Yes indeed, the tenth month of the year is upon us already, and who needs Oktoberfest when there’s 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.

Get cheering for:

πŸ₯³ ArthurJG , River Ness 10K, lochnessmarathon.com/event/...

πŸ₯³ Cowladyrunning , Cardiff Half Marathon, cardiffhalfmarathon.co.uk

πŸ₯³ Freecloud , Donegal East Running 3/4 Marathon, facebook.com/DonegalEastRun...

πŸ₯³ linda9389 , Chester Metric Marathon, activeleisureevents.co.uk/m...

Oh, and apparently there’s some little event called the πŸ“£πŸ“£πŸ“£ London Marathon πŸ“£πŸ“£πŸ“£ tcslondonmarathon.com as well. Seems it’s quite popular 🀨 so send loads of support to this capital crowd:

πŸ₯³ 00marks , πŸ₯³ Jonno34 , πŸ₯³ Lookslikejames and πŸ₯³ TailChaser in the live race, not forgetting πŸ₯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 we’ve missed and we’ll 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 women’s cycle group’s first sportive (yes we are very nervous). My poms poms will be virtual but I will be waving them frantically. Good luck everybody. Xxxxx

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.

Are there any HU runners taking part who'd like to be mentioned? If so, please reveal yourselves!

AlMorr profile image
AlMorrHalf Marathonβ€’ in reply toCmoi

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.

Have fun as a spectator AlMorr !

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.
