[RunBrianRun Half Marathon]

Good luck Tabbles 👍 Have a great run and enjoy the day 😊

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

Go Tabbles Go. Whenever I hear about this run I think I must sign up for it! Forgotten again. I bet those tunnels will be nice and cool.

Pom poms are waving!

[Tabbles Half Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

Tunneks are always 12 degrees, the tunnels are approx 400m and 1600m long in the 10k you run them out and back so 4k underground

[Dexy5 10 Miles in reply to Tabbles]

And quite a difference between the bright day and dark tunnels. Have fun.

[RunWillie Marathon]

Have fun! Tabbles 😍

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon]

[Kevin41 Half Marathon in reply to Cmoi]

Brilliant, thanks Cmoi 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[Cmoi Marathon in reply to Kevin41]

You're welcome 🙂 (and no, I've no idea how I knew this, my memory works in extremely weird ways 🙄 🙃)

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Kevin41]

'a giant 10cm x 24cm' to be precise 😍

[Kevin41 Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Wow! 🏅

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon]

[Decker Ultramarathon]

Best of luck Tabbles! Tunnels are always fun to run through! 😀

[aliboo70 Half Marathon]

Good luck have fun! Xxx

[Time_Lord Half Marathon]

Good luck Tabbles , I did the Two Tunnels out and back in July. Lovely route especially the Tunnels. If you have a head torch it might be worth taking it as the Tunnels are a bit dark in places. Please post a medal photo as I'd love to see what yours looks like. Mine was a wooden affair and a little disappointing.

[Tabbles Half Marathon in reply to Time_Lord]

I know the tunnels well as this will be my 4th time this year. I did the out and back in May. Tomorrow they have the run through Bath which I am unsure is part of the half or full marathon. Also a 50k

[ForbiddenPlanet Half Marathon]

Good luck Tabbles, though from the fascinating report Cmoi linked to it doesn't sound like you will need it. Have a great day!

[lexi6 10 Miles]

Have a wonderful time Tabbles the Tunnels are awesome and the atmosphere is amazing. On holiday from New Zealand 3 years ago and staying in Bath, I went for a jog in Linear Park not realising it was the day of the Two Tunnels Series 😂 I'd love to come back and "officially" run it one day. Go! Tabbles

[Frenc Half Marathon]

Nooo how did I miss this yesterday?! My pom poms are frantically being waved your way Tabbles ! Go get ‘em 😁😁😁.

[Tabbles Half Marathon]

Wow, I feel like a celebrity with all the wishes. Didn't realise I was the only one running.

[Tabbles Half Marathon]

Thank for all the PomPom waving, spurred me on to a sprint finish. Watch recorded time of 54:33. Official time may be slower as I started at the back of the wave.

Medal pictures 4th wooden medal and a stand to put them on,also a perspex trophy for booking a set of 3. This has a brass stick on as it says 2020.

Ribbons represent different distances, AA battery added for size reference.
