•• AN APPEAL TO ALL COASTERS GB IN LANCASTER AREA ••
I need barry's help....
The olympic torch is getting on a bus from Lancaster to Garstang!
I'm not to happy about that. Neither are a lot of other runners, who have started a rival torch/baton race round the country (sound familiar?)
The olympic torch is getting on a bus from Lancaster to Garstang! Stuff that! Join me at a silly hour in the morning to run the Lancaster to Garstang leg of the Real Relay, an attempt to run the full 8,000 mile olympic torch route non-stop with an alternative baton.
As its non-stop, the leg is forecast for 2.25am on 30th July but this may change depending on the speed of the previous runners.
I would love to get as many great Lancaster runners as possible to help run the leg with me (and a bigger group may help me a;not look insane on my own with a baton or b: get arrested/run-over). Please pass the message on to anyone who may be up for it.
I'll update the numbers/race time/ photos at lancasterrunner.tumblr.com and on twitter @irunlancaster
Bring more batons/replica torches/lightsabers/barry? with you and i'll try and get the press.
About the Real relay:
The Endurancelife Real Relay is an exciting attempt to follow the entire route of the official Olympic Torch around the British Isles in one continuous non-stop journey, running every step of the way. Starting out from Land’s End at midnight on Monday 28 May, ten days behind the official Olympic Torch, the Real Relay will involve hundreds of runners from across the British Isles running through the day and night on an 8000 mile mission to reach London in time for the Olympic Games opening ceremony. http://www.endurancelife.com/realrelay/
