No idea MaTT, just noticed that Derby has nothing listed. Enquired about Stafford and seems they have plans afoot. Where did you see or hear about Stafford?

Stafford is now sorted. Just waiting for details then we will update the website. Thanks for all your help with this one.
Ben may be on his own in Peterborough on Sat 19 Dec. We have been emailing the guy at Peterborough AC who sorted the route etc for us but have not heard anything back recently. Hopefully they have got the new start time of 0930. If anyone wants to join him, the start is at the Key Theatre, Embankment Road, PE1 1EF. We will keep trying to get back in touch with them and keep you all posted.

From the 401Challeng page on fb it seems he might be struggling for company in Peterborough this coming Saturday (19 December).

I helped recce one of his two Preston routes a few months ago. I hope to join him on the actual run for a few miles next year.

I saw he had some people for Peterborough, then on FB I read he did the last 12 on his own. I would have gone if I'd realised they would all leg it after 14 miles! Contemplating going up to Lincoln tomorrow (anything to avoid XMAS shopping) link to route on right.

Oh no. He shouldn't be on his own. If you do see him tell him Matt Sospan says 'Hi and Merry Christmas'
