Hello wonderful VRBs, here we are with another weekend to look forward to!

With just one event on our HU calendar this weekend (at time of posting), we can focus our cheers, support and flying pompoms on a fabulous trio of runners.

On Sunday 22nd our own three musketeers TailChaser , Katnap (really cats? So soon on the back of Amsterdam?💪) and Shake-and-run will do battle in the first of five runs in theTempo Winter Series

With an infamous hill and a sausage reward rather than bling, this series is a firm favourite for these three. Here's to a mighty fine toad-in-the-hole!!! tempoevents.co.uk/events/wi...

Also on Sunday our lovely Langley-Loper will be tackling the hills (over 900ft of them) of the Maistone half marathon, hoping to once again head up her age category. Here's to flying feet LL.

We wish our lovely racers all the very best of luck; have loads of fun and enjoy 🥰

Do let us know if we've missed anyone.

Happy weekend everyone

From The Team xxx

[Langley-Loper Half Marathon]

Sneaking in under the radar, I'm doing the Maidstone HM on Sunday. I'm hoping to defend my WV50 - 59 title from last year but with 900ft of elevation it's a toughie!

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Langley-Loper]

Ooh, good luck there! Let me get you added to the post now 🥰

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Langley-Loper]

275 metres Total Ascent within an HM is definitely a tough run Langley-Loper! My last HM had only 170m Total Ascent…..quite enough for me! Have a fabulous day, and if you defend your title successfully, that will be a welcome bonus for you; but taking part in the run itself is success!🙂

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to Langley-Loper]

Good luck Langley-Loper! That does sound a tough one, hope the weather is kind to you 👏👏👏

[SueAppleRun 10 Miles]

Can't believe it's Friday again, I'll dust off my pom poms and gladly wave them at our intrepid 3, as they run for sausages, a strange phenomenon to those not in the know 😁

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

Whoop whoop to  TailChaser ,  Katnap and  Shake-and-run . Now how many Winter Series hoodies do you want? Have fun - I can smell those sausages grilling already.

Good luck also to Langley-Loper in Maidstone. Bring back the bling!

[Week7 Half Marathon]

Pompoms at the ready!!

Sausages are back! - TailChaser Katnap AND Shake-and-run have a good run !

Have a good race Langley-Loper .!

[RunWillie Metric Marathon]

Have fun everyone ❤️🏃‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon]

Good luck everyone 🍀🍀 Do your thing and get the bling (or sausages 🤣)

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

Imagine putting sausages round your neck on a ribbon Irishprincess ! 😂

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

😍😍😍

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Not sure that is a good look Munks and it would make me hungry 😂

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

🤣

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Now there’s an idea 🤣

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

I dare you TC 😅

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

Good luck you sausage seekers and hilly hero! Looking forward to seeing photos and reading race reports. Hope the weather is kind too. 🤞🥰

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thanks Cheeky 👍🌭😍

[Kevin41 Half Marathon]

wish more races ended with a reward of sausages!!!

Cheering you all on all the way round!! Best of luck

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to Kevin41]

I think it’s the way to go Kevin! We all have too many tops and medals (although Cheeky may disagree with me there…) Thank you 😃

[Kevin41 Half Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

Definitely the way to go. Can never have too many sausages!

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon]

Love the photo this week linda9389 !

Good luck wonderful runners - pompoms waving in the autumn breeze here and wishing you all the best in your races! 👏👏👏🙂

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon]

Return of the sausage munchers, and the big cliffhanger question…..what colour will the hoodies be this year?! After all that running and cycling this year, our intrepid trio definitely need, and deserve, this banger fest! Toad in the hole ahoy at chez Tail Chaser and Katnap!👏👏👏👏👏🙂😋

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to Beachcomber66]

All will be revealed in February BC! The more immediate question is, what will the sausages be??? Looking forward to the Toad 😋😋😋

[Langley-Loper Half Marathon]

I think I'd rather have sausages than the rather bent trophy I got last year!!

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Langley-Loper]

😍😍😍

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to Langley-Loper]

The occasional trophy would be nice though LL even though it’s not very practical.

[GTFC Marathon]

Woo-hoooooo! Pompoms and best wishes from Middlesbrough 🙌

[Oldfloss Administrator]

I wonder if there are any cheese runs ??? I love cheese ! Not that keen on sausages!

Have a super race all of you... soggy pom poms ready to wave , here in wet, wet, Wales...

Run safe, Run dry? Run well, Run HAPPY!!!

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to Oldfloss]

Gloucester…that cheese rolling thing down the hill? Wrong time of year though….

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

Now I *think* that goes above and beyond on the bonkers stakes even for the likes of us slightly bonkers ones on HU. Unless anyone knows different …… 😅

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Oldfloss]

Sausages with melted cheese on, in a bun 🤤😀

[Oldfloss Administrator in reply to misswobble]

Now that.... maybe I could go for!
