To be sure we have what you need or for more obscure requests please leave items at the Runners World stand at the registration Expo. Supporters will be collecting them Thursday, Friday & Saturday. Items should be market with: name, race number & support group number.

Location of Support area

With approx 40,000 runners it is almost impossible to pick out individuals as they pass, therefore its important you know where to spot us.

The support area is on the right hand side of the road at the pelican crossing by mudchute DLR station. There is a water station immediately after the 17 mile point, pelican crossing is immediately after the water station. I will post a close of google map/google earth image of the area with exact location shortly.

Supporters will be standing in sequential group order along the course. The area will be festooned with blue and yellow balloons so should be easy to spot, there will also be a large '100 yards to RW Supporters' sign hung up. When you get to us, look out for the support group numbers and go over to you're respective group.Please use this thread to ask any questions and look out for further information which will be posted up until the race. Any final instructions will be posted Sunday 18th April.

Good luck everyone..

What I'll be wearing: Blue, green and White Alzheimer's society t-shirt with ANGIE on front in black letters, and a blue running elephant on the back.

Any special needs: Judging by this weekend's performance on my long run, probably a stretcher and a massage and a number for a TAXI to take me to the finishing line!! lol .  Seriously though, lots of positive encouragement, a huge hug and I will decide before the EXPO if I will need any more Gels and leave them at the runners world stand.

Thanks again and looking forward to meeting you very soon!

No worries boss, i'll get on to the spreadsheet tonight  

I could have a go at the sign, only issue is getting it there.....i'll not be able to get to London until early Sunday morning, as i'm in Chelmsford the night before at a wedding, and i'm only flying in to Stansted on Saturday.  Unless it was just paper & I rolled it up?!  I'll PM you later actually, saves bumbling on on here....

Welcome Nancy, thanks for the info.  Your brother's outfit sounds fab!!!!  I don't think we'll have any trouble spotting him! hahaha.

Joddly, could you let me have your details and i'll shove them in to the spreadsheet?  If you prefer to PM them, that's no bother
