Up, up and away – it’s pompom time again! 🥳🎉🎇🏅

[Cmoi]

August’s almost over, and to complete the month in style there’s a whole lotta racing going on!

Get your pompoms fluffed to the max and cheer your loudest for these splendiferous HU runners taking part in events on Sunday 28th August:

🎽 Week7 and cheekychipmunks (not forgetting Cheeky's daughter), who’ll be hoping that the Severn Bridge 10K - sites.google.com/site/sever... - won’t prove a bridge too far!

🎽 Sandie1961 and Shake-and-run , reaching for the skies in the Spitfire 10K - rafmuseum.org.uk/midlands/w...

🎽 Tag49 , off to the seaside for the Antrim Coast Half Marathon - antrimcoasthalfmarathon.com

And a bonus shout-out please for the one and only Roseabi 😊 just in case she’s lurking - our spies tell us she's taking part in an ultra this weekend.

Have a fantastic time, all of you, and don’t forget to report back on how things went! 👍😁

Forgotten anyone? Do let us know about any other August events that we’ve missed and we’ll get you added!

Pom Poms are waving from sunny southsea this weekend. Good luck to Tag24, cheekychipmunks and Jenny (it’s gonna be warm again), and to Shake-and-run and Sandie1961 .

Spitfires are special to us and we are lucky to be able to see one flying along the seafront several times a day in summer. UpTheStanley had a chance to fly one last year for his big birthday. Those young pilots were so brave.

And @roseabi if you take a peek. 😉
