๐ŸŒผโฐ Spring forward - time to get those pompoms waving!๐Ÿ“ฃ๐ŸŽ‰

Time's running away with us - Fridayโ€™s here again, and with it comes your weekly invitation to get those pompoms waving for a fabulous crop of Springtime runners! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿƒ

And whatever you do, donโ€™t be late, because in the UK, Ireland and most of Europe, the clocks go forward one hour at 2.00am on Sunday 26th March! โฐ

Neatly avoiding that problem is ย Freecloud whoโ€™ll 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 Roscommonโ€™s 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 oneโ€™s 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 itโ€™s the BTR Liverpool 10 Miler: btrliverpool.com/lhm-and-10... From whatโ€™s described as a grandstand start to a finish on the cityโ€™s iconic and world-famous waterfront, which includes the Royal Liver Building, the route takes in many of the cityโ€™s famous landmarks.

Itโ€™s the Wolverhampton 10K โ€“ wolves10k.com/course-map/ โ€“ thatโ€™s calling ย Time_Lord . Starting and finishing at Molineux Stadium, this is a distinctly urban race on closed roads thatโ€™s โ€œgently undulatingโ€ (= flat as a pancake) and apparently offers PB potential!

Our final call is for ย RunBrianRun , whoโ€™s running in the Vets AC and Eastern Masters AC indoor combined championship. For some bizarre reason the organizers arenโ€™t bragging about the stupendous scenery. Probably just as well because Brianโ€™s so speedy that he wouldnโ€™t have time to notice it as he sprints by!

Have we overlooked anyone? Any last-minute race entries? If youโ€™re out there racing this weekend and want a pompom cheer, send us the details and weโ€™ll add you right away! Happy running, all! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿƒ

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!

Pom poms waving from my sick bed here in France. Well done everyone, have a wonderful time! Especially Time_Lord running from Molineux (home of my husbandโ€™s team) , I did the run last year and enjoyed it a lot. Donโ€™t be fooled by the โ€˜flatโ€™ description, there is a little kick in the tail. Enjoy the finish inside the ground with fans cheering from the stands. Meanwhile I will try and shift this lergy so I can get my trainers back on and go for a run.

Good luck all . Hope all your runs go according to plan. Waving pom poms for you all.

No running for me at the moment -back from an amazing holiday only to test positive for covid the day after my return-I suppose it was bound to catch up with me sometime!
