[Freecloud Marathon]

Hi  Cmoi and other VRBs, I am making sure that I am in time for this one and not like the very lasts seconds for June 😅. I have just the one run lined up so far and its a half marathon in Kilkee County Clare runkilkee.ie/. It's on the west cost of Ireland and is meant to have stunning views of the coast. My wife is coming with me for a couple of nights away so we will be site seeing as well. Apart from that, I will be mainly concentrating on my marathon training plan.

Best of luck everyone.

And you're now officially on the July pompoms list Freecloud , in plenty of time! 😉🙃😁

[Curlygurly2 Half Marathon]

Race For Life, 2nd July.

I did it for the first time last year, there were 2 choices, 5K & 10K, I opted for the 10K race. The first half was wonderful, all round Cambridge, through King's college grounds, with families and dogs and loads of people all having great fun. The second part went out along the river, a route I do most days, so nothing special for me, and hardly anyone continuing past the first bit, so a bit lonely!

Guess which distance I've signed up for this time? Yup!! 5K!!

[Hedgehogs123 Metric Marathon]

Hi, Im doing the Heckington 10 miler on Sat 29 July. The 10 Mile Road Race is held as part of the annual Heckington Show and is the oldest race in the midlands (apparently)

​The race starts at 9.00am on Saturday 29th July, hoping its not too hot with a nice early start.

[Cmoi Marathon in reply to Hedgehogs123]

Added you Hedgehogs123 , and thanks for specifying that it's ten miles, not 10K. Event now boasts its full title in the spreadsheet!

[Hedgehogs123 Metric Marathon in reply to Cmoi]

Thanks, has another practice run today, got to get used to running in the heat and humidity again. We just don't get enough of that weather usually in the UK, and especially in the county I live, it always seems to be windy or cold, so when we do get a week of heat, we all all struggle!🥵

Hi Cmoi I’m taking part in a 5 mile event over the water, from Liverpool, in Birkenhead Park next Wednesday 19th. A few of my fellow running club members are also taking part and after completing a 10k event last Sunday I feel confident about this one 😊

Here’s a link to the run:
