Time's running away with us - Fridayโs here again, and with it comes your weekly invitation to get those pompoms waving for a fabulous crop of Springtime runners! ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐
And whatever you do, donโt be late, because in the UK, Ireland and most of Europe, the clocks go forward one hour at 2.00am on Sunday 26th March! โฐ
Neatly avoiding that problem is ย Freecloud whoโll be running on Saturday 25th March in the Roscommon HM, also known as the Ros Run โ eventmaster.ie/event/A1yKSj... Organizers promise a host of breathtaking views, taking in Roscommonโs castle, park, lakes and forest.
Staying right on time on Sunday 26th March are no fewer than four runners, all in different events. First up, ย aliboo70 in the Salisbury 10 miler, salisbury-arc.org/salisbury-10 This oneโs billed as an all-ability, scenic course, following the banks of the River Avon through the gently undulating Woodford Valley and offering fine views of the cathedral spire on the return leg.
Running the same distance will be ย Cantstopmenow , only this time itโs the BTR Liverpool 10 Miler: btrliverpool.com/lhm-and-10... From whatโs described as a grandstand start to a finish on the cityโs iconic and world-famous waterfront, which includes the Royal Liver Building, the route takes in many of the cityโs famous landmarks.
Itโs the Wolverhampton 10K โ wolves10k.com/course-map/ โ thatโs calling ย Time_Lord . Starting and finishing at Molineux Stadium, this is a distinctly urban race on closed roads thatโs โgently undulatingโ (= flat as a pancake) and apparently offers PB potential!
Our final call is for ย RunBrianRun , whoโs running in the Vets AC and Eastern Masters AC indoor combined championship. For some bizarre reason the organizers arenโt bragging about the stupendous scenery. Probably just as well because Brianโs so speedy that he wouldnโt have time to notice it as he sprints by!
Have we overlooked anyone? Any last-minute race entries? If youโre out there racing this weekend and want a pompom cheer, send us the details and weโll add you right away! Happy running, all! ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐
STOP ALL THE CLOCKS! We're adding a late entry from StringsandKeys , who'll be running on Sunday in the Spring 2023 Clock Change Challenge 10K - riderhq.com/events/p/3uly1l... Runners will head out and back along flat, quiet country lanes in Wiltshire - yes, this is another course that offers the chance to grab a PB!
