Have Pompoms, will travel 🌍😎📣

[linda9389]

Shake out your pompoms, grab your sunnies and pack light ... we've got some distance to cover this weekend!

Both events take place on Sunday 21st, so feel free to rest and take in the sights on Saturday, because on Sunday we will be busy!

🌟First we travel to Greece where OldManRunning will be tackling the Rhodes 10k. The Rhodes marathon event is billed as 'a stunning seaside trip to one of the sunniest destinations in Europe' where you can 'experience a magical journey through time! Let the history of Rhodes take you on a journey from the Classical, Roman, Byzantine, Medieval, Ottoman and Italian eras to the present day!'. This 'out and back' race is run entirely along the coast and looks amazing! With an early start, hopefully it will be sunny but not too warm! Not jealous at all OMR 🤷‍♀️🙈

🌟Then back in the UK Time_Lord will be running the Shakespeare HM. Running around closed roads in the city of Stratford and along the Stratford Greenway, this route is described as 'flat and fast ... ideal for pb racing! It looks altogether cooler than Rhodes (which may be a good thing), but at least it currently looks to be dry. Have a blast out there TL 🚀🔥

Wishing you both Bon Courage! Have fun!!! And do let us know all about it when you can; we love a good race report🤩

Let's give these amazing VRB's our loudest cheers, warmest support and wildest pompom waves!

If anyone else is racing this weekend, don't be shy, let us know in the comments below and we can support you too.

Have a great weekend everyone,

Your team:   Irishprincess, Beachcomber66 and me xxx

Cheering for you! OldManRunning & Time_Lord 🤩

[SueAppleRun 10 Miles]

Both beautiful places to run, have fun and know the pom poms are waving madly from here for you both, and a bit like Linda....not jealous at all 🤣, but in a good way

[Cowladyrunning Marathon]

I like the sound of both those races! Good luck both and pom poms are ready to wave😃

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

I can’t believe it, the Katz are not racing! 🤣🤣🤣

Have fun OldManRunning in beautiful Rhodes and Time_Lord in lovely Stratford upon Avon. Pom-poms waving from the south coast.

Have great runs OldManRunning and Time_Lord . Fabulous locations! Pom poms waving for you and everyone running this weekend 🎉🎉🎉

[Shake-and-run Half Marathon]

TailChaser and I are on volunteer duty at the Stratford event so will look out for Time_Lord and may even have ‘actual’ pom-poms to wave! Good luck to OldManRunning too, what a wonderful location for a run.

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

[Runnin-g Half Marathon]

[Cmoi Marathon]

Happy running OldManRunning & Time_Lord !

[over61andstilltrying Half Marathon]

Pom poms waving have a good time in every way 😊

[TailChaser Marathon]

Whoop! Whoop!! I will actually be waving my pom poms at Time_Lord on Sunday as Shake-and-run and I are doing something at the Shakespeare run (don’t know what yet!). I think OldManRunning has made the better choice though!! Massive good luck to both of you and have loads of fun 🤩🥳🥳🥳

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon]

Great locations! Enjoy yourselves both of you, revel in your gorgeous surroundings and bring back the shiny stuff 🍀🏅

[Beachcomber66 Administrator Half Marathon]

Two epic runs in different ways. Hope the sun doesn’t shine too brightly in Rhodes OldManRunning ! Stratford will hopefully be tolerably cool for Time_Lord …..and not, repeat not, raining!☔️ Have a fantastic time and post some pictures 🙂

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon]

Good luck OldManRunning and Time_Lord ! 👏👏 My pompoms are on standby for Sunday- hope all goes well! 🙂👍

[GTFC Marathon]

Cheering you on from Teesside OldManRunning and Time_Lord Have a brilliant day and enjoy the experience 😀

[Sandie1961 Half Marathon]

Good luck OldManRunning and Time_Lord I spent my honeymoon in Rhodes (not running 😂), beautiful and I’m sure Stratford will be amazing. I am amazed that TailChaser and co are not doing it given their recent history!

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to Sandie1961]

Er… no…. I’m just being a voucher tart - £100 voucher against RunThrough races for marshalling. It’ll pay for a few training races for Berlin 😃

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

That's an amazing return for one stint of marshalling

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Yes it is, although I think they may be getting their monies worth with us as we’re at the southern most point so have to bike there and we’ll have no one passing for at least 2 hours after the start. I’m hoping the 4G signal is good so we can watch a bit of London!

[Folkylass]

Pom Poms ready and waiting to be vigorously waved for OldManRunning and Time_Lord! God luck to both of you and have a great time👍👍👏

[lexi6 10 Miles]

Whoo hoo! Both events sound amazing, have a great time 👏👏

[Bluebirdrunner]

Good luck and enjoy your races OldManRunning and Time_Lord pom poms are ready and big cheer from me!

🏃‍♂️🏃⭐️⭐️xxx

[Hedgehogs123 Metric Marathon]
