There WILL BE PLACES THIS YEAR ON THE DAY.

Late Entries Desk is open from 8.30am through to 15 minutes before the start of each race.

 See you all there

Wheres all the 10k threads gone ?  has everyone fallen out of love with the 10k ?

Thanks Karen.

We still have places for this fantastic race through High Elms, 

Anyone not run this event before can check out the route (curtosy of one of last years contestants)

I have some low res photos of last year loaded on my web site www.smithfamily.me.uk

This is one of the few running events where you can actually take the whole family, and let them have a go (2k for the kids).  Seeing the kids faces when they get a medal just like mums or dads is a brilliant experiance. and because the kids enter and leave the main field the same way as the 10k many kids (OK the younger ones) think they do the same route - Sorry adults but you have to go do another 8k !!!!

The PSA always put on a great range of activities including bouncy castles, great catering, and of course the Bouncy Castle, although I am told that 10k's are a little big to have a go !

Orpington is just 15 minutes by train from London Bridge and under 2 miles from Junction 4.

Any questions fire away,

I wouldn't recomend sex in the middle of the night before a race... I found doing so did calm my nerves, but on the other side I was knackered the following morning.... maybe I should have stuck with just the once before bed rather than....

Once point about the article 

 male athletes were made to run on a treadmill 12 hours after having had sex. They showed no decline in stamina, or mental and physical performance

12 Hours is that 12 hours on a treadmill or 12 hours after sex ? 

Duckinator, I think you should have kept that quiet, don't want the Mrs to come back and tell you it works!

Anyone done this ?

Any tips for someone who probably shouldn't be doing it with an injury, but hell I've looked forward to this all year.....

Another Fantastic year with a good turnout despite a slow start we saw a huge on the day entry.
