[Sqkr]

Hi there fellow eventers!

Are you running an event this March? Would you like to be included in the weekly POM POM post so we can give you a BIG CHEER?

As you may already know, we put up a new post each month to log everyone's events (there's a separate one for February - link at the bottom of this post).

So, if you've entered a race this March (it doesn't have to be a marathon - any event, any distance) make a note in the comments below so we can cheer you on.

Please tell us the name of the event, the date and give us a link to the event website if available, and we'll add you to the weekly pom-pom cheer !!!!!

Happy running!

[Sqkr Half Marathon]

I've started you off there with a wee 5k! They moved the Supernova run from November to March, which I wasn't very happy about as I'm not sure it will be sufficiently dark, but hey ho I guess they have their reasons... Anyway, said I wan't going to do it in a huff, but somehow signed up anyway.

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Sqkr]

Ha, well done!!

I want to do the Kalamazoo Marathon now, don't care what it's like, just so I can say I've done it 😄

[Sqkr Half Marathon in reply to roseabi]

I spent ages trying to find an appropriate meme or picture, and settled on Superman crossing the finish line at Kalamazoo, because it says everything it needs to I think 🤣

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Sqkr]

😄😄😄

[ArthurJG Half Marathon in reply to Sqkr]

Me too. It will be sufficiently dark. Sunset will be at 6.30 and civil twilight when street lights are compulsory is 7.09. It will be similar to the 5pm Sunday one in November which was fine. I was miffed as they initially put the Sunday one off as it won’t be dark at 5; then put it on again due to demand rebranding it as ‘dusk’; then switched it to 7 pm so it will be dark. I would have entered in the Sunday had they announced that from the outset but now I’m committed to the Saturday and friends are relying on me for transport.

[ArthurJG Half Marathon in reply to Sqkr]

It’s been moved to November now due to the lurgy. The Sunday is the 15th.

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

Oh crikey it’s real now! linda9389 , Irishprincess , Redcello41 and myself (and no doubt others) are running the Bath Half on March 15th!

bathhalf.co.uk/

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Glad you wrote that - saves me worrying about tempting fate 😍

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

I’m being so uber cautious, even walking the dog!

[Sqkr Half Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Bosh! On the list! I wonder who else will join you 😃

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon in reply to Sqkr]

[Redcello41 Half Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

[Deals1 Metric Marathon in reply to Redcello41]

sounds interesting?

[Redcello41 Half Marathon in reply to Deals1]

Yeah the route goes through two Tunnels that used to be train tracks, pretty cool

[Windoze Half Marathon in reply to Redcello41]

Like the sound of this one...out of interest where is it?

[Redcello41 Half Marathon in reply to Windoze]

It's at Brickfields Green in Bath. Lovely flat course, I've run it twice last year! 😃

[tiggs1 Marathon]

Omg I just realised that my Weston Super Half is on the 29th March... how I forgot that I have no idea! Due to training for my trail 20 I haven’t been following a HM plan.

[Windoze Half Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

Whoop

[Maz1234]

10 mile run with runwiganfestivals.co.uk/ 1st race so quite nervous 22nd March.

[Sqkr Half Marathon in reply to Maz1234]

Lovely stuff!

[JaoJao]

This is a great thread and seeing what everyone else is up to! So many races, I suppose this marks the start of the race season.

I am doing a 10K at Dorney Lake on 22 March.

theraceorganiser.com/listed...

On 29th March, I’m volunteering at LLHM ❤️

[Sqkr Half Marathon in reply to JaoJao]

Gotcha!

[JaoJao in reply to Sqkr]

Linda is volunteering with me too at LLHM ❤️❤️

[Hidden in reply to JaoJao]

Great 10k. This is the one I did in December.

[JaoJao in reply to Hidden]

Come join me xx

[Hidden in reply to JaoJao]

I am so unfit at the moment I don’t think I would make it round but also I have plans that weekend which is a shame. I am booked to do 15k there at the beginning of September before the GSR in October.

Perhaps we could do it together then. That would be fun and you could sign up for the GSR as your next goal?

😀

[JaoJao in reply to Hidden]

Ohhh I’ll have a think xx how are you getting on with your Garmin?

[Hidden in reply to JaoJao]

Definitely do, lots of other VRB’s do it I believe. I know it’s a bit of a journey for you but it seems like a really popular run.

I have also signed up for the Lymington 10k on 10 May. I’m managing to find all her flat runs 😀. My cousin has done it a few times and says it’s a really nice one.

I’m loving the Garmin thanks apart from Sunday when it died after finding GPS because I had forgotten to charge it.m!!! Luckily I could use map my run bit it was annoying.

How about you, do you still love yours?

[JaoJao in reply to Hidden]

I’ve gotten so used to it now, it’s easy to use and records my runs accurately at parkrun. Best investment 👍

[sTrongFuse Half Marathon 10 Miles]

I'm doing the Winton Trail 10k wintoncastle.co.uk/activiti... on Saturday 28th March.

I've then got the 13.1k "Kilomathon" in Edinburgh the following weekend, but that's April so doesn't count (yet...)

[Sqkr Half Marathon in reply to sTrongFuse]

On the list! And that reminds me, I must enter the Kilomathon too. Thanks for the nudge 😄

[sTrongFuse Half Marathon 10 Miles in reply to Sqkr]

Maybe see you there...

[Windoze Half Marathon]

LLHM for me Sqkr!

[Sqkr Half Marathon in reply to Windoze]

You're already on the list, Windoze!

[Langley-Loper Half Marathon]

I'm doing the Bedgebury Forest Spring 10k on 22 March. This will be my first trail run. I hope the nice scenery will help make the undulating miles fly by.

nice-work.org.uk/races/Bedg...

[Sqkr Half Marathon in reply to Langley-Loper]

I'm sure it will!

[wyrdwolf]

Larmer Tree 10 miles on the 7th March whitestarrunning.co.uk/larm... (hoping this one isn't postponed from storms!)

[Sqkr Half Marathon in reply to wyrdwolf]

Crossed fingers...hopefully the weather has stormed itself out by then!

[Tasha99 Marathon]

I'm also doing Wynyard trail 10 miler on March 29 Xx

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Tasha99]

Gotcha!

[C3PO Marathon]

I should be doing the LLHM on March 29th. Running for Team Tommy's.

[Sqkr Half Marathon in reply to C3PO]

Gotcha!

[ArthurJG Half Marathon]

Kelpies Supernova 5k now postponed to November. I think they were glad of the excuse TBH. They got grief for moving it to March in the first place and the email came out only three hours after FMQs with new dates already in place.

[Sqkr Half Marathon in reply to ArthurJG]

I'm sad, because although I much prefer it at the end of the year it's going to clash with the Athens Marathon! 😔

[Newrunner76]

March 21st Cheshire 10k cheshire10k.com/event/chesh...

[AlexanderOgden]

Unfortunately, our city has now canceled all marathons due to the quarantine. In our city there are a lot of sports marathons and I visit almost each of them. By the way, I want to say that at sports marathons, the importance of sound is often underestimated, although this is a very important part. Once I was at a marathon where the sound and music were so cool that I got a second breath when I ran. It was very cool. So for the future, I want to recommend to all organizers of marathons to choose a good company that will do a quality sound, for example like this one -truesoundhire.co.uk/

[Sqkr Half Marathon in reply to AlexanderOgden]

Boooooo! But best to be safe, and let us know if you decide to go ahead with any virtual events 😊
