COGH - Getting close to the finish line

[Charlies1]

We are now about 1 week away from the finish line, and there have been a few discussions about how best to to complete the event. It has been a group effort to get here, and we are keen to finish in the same way. The plan is as follows:

- we will continue as we have been until we get to the COGH museum symbol in the map above, which is 5km from the finish line.

- everyone should keep logging their runs and walks so that we get to the museum (don’t worry about over-running the museum).

We will all run the last 5km from the museum to the finish line together over the bank holiday weekend (29/30/31 May)

- I will set up the system to recognise a 5km run or walk over that weekend as part of the final group run

We would like everyone to take a photo or selfie on the final run (in COGH t-shirts if you have one) & post in response to Sue’s post:

Almost there, keep on running!

Great plan! Thank you

👏🏼🎉👏🏼

[Neverhare]

Fantastic! A much earlier finish than anticipated

[Cowladyrunning Graduate10]

Great idea! Thank you for all you put into the challenge it has been brilliant 😊

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

Great plan Charles1, so as well as being my 50th (not)parkrun, this Saturday morning will be my last 5K run on COGH.

[Charlies1 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Perfect!

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Brilliant, a group finish. I will be in my 50 parkrun shirt but will certainly log the 5k Charlie.

[Cmoi Graduate10]

That's amazing, thanks so much to you Charlies1 and all the admin team.

Really stupid question: will the system recognise a run or walk of more than 5k dated 29th, 30th or 31st May?

[Charlies1 Graduate10]

I haven't set it up yet - so don't know the answer to that! I think I will be able to set it to allow longer runs - so you can enter the correct distance that you have run or walked. I will confirm before the weekend.

[Cmoi Graduate10 in reply to Charlies1]

Thanks Charlies1 . If you can't, no worries, it's my problem, not yours!

[Irish-John Graduate10]

Brilliant! 👍🏻

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

Fantastic idea and really inclusive.

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

This sounds brilliant Charlies1!

[HevvyH Graduate10]

Looking forward to crossing the finish line but sad that it is the end of this great inspirational journey . 😌

Many thanks Charlies1 and team for setting this up and all the fantastic research 🙏🤗

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

What a great idea to finish and thank you for organising this and keeping the updates coming

[lexi6 Graduate10]

Thats a wonderful idea C1 and thanks again to you and everyone involved in organising this its been so much fun and has greatly improved my geography and general knowledge for our quiz’s 😊

[LottieMW Ambassador]

Brilliant! Thanks to everyone for all their hard work 🙌🏼

I think there’s quite a few of us running the Vitality 10K over the weekend...hence the distance question maybe?

[Charlies1 Graduate10 in reply to LottieMW]

Ah, in that case, I’ll arrange for 5 & 10km as part of the group run. Thanks for letting me know.

[LottieMW Ambassador in reply to Charlies1]

👍🥰

[Kat332zz Graduate10]

Thanks for setting this up, it’s been wonderful. Thanks to all the contributors too and all the runners/walkers. It’ll be great to do the last 5k as a group.

[Kipperrun Graduate10]

This is great. I’ve really enjoyed being part of this wonderful venture. Thanks.

[JaySeeSkinny Graduate10]

I’m also looking forward to our grand finale! But I’ll be a bit lost once it’s over.

[SmilingTortoise1]

Sounds a great plan. Thank you so much to everyone involved in organising this event 🤩

[Archerygoddess 60minGraduate]

That sounds brilliant. I will take my running shoes with me this weekend (and my t-shirt).

[aliboo70 Graduate10]

That sounds good! Great organisational skills thankyou! 😃x

[Smile23 Graduate10]

That sounds fab.

A group finish just how it should be 😁thanks for organising this.

Kudos to Charlies1 and the admin team x

[Rennur Graduate10]

Good idea - It may be a part walk/run as I am in Devon this weekend and it will be my hilliest/most hilly run ever.

[Charlies1 Graduate10 in reply to Rennur]

Perfect, Im sure that Devon and Cornwall is UKs equivalent of COGH & the terrain is probably similar too!

[Rennur Graduate10]

I will have to get that t Shirt.

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10]

I am in..🤞xxx
