllen1]

Cheers Chris. I think I'm more built for shorter distances than stamina, but I'm trying to rectify that. I'd like to get a full marathon done before my next significant birthday! Maybe next year.

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Colinsmith]

Well done to you too Colin 🏃‍♂️👏

[Tasha99 Graduate10]

I’m not in! Im over the moon as don’t fancy it at all (too busy) but will enter the ballots to do it once. You have fun though 👍🏽

[roseabi]

I was going to do the 5k on the Saturday but forgot and have booked a holiday. Gutted. Will now do it next year.

The Saturday is a great day out on the quay side.

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10]

Rather you than me. Congratulations. Let us know how you do 😀

[Wimborne]

[ChrisAllen1 Graduate10 in reply to Wimborne]
