In full: Wonderful event, great cause, fantastic venue. Will do it again and again and this year came with my personal best, which is the cherry on the cake. Thank you Cancer Research, thank you Southampton, thank you 10,000 running and walking women.

In short: A touching experience as usual!
In full: Southampton Race for Life 5k for women is not too much about running but about the fundraising that brings us together in the Southampton common every year and the stories we write on our shoulders. Additionally it converts many non-runners into get-fit people. The only criticism is the fact that some walkers still keep on starting with the runners and don't respect that some people might have raised money on the assumption they make a reasonable time. It would be good if the organization could separate the runners from the walkers to start, maybe assigning different color of numbers white, blue, pink etc. like they do in other races, based on expected time. Other than that it is a brilliant experience and running with 10,000 other women is uplifting no matter how fast you can run or walk! So I am ready already for next year!
