Events 2010

As usual I’m recruiting people for a range of walks, rides and races!
Below are those that are coming up in the next few months:

Wimbledon Park Run (5K / 3 miles) – May 8th @ 9am
FREE EVENT (SIGN UP THE NIGHT BEFORE)

For all ability levels Parkruns are fantastic non-commercial, free, feel-good, community events. You sign up on the website once http://parkrun.com then simply turn up and run at any event in the country! Results are emailed the same day and posted on the website with historical results and stats including age group records and age-graded performances. Races take place all over the country at 9am on Saturdays and are fantastic as training runs as you have that added motivation of running with others. If you’d like to join on May 8th starting at the windmill on Wimbledon Park simply sign up for free on the site and I’ll look forward to seeing you there!

London to Brighton Bike Ride (54 miles) – June 20th

THIS IS NOT A RACE! If you fancy stopping for lunch or a few drinks (Lucozade that is) along the way then you’ll be joining most of the other riders who participate for fun, not to set any records! Any bike will do, there’s everything from £5,000 race bikes to mountain bikes that look like they’ve not been out the shed in the last 10 years! It really is a race open to any type of rider and ability level. Places are alocated on a first come first served basis! http://www.bhf.org.uk/events-and-volunteering/events/bike-rides/london-to-Brighton-2010.aspx

ADVANCED NOTICE FOR THE MORE ADVENTUROUS…..

GRIM 8 – (8 miles) – December 4th
IF YOU DON’T MIND MUD, WATER, AND MORE MUD!

GRIM is held over the Army’s vehicle testing tracks so expect it to be wet, undulating, muddy, and given it’s in December, also very cold! A yearly favourite of mine, the event is so popular they now run it twice over the weekend. For more information on this event visit the website http://original.grimchallenge.co.uk. This race gets 10 out of 10 on the fun factor, anyone that can run 4/5 miles comfortably will be more than capable of finishing, and smile as they do so!

Tough Guy 2011 – (8 miles) – January 30th
NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED

Probably the hardest 8 miles you’ll ever encounter, a few of us are taking part in this rather mad event next year! Advanced warning given for this event as it’s not one to be taken lightly, you will need to train hard to survive Tough Guy! The event is hard to describe so I will let the video do the talking http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IWT2qeNVTQ. For more information on this event visit the website http://www.toughguy.co.uk.
