I dont know how this works but...... Anyone fancy meeting up at the London landmark 10k? July 14th xx

I don't know if its the done thing posting a meet up request but thought it could be fun x

[gdeann Graduate]

We would be in, if we didn't live in the States! A bit far for us to drive. Gayle

Hehe, I'll do it with u in mind, you'll be with us in heart x

[OlsBean]

Sadly a little far for me also.

[Souki Graduate in reply to OlsBean]

Oh that's a shame holiday inn? Little break!

[OlsBean in reply to Souki]

That would be cool, just the wrong time really.

What a great Idea! I better reach the 5k mark in sunny Yorkshire first though. Hope it works though

[Souki Graduate in reply to HappyRunningFi]

Haha, I've only just managed 5k but good to ave a goal x

[Sofa-sloth in reply to HappyRunningFi]

Sunny yorkshire!!!! i need to move to your part of Yorkshire lol

[Anniemurph Graduate]

I think it's a great idea to post and see if others are around or want to join in. Sadly I won't be able to because that's the day of my Run For Life in Hyde Park, so although I'll be in the right area I'll be busy (Also I can't run 10k, but y'know, I could have tried!)

[Souki Graduate in reply to Anniemurph]

Oh what a shame, 2 events happening in London on the same day!! Maybe if enough people want to do it we could still meet in the middle for a coffee x

[Anniemurph Graduate in reply to Souki]

That's a good idea! What time is the 10k, and where? I think I have to be in Hyde Park at 10am. It would be lovely to meet other c25k-ers in person!

[Souki Graduate in reply to Anniemurph]

Starting on Piccadilly outside The Guards & Calvary Club, runners will pass the new WW2 Bomber Command Memorial which was unveiled by HM Queen Elizabeth 11 in June 2012, two weeks prior to The British 10k London Run in Diamond Jubilee Olympic year with Wellington Arch at Hyde Park Corner as backdrop.

Runners will pass The Ritz, St. James's Palace, Trafalgar Square, the magnificent St. Paul's Cathedral, the unique London Eye, the worlds most famous clock Big Ben, the British Houses of Parliament, the historic Westminster Abbey before finishing on Whitehall (the portal of British Government) at the junction of Royal Horse Guards and Banqueting House after passing Downing Street (the official London residence of British Prime Ministers) and The Cenotaph, the national memorial to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

Starts at 9.35 am. Ill prop stay in London on the night before as I'm in bucks x

[Anniemurph Graduate in reply to Souki]

Coffee after everything is over sounds like the way to go, then! I'll be staying over the night before too - not sure where yet though. Exciting!

[Souki Graduate in reply to Anniemurph]

Local holiday inn £30 odd a night maybe will have to look into it x

[boudicca Graduate]

I won't be doing either run! But I'm in London and coffee for Bastille day sounds like a lovely idea.

[Souki Graduate]

Great x

[rosn123 Graduate]

I'm in London but not sure I'm up for a proper 10k yet. Have my first 5k next Saturday and still having hip problems. Will see how I go though. A meet up for coffee afterwards sounds good.

[Souki Graduate in reply to rosn123]

Great, I'm sure it wouldn't matter if we run some walk some, I've only just done 5k myself so in being a little pre x

[rosn123 Graduate in reply to Souki]

Hmmmm... Having a proper look at the website and it's tempting. £50 to enter though - is that right?

[Souki Graduate in reply to rosn123]

Yes looks like it but a fun thing to do I think something ill long remember x

[Vitty Graduate]

I'm running in the 10k for a charity who are planning an event afterwards so meeting up might be tricky. Good luck with the run & the training.
