I'm actually looking forward to the new route. Having run Ipswich the past 2 years, I find the bits out Whitton way a bit dull and lacking in support. Hopefully the new route, being more compact, and focused in and around the town, will have a bit more 'buzz' about it.

I'll be interested to see the new ipswich half route, not sure how I feel about doing a 2 laps over a I imagine it will be much easier to marshall though as they need 120 marshall for the previous route!! I found it a really tough race last year but I wonder how many hills there will be in this years race?! It would be quite nice if it takes in the waterfront...

An uneducated guess, but I am not expecting the route to through town as the roads would need to be shut all morning. Constitution Hill would be quiet on a Sunday morning!

Just heard a really nice feature about Ipswich Parkrun on BBC Radio Suffolk - just before the news at half six if anyone wants to listen again to it......

Thanks for the plug Baroness - They managed to interview our youngest runner (age 5) and our eldest (age 80).

The show can be found at bbc.co.uk (fast forward to 26:15 m- the link is available until Monday 22nd April)

Nothing from the ED either as I was at the Huntingdon inaugural which allowed another one of the core team to have their very deserved moment in the spot light.

Looking forward to tomorrow, hopefully it won't be raining too hard.

On a separate note I have just seen the provisional route for the half!

I was joking when I said Constitution Hill would be quiet on Sunday morning, it's a confusing route.

Looks like a bit of a dog's breakfast...
