Yes indeed, the tenth month of the year is upon us already, and who needs Oktoberfest when thereβs a feast of fantastic HU runners to celebrate instead?!
Your biggest, fluffiest pompoms are required on Sunday 2nd October for a host of races, mostly variations on the theme of a marathon.
Oh, and apparently thereβs some little event called the π£π£π£ London Marathon π£π£π£ tcslondonmarathon.com as well. Seems itβs quite popular π€¨ so send loads of support to this capital crowd:
π₯³ 00marks , π₯³ Jonno34 , π₯³ Lookslikejames and π₯³ TailChaser in the live race, not forgetting π₯³ David_G for the virtual event.
Have a glorious time, all of you, and do let us have your race reports!
Have we overlooked anyone or anything in our extensive line-up? Do tell us about any other runners or events that weβve missed and weβll get them added asap!

soooo excited for all of you running this weekend, especially my neighbour, friend and training buddy Tailchaser. You will all be amazing I know it. I will be thinking of you all and following the LM on the app while I take on the role of Health & Safety Officer and member of the organising team at my womenβs cycle groupβs first sportive (yes we are very nervous). My poms poms will be virtual but I will be waving them frantically. Good luck everybody. Xxxxx
Woo hoo my pom poms are fluttering in the breeze for all of you lovely runners! Good luck ArthurJG , Cowladyrunning , Freecloud , linda9389 , 00marks , Jonno34 , Lookslikejames , TailChaser and David_G .
Just to tell you Cmoi that on Sunday there is also The Great Scottish Run in Glasgow Scotland, this is a 10K and Half Marathon, I wish all the runners all the very best.
I am not sure about that Cmoi, the last time this event was held was 2019 when several HU runners took part, however, those same runners haven't posted anything on this forum for years so I am not sure if there is anyone in the Glasgow area on HU running either the 10K or Half Marathon, I will be travelling to Glasgow on Sunday morning, but to spactate, not run and cheer the runners on.
I think it's fair to say that HU pompom posts usually only include events and runners mentioned in responses to the monthly events post. The Marathon Team couldn't possibly list all the races in which HU runners have previously participated, nor name-check people who haven't told us about their participation!
Similarly, occasionally people mention their events on Strava but not on here. If I notice that I'll message them to see if they'd like a pompom shout-out or not.
Superstars deserve Super Pom Poms, and my West Country ones are just that. Theyβve started waving now, and theyβll continue until the end of the weekend. Go go go you epic bunch. πββοΈπββοΈππ β€οΈ
Hahaha TailChaser well they go without saying! π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦ How are YOU feeling today? π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦π¦
π€£π€£π€£ Iβd been shaking off lurgy all week, throwing everything I could at it. It seemed to chill me out and change my focus π€·π»ββοΈ thankfully it came to nothing. How are you feeling today?
Ahh Iβm soooo relieved yours didnβt end up like mine. I simply couldnβt have done it. I think itβs finally on the way out now. ππ» Iβm back to regular yoga and will be running at the gym in a bit. Iβm not going to push anything, but Iβll be on that GSR starting line. π€ΈββοΈ
What a fabulous posse! Good luck each and every one of you ππ₯³
Have fun, run with joy and heart and bring home the glory πͺπͺ π€πββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈππββοΈπββοΈ
