Fierce and Fearless Fleecy
I had a towel from Bracknell HM, that's the only one I've had I think. They are very handy as gym towels, more races should do them!

Well done Frags! medal

I have towel from the 2008 Felixstowe half. Not because I ran it as I didn't run back then, but because I marshalled (my mum was race director). Definitely need more races doing towels instead of tshirts.

Fragile Do Not Bend
I think I might use it as a hand towel in the kitchen so it gets shown off.

Good plan, Frags! :)

The Birchwood 10k in Warrington gave customised towels to finishers and flowers to women competitors. Probably still does.

I read somewhere that's a towel is about the most massively useful thing you can have. 😀

Well done runners & racers today :) I have a towel from the Gingerbread 10k and a great one from last year's Mad Dog that is perfect for the gym as it has a zip pocket. The Birchwood 10k (Spectrum Striders organised, very nice race with outstanding marshals... ;)) was persuaded to ditch the towels in favour of medals :( I think it's a shame, but to appeal to the beginner end of the market apparently you really need bling.

Of course! I ought to have made the connection, Autumnleaves. :) The Striders consistently put on a safe and well organised race. Still think the towels were ace....

About This Thread

Maintained by Mandymoo
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2017 thread, everybody welcome :-)

The thread motto is:

'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles of either you or the spot you reached the target or both if you want to. And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.

Join in the chat on the friendliest thread around - all things discussed and sometimes even some running is talked about.

Happy running :-)
