Web site is here - explains all the details

Best bus would depend on where you're coming from.

Hey there Heath

we meet in the car park by the fountain. You cant miss it there's always loads of people milling around / warming up / gossiping.

I dont know about buses (I drive) but it's about 1.5 miles from kingston train station

Nah, think you're wrong there, XFR.

The Bushey Park bus will be the best bus definitely, regardless of where you're coming from. :0)

Hey Max - yeah, great fun, shame you couldn't make it, we had a full team in the end had enormous fun. Do try and get along to one though soon :o)

Hampton Court station would be the nearest - can't help with buses, although I'm sure someone who lives nearby could help.

Maybe try here

Hmmm... just posted a long message and it got lost...

It went something like:

"A fox"?! You'd better watch out cos it's culling season in the park at the moment!

Heath Hunk - to get to Teddington your best be would be a train from Waterloo to either Teddington or Hampton Court - then it's a 12 minute jog to the start from either (could be longer if your jogging pace is slower!)

Also could try posting on the event thread -a few peeps post there every week and some of them come from the inner city! See http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/forum/forummessages.asp?dt=4&UTN=47732&last=1&V=6&SP=

It's a fab friendly race - some big name athletes and even the odd RW editor has turned up! Look out for groups of forumites gathering near the start and end - often spotted wearing Fetch shirts and even the odd URWFRC and pirate shirt too! Please come and say "Hello" if you do make it there!
