The organizers say this one sold out in December last time, so not much time left ... I'm in!

Hello Muttley,

I`ll have to check my accounts to see if they have cashed the cheque.

Rather liked this one last year.

Ah-hah, fancy meeting you on a local race thread Mr K!

I feel the 2010 event may be a bit cooler than this year's

Hey Muttley and Mr K, What are the odds for another postponment? Looking forward to the cold this time though

I may well do this one - it fits in nicely to my marathon training plan for Stratford in April. Thanks for the tip Mutley, I'll get my entry in pronto. How hilly is it?

hope to...

Im in, missed it last year due to an injury.

It's not hilly, Puffin. Flat as a pancake but can be a bit windswept.

Argh, my least favourite type then, I prefer a few hills to keep the interest up. Only prob is it's about the only one not too far from home in February so it will have to be done.

Puffin - according to my memory the roads over the motorway are positively mountainous!!

I'm in for 2010!!!!

Puffin1 - I too am doing this as part of my training for Stratford. It's the day before my birthday, so the plan is to run a PB then drink a bottle of Jim Beam, happy days Glad to hear it's flat.

Forgot to ask: Anyone know of a cheap hotel (with car park) to stay over the night before?

I entered a few minutes ago and my legs have turned to jelly now.

Muttley

For those who are wibbling or have jelly legs, this 'ere is a perfectly acceptable little jaunt to warm up with

I did that one last year. There was a massive puddle as we went through Frimley Lodge and as soon as my feet got wet they blistered.

but, having said that, I do get "free of charge" entry on that one so i may as well suffer.......

I did have you in mind for that one, LWJ, what with you being such a well-connected lady

GMN - what's your aim for Stratford? I'm also going to do the White Horse half as warm up, only prob is next year it's only 2 weeks before Stratford - oh, and it's also flat and windswept!!

Does anyone have any tips for where to park? A lot of the reviews I've read talk about a long walk back to the car park after the race.
