Oh, do we have some fabulous racing this weekend!

Calling all pom pom holders - the time is now, your amazing VRBs are ready for you!

On Sunday 27th August:

πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ First up we have Time_Lord who will be tackling the Spitfire 10k at Cosford; running laps around the tarmac airfield, we do hope it's a little cooler for you this time around πŸŒ₯️

bookitzone.com/NiceWork/eQjFFX

πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈNext we have Freecloud who is once again heading for the start line, this time for the Abbot Longford marathon. This will be Freecloud's second marathon this year and we are sure all your prep and training will pay off - go smash it πŸ‘Š

longfordmarathon.com/

πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈAnd then we have another 'class of 2018' gathering; this time representatives of the intrepid crew - cheekychipmunks Dexy5 UpTheStanley TailChaser Katnap and Week7 will all be heading to Chepstow. While TC and Katnap run the Severn Bridge HM, Cheeky, Dexy, UTS and Week7 will run the Severn Bridge10k. What a turnout! Get to the top of that final hill folks, and it will be time to party πŸ₯³

πŸš΄β€β™‚οΈ Finally, a mention for Β Shake-and-run who will be riding 100 miles in a day, doing a recce for an event she is organising in September. We wish you luck Shakes!!!

And then, on Wednesday 30th August:

πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈCantstopmenow will be jumping into a minibus to head north for the Blackpool Night Run, running 7.5k in support of a local children's hospice. The lure of fish, chips and beer should get you to that finish line in record time CSMN!

We wish you all πŸ€Bon CourageπŸ€ and hope you'll be posting some great race reports next week.

Have a wonderful time and ENJOY 🀩

Have a lovely weekend everyone

Thank you linda9389 and fellow runners. I’ve wanted to do this run from Wales to England and back since the first time cheekychipmunks did it and posted on here. So far it looks like a dry, cool, cloudy morning . Perfect running conditions! I’m not in peak running fitness but hoping to complete it one way or another.

It’s also a great opportunity to meet up with some HU buddies.

Good luck also to Freecloud , Week7 , Time_Lord , Shake-and-run and Cantstopmenow . Enjoy your running (and cycling)

Thanks for the shout-out Linda! πŸ˜€ It’ll be such fun! It’s my favourite Parkrun and favourite race. 😍

Shame I’m subjecting myself to Eastville boot camp to get some fitness back after a super chilled summer, or I’d be running there tomorrow morning too. 😩

Thankyou linda9389 and everyone for the pompoms . I will be needing them for the final hill. I am not as fit as last year but VERY excited. I have never met any VRB's so will be looking around carefully to see if I can spot any of the famous "class of 2018" runners![My Pre race excitement will build even further tomorrow when I collect my bib]

Good luck to everyone racing this weekend and later in the week whether πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ or 🚲 .

Me too- I'll be all πŸ‘€ for hats and Fordy Runs. I haven't sorted my kit yet but suspect it'll be along grey/black line. Must have a little think in the morning!Think less hill more short sharp shock to the legs just when you aren't expecting it .-although this year I will be expecting it....
