As Anj says you reply to the email and if you're one of the lucky 5 per venue you get a Nike+ sportband to log miles / kms. I've got 4 pairs of compatable shoes so should log a few miles in the month, especially if wear a pair for my 50 mile race.

Cramond Gobi. Flat as a pancake, tarmac and out and back. Should be fun battling the wind :)

Noticed this news snippet on the Gorleston page.

"On 24th October Gorleston Cliffs Park Run is planning a link-up run with the International Climate Action Day "350" project. If we can attract 70 runners to do the 5km distance this totals 350km. NB. 350 ppm CO2 in the atmosphere is considered to be the danger level and we are already at 385ppm. More details are at website 350.org.

The plan would be to start the usual run a tad later than normal at 09.03.50 and for co-director Dave Kelf to run/jog/walk the course for 3.50 hours from then, with others joining in as they wish."

Sounds like a good excuse to do some extra miles ;-)
