The Rentboy Aug 2011 2:23pm, 22 Aug 2011 1,546 posts	0 The Rentboy Hi all Hope you don't mind me barging in like this.. There are a couple of spaces left for the Melrose Hill Race 13.1km for this Sunday 28th August. One or two runners had to pull out with injuries. It's all on road, undulating with some good scenery. Medals and goody bags for the finishers, Buffet, tea/coffee and presentation in a hall after the race. No entry for this race but i would appreciate donations to give to a local charity instead. So if you think it was a rubbish event, don't pay a thing If anyone is definitely interested, please fmail me asap

At the moment you would need to be available tomorrow evening (Thu 25th). The event itself will take place during next year's festival. The first trial was last night and those of us involved had a great time. I'm going back tomorrow for more
TripletDad Aug 2011 3:49pm, 24 Aug 2011 1,467 posts	0 TripletDad In a drunken state recently I accepted a challenge to celebrate 2012 by running 20 5k's and 12 marathons. Having sobered up now I’m trying to see if I can actually manage it. The 20 5k's should be doable by attending various parkruns around Scotland but I'm looking for recommendations for some good marathons, ideally in Scotland/North England but happy to travel a bit further if required. Ideas so far (doesn’t necessarily need to be one each month) April Lochaber May Edinburgh August Northumberland Coastal October Loch Ness November Newcastle Town Moor Any other thoughts of some good ones to add? Anyone daft enough to want to join me is more than welcome.

SpicedApple Aug 2011 4:23pm, 24 Aug 2011 5,155 posts	0 SpicedApple TD, you're mad!! What about Kielder (March by North East Marathon Club, October the "official" one)? Do LDWA ones count? They seem to be doing some really nice ones - I can report back after the weekend. The North East Marathon Club also puts on its own events - Lisrun is the man to ask.
