I have a 10K on the 8th of September in Stratford upon Avon
No parkruns though, please! As we all know, parkrun "is not a race" 😄
If I put it on here will I have to do it?
I entered the Great South Run on the understanding that if it’s gale force winds or pouring rain I won’t do it! It was bad enough cheering people on in those conditions. It’s on 20 October. I will joined by others but will let them respond individually. 🏃♂️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♂️🏃♀️
I'd take pouring rain over last year's unexpected heat Dexy!!!
I’m doing the 10k at Barry Island this Sunday (4th August). I am so not ready, I need all the support I can get!! My sister and I are running this together (well, we’ll start together then hopefully we’ll find each other again at the end!) in the day that would have been our mum’s birthday if she was still with us. If Mum can actually see us she will be confused but proud I am sure, since we were both very overweight and unfit last time she saw us!
What a special event for you and your sister! Please do let us know all about it.
Oxford Half Marathon on 13th October 
I'm doing a 10km in York on Sunday 4 August - part of the Asda/Jane Tomlinson charity trust - part of my training for the Great East run (half marathon) on 22 September!! Not sure I am ready for either but am going to try. xx
Hi, I've signed up for the London Poppy Run on 26 October:
britishlegion.org.uk/get-in...
It's the day before the Croydon 10K which I'm also signed up for, so I didn't plan that particularly well!
Ha ha, so the Croydon 10k gets the most effort?
Well I’ve got the Cardiff HM on the 6th October. We are away for two weeks plus 8-22 Sept in Budapest, Vienna, Prague and Berlin. Anyone know some safe runs for me on my own in theses cities, so I don’t loose all momentum?? Thanks Candy
Gotcha! HoagyM is also running 😊😊😊
It might be worth making a separate post to ask about the city runs, although I'm not promising anything 😊 Also, have a read of this article - it's a bit old, but could be helpful!
October 27, 2019 10km 11th International 10k Zeytinburnu Istanbul. (All being well!)
Wow! Looking forward to reading your report!!!
Is it this one? zeytinburnucumhuriyetkosusu...
Hey Jonno how did you get on in Nicosia in June
Really good. Only entered the 5k as it is always hotter over there and finished midfield. Was caught in a bottlneck at the start and for the first K there were people passing me, then they all ran out of puff! From 2k to the end I passed 3 times what passed me and felt like I had gas in the tank at the end. Several events coming up if you want to join me!
Well done, I did think of you as I was going home! I’m coming along quietly here, slow but steady. I’m trying to complete my 60 minutes. My time for 5 k is around 43 to 45 minutes, so very slow but that’s including a big hill! It’s all hills here on the west coast. Back in Cyprus mid September. Keep on running!
Runs in nic on 7th Sept and 13 October
Kew Gardens 10K on 14/9 and then Royal Parks Half Marathon on 13/10
Also I’ve organised my own ‘Beach Hut 10k’ locally to raise money for my HM fundraising. That’s on 22/9 😜
Good luck everyone else entered on here 😘
Ooh jealous! I love the look of Kew gardens 10k. I'm away this year (not that I could do it anyway as it turns out), but I've got a reminder in my calendar to sign up for it next year and I'll just have to adjust my Canada trip date to fit it 😀
Beachy Head Marathon 26th October 😳
Awesome!!! Gotcha 😊
I’ll be one of the Canicross people doing the 10k
Gotcha!

Hi roseabi, I wonder if you could give me a shout-out for the Severn Bridge 10k on August 25th? I’ve been looking forward to this one since I first ran 10k in November last year, and it was first on my list to enter. I can’t wait! 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
I’m also entered in the Great South Run in October like several others on here, so could you add me to that list? Again, I can’t wait! 👏👏👏 Thanks! ❤️

Have you come across our Half Marathon Group? It's called "October" but it is basically aiming at Autumn races, and we do have quite a few people running September half marathons. Take a look! This is the most recent post (and it's a bit brief), but you can cycle back through all the posts via the link at the bottom:

Please could you take me off the events list for 1st Sept. I think The 13th Oct has already been deleted, but The Regents Park one is still on there. Thank you
Sorry about that, Linda! It is done xxx
No problem. I think it's the first time I've asked to have them taken down! I do have another event booked, but I'll keep it to myself for now as it's right on the edge of being doable, even if I get the go ahead to start running tomorrow.
Katnap has been persuaded by his AC to take part in the Kenilworth Half Marathon next Sunday, 1st September. He might not put it up so I’m doing it for him as it’s his first HM race 🤞🤞

I got out from the Belfast city half marathon slightly demotivated. to keep the motivation and the training up during the autumn, I have signed up for a 10 K on the 30th of November

November 10. Rock & Roll HM in Lima, Peru. It's my first HM and I have been going to physio for knee issues. Haven't run in 3 weeks (and that was a 10K). Completely unprepared and ready to face reality I may have to walk half of it!
I forgot to say. I’m doing the Sheffield Ten Ten Ten this Sunday, 6th October at endcliffe park.
It will be my biggest field to date with about 1200 runners 😟
Thanks Roseabi 🙂
