Alcester 10k Report

[MrFox001]

Hi All,

Hope everyone had a great weekend run. Alcester 10K weather was really good Dry sunshine nice breeze perfect really. The run is just Fabulous. Starts and finishes in the centre of Alcester. It's got loads of variety up's and downs plenty of countryside really great atmosphere friendly and supportive locals the roads are closed for the run 3 drinks stations including the cider at station 3, not partaken by me despite the wonderful and tempting smell as i meandered past up hill at that stage.

I can't recommend this run enough to anyone contemplating it next year don't hesitate i will all being well be entering again. Picture attached with Bling small but tasteful a bit like my running buddy and a nice tea shirt.

Have a great week everyone.

Thank You JoJo i improved my best 10k time but i haven't found any matching socks yet for my shirt so i think that's the missing link for next year. Congrats on your new admin role and as always your awesome running

[GoGo_JoJo Ultramarathon in reply to MrFox001]

That will be it! Get them matched and you'll fly! 👍🏻😁

Thank you on both counts 💕

[Whatsapp Half Marathon]

Fantastic Mr Fox!! Well done!

[MrFox001 Half Marathon in reply to Whatsapp]

Thank You it's a lovely race entries open for next year😁

[Whatsapp Half Marathon in reply to MrFox001]

A bit too far afield for me I'm afraid 😁 Shame though as the cider sounds very enticing!

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon]

Brilliant! Always good to hear recommendations, and great that you enjoyed it so much too.

[MrFox001 Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Honestly it's just such a nice run most enjoyable give it a go if you are around you won't regret it😁

[Katnap Marathon]

A fast course too! A friend managed sub 50 minutes for the first time!

Well done MrFox001! 😁

[MrFox001 Half Marathon in reply to Katnap]

It is quicker than Stratford which is much flatter which is a bit odd. I won't ever trouble the Timekeepers that much but i'm creeping towards the magic 60 mins😁 Your friend did amazingly well i can only dream of that. Hope you can make it to next years it's well worth it.

[TailChaser Marathon]

Lovely MrFox! Sounds fab! Well done! 👏👏👏 All being well I/we’ll be joining you next year 👍👍

[MrFox001 Half Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

It is a lovely race just good fun entries open for next year already i have entered i will be the bloke at the back clutching a PG Tips (other tea's are available ) monkey. Hopefully you will be there and have as much fun as i do.

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to MrFox001]

Aw, MrFox, our PG Tips monkey looks after our bananas 😀 Good to know there are still some about, I hope he enjoys his runs with you 😁 I’ll definitely be entering but I just need to put my name down for the Shakespeare Half first, and I’ve just had an email about the Shakespeare Hospice Santa Dash, then there’s next years’ Big10k as well! It’s all go!! I will need to start a campaign for a Purity Beer station to go with the cider but I promise I will enter! 👍

[MrFox001 Half Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

I have entered the Shakespeare Half and the Big10 k so that's 3 runs you can wizz past me at. LOL.

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to MrFox001]

I wouldn’t bet on it MrFox! 🤣

[Decker Ultramarathon]

Sounds like a lovey run and a cider station too!! Well done 👍🏼

[Bluebirdrunner]

Congratulations on a great run Mr Fox!

Glad to hear you enjoyed it, Lovely medal and mascot...😍xx

[MrFox001 Half Marathon in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Thank You it's the Mascot that makes all the difference i can't get the bling back off him though 😁

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

Congratulations mrfox. 🏃‍♂️👏🏻👏🏻🏅🍾🥂

[MrFox001 Half Marathon]

Thank's Dexy it's great when the weather and the course and the atmosphere make it a perfect running day it's just a pleasure to be outside moving one foot in front of the other.

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon]

Well done on your run👏🏅 - sounds great although I can't imagine drinking alcohol on a run, (particularly cider!🤢)

[MrFox001 Half Marathon in reply to Sandraj39]

It was the smell of fresh apples that was so tempting but it was on an uphill stretch so probably my senses where heightened by the extra effort i was putting in at that point and the though of the last 2k being downhill!!!!!

[Windoze Half Marathon]

Ohhh nice this ones on my list too (leamington lad here). Sounds like it's worth a visit! Congratulations!!

Also I thought it was one of the WRRL league races?

[MrFox001 Half Marathon in reply to Windoze]

You should definitely give it a go next year as it's just down the road. It doesn't show in the WRRL list of races, i hadn't heard of that till you mentioned it but i looked it up on there web site.

[roseabi Ultramarathon]

Fabulous!!!!!
