Me, UpTheStanley , Oldgirlruns , cheekychipmunks , and Wimborne are doing it as well, having signed up for the real race in May. I think there may be a few posts on the forum that week.

I’ve never ran a race before and I am not too worried about time. Saying that a new PB would be nice πŸ˜‰ Route already decided, canal paths included 😊 And we shall all be there together in spirit. Just need to know how we should record it on the day. I’m currently on Garmin .coach plan, but that can go on pause.

My husband picked up the post today, looked at the envelope and said, "Have you entered the London Marathon?" I explained that no, it was just a 10k. But also my first proper bib - and it even comes with safety pins :)

Sonia52Graduate10 in reply to Blackberrypie

I was very impressed by the safety pins too!

Ooh - I also signed up but not had any post yet !! Maybe tomorrow ! I’m planning to run on 1st nov (last day possible !!) to give me time to train - only up to 9k so far !! Didn’t realise there was a bib!! I signed up to fundraise for Pancreatic Cancer UK too and they sent me a T-shirt and I haven’t raised a penny yet !! (Don’t worry I’m not asking you all !). My brother in law also signed up - I expect to get the donation from him πŸ˜‚

Sonia52 profile image
Sonia52Graduate10 in reply to Juliet202

They send the bibs out if you applied before a certain date otherwise they will email something to print out yourself. I’m not sure what day to run yet. maybe on my birthday the 28th!! πŸ˜€ I have the week off work so... 😁And good luck with the fundraising!! And 10k really isn’t much more than 9 ;)

My bib arrived yesterday. Just need to find a route and decide on a day. What day are others thinking of?

I'm just not sure about how to record it and do we have to submit evidence. I need to look it up.

Sonia52 profile image
Sonia52Graduate10 in reply to EThomas

I am sure they said they will get in touch nearer the time as into how. Maybe an app like the Marathon?

PandaCory profile image
PandaCoryGraduate10 in reply to EThomas

I normally use Strava for things like this & just take a screenshot of the final mileage. It seems to be acceptable.
