Have you signed up yet?

The HU10 main event takes place on on Sunday 19th May, 9.30am - it's not too late to join in !!! Just comment below ⬇️

(note: we will also accept runs at any time on Sunday 19th May or at any point during the following week of Mon 20th - Sun 26th May).

Two distances are available choose either the 10 miles or the 10k, or opt for the 'double' (be it back to back or over two separate days 😍).

At time of posting, we already have 50 entries from both the Bridge and Fun Beyond 10k forums.

If you missed the original announcement, there is a link at the bottom of this one.

★ Strava club

For previous HU events we have set up a totally optional strava club which always proved very popular. The club for this event is now live: HU10 spring 2024.

Joining the Strava club is certainly not essential in order to take part in this HU event. However, if you already use Strava (or fancy giving it a try) you may like to join so we can follow each other and add our support and encouragement to each other’s activities (not to mention throw around some extra kudos).

Along with lots of others, I found the club camaraderie especially useful during my first HM training - it’s great to see how people are getting on and to share experiences on a run by run basis.

So, if you’re on Strava and would like to be part of the club, send me a 'request to join' using this link: strava.com/clubs/HU10spring24

We will only accept people we recognise from HU; if your HU name and your Strava name are very different, could you please message me using HU private chat to let me know who you are on Strava (or add a comment to this post letting me know you've submitted a request to join) so that I don’t ignore you thinking you are an outsider!!!

I have also added a ‘who’s who?’ post to the Strava club; once you’ve been accepted into the group, do add a comment to let everyone in the club know your HU alter ego if it isn’t obvious. We can then follow each other and spread the kudos!

Event start list 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

We have put together a list of who has 'entered' already (bearing in mind that there will be no fee to change at any point and no refund if you have to pull out!); you can find it on the first page of the event spreadsheet here docs.google.com/spreadsheet...

Event playlist🎶🎧

We will put together the ever popular, often eclectic, event music playlist (probably Spotify) and it’s time to tell us what inspires you. What keeps you going or even gets you started? What gets you up that hill? We want to know your most inspirational music, the more tracks the merrier so don’t worry about choosing just one favourite! You can find a list of tracks suggested so far on the second page of the event spreadsheet docs.google.com/spreadsheet... . Get your choices added now by commenting below!

★ Keep the comments coming!

Do let us know how you’re feeling about your run and how you’re getting on, either via the weekly chat post or in your own posts.

Have fun, take care, enjoy your runs and happy training everyone 😍

Your Team Irishprincess, Beachcomber 66 and me xxx

thank you. I would like to join please. I will be in France and Sunday is our local running group run day so it should be possible to do it then (time shift might mean I'm a little late or early starting off as we start at 10am French time). I've sent a request to join the strata group (initials NP)
