Hi - looking forward to doing my Race for Life tomorrow - only managed to get to then end of week 6 of Couch to 5k so far due to injury but I'm hopeful!! Does anyone know if they record your time at Race for Life or do I need to locate a watch?!

Thanks

Hi js, I did one 3 weeks ago, no they dont record your time, so best take your watch. There is a clock at the finishing line, but it doesnt record time.

Have a brilliant time, its an amazing thing to do and I am sure you will love it.

Good Luck ! :-) xxx

I agree with poppypug there is a time at the end but I don't know if it starts with 1st or last runner! So take your watch or how you normally record and enjoy!

Hi yes the finish line has a digital clock above it so you see your time as you cross it. Good luck!! :)

Just got in -I did it in 32 mins! I had to walk for about 30 seconds as it was so hot!! I'm really pleased as I lost about 7 weeks training due to an ankle injury so I'd only made it to the end of week 6. So glad I took my watch though as the digital clock they had wasn't working!!

Brilliant! Congratulations!
