Hello lovely Bridge to 10k VRBs.
I'm popping over here from our sister forum, Fun Beyond 10k and Race support, to let you know of a virtual event we are running. We've run severalof these events over the last few years; some of you will be familiar with the format already - for those who aren't all the details can be found below.
⭐📢📢We'd love you to join us for the HU10 - spring 24 📢📢⭐
In short we invite our VRBs to cover a given distance, running or walking, wherever they choose! We nominate a date for the event, share our training, run our run (or walk our walk) and then look forward to reading all the 'race' reports. If you're able to set off at the nominated date and time, you have the added boost of knowing we are all on the virtual HU start line together - running on our own, but definitely not alone.
⭐ Distance: this time you will have the option of 10k or 10 miles (or both!)
⭐ Main event date: Sunday 19th May at 9:30am (however, as always, we realise the date/time might not work for everyone; so in order to give greater flexibility we will accept runs/runwalks/walks at any time on Sunday 19th May, or at any point during the following week of Monday 20th to Sunday 26th May). By my calculations, that gives us 8 weeks to train (although I may still be walking as injury currently stops play)!!!
⭐ How does it work: in the past we have set up a music playlist (based on your suggestions), we have put together a 'run experience' using the RunGo app and we have even made race bibs available (so long as you have a printer at home!). You run, run/walk or walk your chosen distance, wherever you like, on a day that suits you.
⭐ Finally, we will of course have a winner! In the past, the winner has been the person who completed their run in the time closest to our randomly generated time (after the event closes). Maybe you have a more creative suggestion - but however we choose our winner, we will ensure there is absolutely no requirement to run fast to win this event! 🐌🏆
Do let us know if you have a more creative suggestion!
⭐ We hope you’ll be eager to join in (and help make this another great one)
This event is of course entirely free to enter and yet again, there are no t-shirts, medals, socks, aid stations or toilet queues! No training plans or routes will be supplied! Instead, a unique HU experience, run your way 😍
If you're currently running around 5k, this may encourage you to push to 10k. If you're running at 10k, perhaps it will give you the boost to get to the magic 10 miles. If you're running beyond, perhaps you can use it as one of your speed runs! If ... well, you can use your imagination 😍
We'd love to have you along. Let us know if you'd like to join us at the startline in the comments below and we will add you to the start list which can be viewed here docs.google.com/spreadsheet...
From your Fun Beyond 10k and race support team - Irishprincess , Beachcomber66 and me, Linda9389 😊
