Well, we have a plethora of fab runners this weekend who will be turning up at some fantastic events. So, get those pompoms fluffed up and arms warmed up ready to wave loads of support.
βοΈFirst up we have the ever-ready Β cheekychipmunks , Β TailChaser and Β Katnap who will be meeting up in Bath for the Two Tunnels runs. Cheeky is tackling the 10K and TC and KN will be doing the HM.
The Two Tunnels are right under the city of Bath and have been repaired and upgraded so that walkers, runners and cyclists can enjoy using the paths. The first tunnel is 408m long and the second one is 1672m long, so plenty of opportunity to practice your yodelling and take some atmospheric photos guys πΈ
βοΈNext we head from the tunnels in Bath to the centre of London for the iconic London Winter 10K Run which is always popular with our VRBs. This year we have a BIG group of fabulous runners taking part, Β David_G , Β Jogger22 , Β Mudita11 , Β Sandraj39 and Β Time_Lord
The closed road route will take runners through the heart of London passing landmarks such as St. Pauls Cathedral and Trafalgar Square. Itβs also well known that various furry creatures will be mingling amongst the runners too, so keep an eye out for those everyone!
βοΈ Finally, we move away from London to Wales where we will find Β Cowladyrunning At the start line of the Pontypool 10K. This scenic route starts off downhill, then thereβs a flat stretch before a short(ish) climb to the Monmouthshire and Brecon canal towpath. Apparently the last mile is βundulatingβ before the gorgeous setting of Pontypool Park and a slight uphill to the finish line. Sounds a bit up and down but youβll take it in your stride CLR πͺ
Wow! What a line up...tunnels..London..and Wales!!Go everybody ..but just a social mention for David_G . .who continues to inspire me and a heck of a lot of us, not just for his comeback from his heart attacks, but for his new role as a voluntary support we to folk who have gone through heart problems.
woo hoo! My Stratford Pom poms are on vacation in Bournemouth so will be waving frantically from the South coast. Have a jolly time everyone and enjoy your running adventures xxx
Thanks for the shout out IP! My first piece of bling for 2024, and I have a lovely new hanger to put it on as my old one refuses to hold even one more!
My first run beyond 5k since the GSR in October too! I know Iβm a bit unorthodox, but those who know my running style will understand all will be just fine! π Just donβt copy me! π
Ooo exciting! Hope it goes well - Iβm sure it will!
I really recommend the Two Tunnels. The weather was shocking, but seeing as how most of the race is in the tunnels, it didnβt affect me until the end. I love Relish events too, and Iβll do Cheddar again this year. π
I did enjoy Cheddar too..,. π€ Maybe I'll book 2 tunnels next year. Though I think they do it twice a year don't they? I'm going to Jeff Newport because of my lack of training π
Yes happy running to you all! I hope everything goes well and what a lovely pom pom fellow in the photo! πππ»ββοΈπββοΈππ»ββοΈπββοΈπ
Shoes just about dried from this weeks puddles, so just in time to get soaked again! Youngest kitten will be joining us for the 10k but thereβs no places in cheekychipmunks β wave so I suspect heβll have to do the βHillyβ route. No doubt heβll be super speedy!!
Thanks Irishprincess π Iβm looking forward to Jeffing round the London Winter Run this year. Iβm not bothered about my time, I just want to finish! π Thatβll be enough for this year and hopefully Iβll be back again in 2025 a little bit stronger and fitter πββοΈπͺπ€
Thanks Irishprincess for the shoutout! Good luck to everyone and hope you have fun tomorrow. Don't forget to warm up and start off slow πDon't know if there will be many potholes in central London so look out for those!
