My first time at Beachy, am planning to run walk it (run half?) can I get round in 6 or should I bring a torch? Brighton mara, my first one, took me 4:42. Looking forward to it however long it takes : )

Ultra Kazzaaaaah!!
Well six isn't totally unrealistic - just depends on how you handle hills and off-road!! ;)

If this year is as bad as the last two then it'll definitely be my last!

Kaz - we are so going to get a finish time that starts with a 5;-)

I didn't drag Andre over the Seven Sisters to Birling Gap and back for nothing :-) We los5 too much time at CP3 last year.

Hippo - am getting so excited.

Like Hippo says you will love Beachy. Kaz said last year she wouldn't do it again, but is back. Thou Kaz does it for the sausage rolls.

I'm thinking run a mile then walk a mile. 10 mins then 17.5 mins. 2 miles every 25 mins or so will be just under 6 hours, and hopefully avert nice day out in those views. I may bring a camera.
