April, come she will… so here’s your invitation to tell us all about your APRIL running events! πŸ…

They can be any distance and location, and we don’t care whether you’re a regular participant in races, or new to organised competitive events. We’d just love to know what you’re up to!

All you need to do is reply to this post and let us know the name and date of your event, and include a link to the website if you can. Then we’ll add you to the events list – see the link below – so that your VRBs can check out all the details, gather round virtually and give you a Friday POMPOM CHEER! πŸŽ‰

Wishing you all the very best with your training, and enjoy your races! πŸƒπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

I've got the Monsal Trail HM on 2nd April and the Beaconsfield 5 mile Trail Run (for the third time 😍) on 10th April (Easter Monday) - I can walk to this one from my own loo, what's not to love?!

Hello Cmoi, both Β UpTheStanley snd I will be going to the Peak District to do the Monsal Trail 10k on 2nd April along with a few others on here. πŸ˜‰

I’m hoping my knee will be ok and I’ll be running , but I’ll definitely be there anyway to catch up with a few runny friends

Shake-and-runHalf Marathon

hi Cmoi, I have a 10k Easter Sunday run at Chasewater. nice-work.org.uk/races/Chas... . I first entered this event (to do the 5k) a few years ago but it was cancelled due to Covid and I ended up running it virtually at home. This time I will get to enjoy the views of the lake and an Easter Sunday lunch with my in-laws who live 5 mins walk from the start.

On the 16th April I will be taking to 2 wheels (can’t beat a bit if cross training!) as I do the Blossom Trail Sportive through the Vale of Evesham. cycleeveshamvale.org/blosso.... 49 miles of undulating countryside and some of the most amazing smells (from all that blossom). I’ve done this ride several times before and some of the stinkiest hills come right at the end when your legs are super tired.

Cmoi profile image
CmoiMarathonβ€’ in reply toShake-and-run

I can do running for Easter eggs Β Shake-and-run , but cycling up hills sounds scary!

Hi πŸ‘‹ Cmoi Mine is a modest event. I’m running 5k for the Trussell Trust in their Race Against Hunger event on 1st April. I’m aiming to raise Β£100 for this much needed charity. I’m at a afternoon tea in the afternoon so will feed my face as a reward πŸ˜‚

The distance may be modest, the cause isn't Frizzbomb67 - very best of luck with your fundraising! And your post-run treats will taste even sweeter!

Kew Gardens Half Marathon. The entry gets the runner, 2 adult spectators and 2 children into the gardens. Thought that made it a bargain 🀣 My 1st HM 😁run-fest.com/kew-the-run/ke...

Cmoi profile image
CmoiMarathonβ€’ in reply toKirst13

Excellent thinking Β Kirst13 , your totally bargainous first HM race is now noted!

linda9389 profile image
linda9389AdministratorMarathonβ€’ in reply toKirst13

Great choice! I did this one last year and absolutely loved it. It was very well organised apart from loo queues at the start. They vowed they would fix that for this year, but ... TIP ALERT if the queues in the car park look mad ... there are Kew loos in the gardens, on the way to the start line that had no queue!!! 😍

Enjoy. It really is a lovely route, and as you say it's a great deal when you can all get into Kew afterwards too 😊 They even had men's and women's fit t-shirts so I was super happy!

Dexy510 Milesβ€’ in reply toKirst13

A beautiful place to run Kirst13

Hopefully - all things being crossed (and not just the buns)!!! I will be attempting my first marathon since completing C25k back in may 2020 - it will be the Paris marathon on 2nd April πŸ˜€

Good luck to everyone in your events πŸ˜„

What a place to run your first marathon Hidden , though running with crossed buns of any description sounds extraordinarily difficult, not to say painful!

I'd have been interested in joining you, but I'll have my own endurance event that morning. (My turn on the rota as reader, and it's Palm Sunday.)

Cmoi profile image
CmoiMarathonβ€’ in reply tonowster

You go to Monsal   nowster , leave me a number for the church, and I'll call and sing Renaissance sacred music down the phone to the congregation. That'll be an endurance event for them too! (My choir's singing at the Abbey Church in Conques at the end of April 😊)

Firstly, the race is already sold out.

Secondly, the bishop (retired) might just be expecting someone to be there at 11 am to narrate the passion account according to Matthew (26:14-27:66)…

I missed this post (just for a change 🀣)! More here for the Monsal Trail on 2nd April. Katnap and I are doing the HM and youngest kitten is doing the 10k. Can’t wait!

(so far so good, I’ve resisted signing up to the virtual London Marathon, long may that continue!)

I'm doing my first organised race for some months on the 30 April in Nice, France. It offers a half marathon, 10 km and 5 km plus a childrens run. I am doing the 10 km.

Hi Cmoi I'm working towards the Worthing Half Marathon on 30 April:

letsdothis.com/gb/e/worthin...

I ran 17km yesterday so I'm on track to complete my training about a week ahead of schedule. That's just as well as I'll be on holiday in south Devon from 19-24 April! I'll still do a few short runs while I'm there, including Parkrun as it's nearby.

I have my very first HM race😱 on 16th April!!!!

I know I can do the distance as Ive done it on my own but this will be my first official one!!πŸ₯΄ Excited but also nervous, which I hope is normal????

Cmoi profile image
CmoiMarathonβ€’ in reply toHedgehogs123

As I see it HM distance is HM distance whether you run it solo or in an organised event Hedgehogs123 ! I assume that feeling nervous is normal, but I've only ever done two events as races definitely aren't my thing, they terrify me at the best of times.

Hi Cmoi

As well as the Forest of Dean HM tomorrow, I have the Newport Marathon on 16th April. I don’t feel as well prepared as I have done for previous ones so I’ve no idea how this one will pan out!

Cmoi profile image
CmoiMarathonβ€’ in reply toSkiMonday

Aha, I thought you were doing Forest of Dean tomorrow, but wasn't sure as you hadn't replied earlier! I'll add the Newport Marathon to the spreadsheet for you.

Irishprincess , if you're around, can you add SkiMonday to the pompom cheer please, though I think we're already over the tagging limit? I'd do it myself but I'm about to go out to teach!

Hi Tasha, I'm sure we'll both complete our marathon, just maybe not a PB! There again, I often find that I run better when I don't feel well prepared at the start so we'll have to see. Have a great marathon!

Hi all I will be running my first trail race tomorrow at the mendip raceway. I am taking on the 12k middle distance. They also have a 6k and 23k option.

Looking forward to testing myself on the climbs. +400 meters most of it looks like it's one hill.
