...if you do Fulbourn, you may get a double dose of RichHL, which can only be a good thing


Mmm.

And of course, if you do Fulbourn, you may get a double dose of RichHL, which can only be a good thing. Storeys Field is clearly the keep the shoes clean option though.


Kind but delusional.

It's a bit of a trek from ours at the best of times, and they'll have travelled to come to us. I haven't been running since Jan anyway.

Okay, peeps, can you get me your projected times? I need to start putting start lists together.

F-mail me please. I'll need your name, ICE contact name and phone number - and for the love of Fetch, give me a real ICE contact and your real name. I don't want to talk about the time someone didn't. In fact, I can't talk about that. Your projected time for the Jingle Mile and whether you would like to take part in other races that day. We will have time for 800m, 400m, 200m (probably), a 100m and of course the 4 x 100m Mince Pie Relay.

The cost for the afternoon's "entertainment" is £5.00 per athlete. We can come to terms regarding a Family Ticket if you have juniors in tow. We will have wheelchair racers and frame runners from C&C competing on the day so if you know of any wheelies, please let them know. They're more than welcome. I think we might have VI runners but they haven't confirmed yet. You'll need to bring a guide runner if you normally run with a guide. I haven't been able to confirm the attendance of any experienced guide runners. Sorry.

There are no dogs allowed on track so canixers have to leave their hounds behind.

The usual "and a piece of cake" addendum to the entry fee is entirely optional. It's traditional and would be welcome but please don't feel you have to bake anything or bring anything if you'd rather not.

I think that's it for now. Entry is cash on the day. My plans for an online entry thing were far too grand. You're welcome to come and support free of charge.

Pray to whichever deity you find most beneficent for kind weather. See you on 3 December.

Organising an event on Shabbat and you want help from the deity? No wonder it always hails.

I can’t be there, btw, nothing to do with Shabbat of course.

Maybe all the gods could get together and decide on one Shabbat? It would make everything so much easier.

Okay, here it is. Again. And again. And yet again. And once more. And this time with feeling. And this time in the summer which probably means it's going to piss it down. And now again at Christmas. And this time not even in East Anglia, really (which is probably just as well). And back in Cambridge with bells on. And this time it's a bit Disnae. Yet again, eighth time for luck. Like Tokyo 2020, Jingle Mile 2020 has been postponed to 2021 but we can't afford a rebrand. Instead there is a Virtual Jingle Mile. Make up your own swears. And back for a Not The Jingle Mile 2020 In 2021 thanks to Hells Bells. The Jingle Mile 2020 is happening in 2022, thanks to the magic of television. (It's not the magic of television.)

Saturday 3 December 2022
12:00pm - 2:00pm

Cost £5.00

Directions to the track:

DON'T ENTER WILBERFORCE ROAD FROM MADINGLEY ROAD!

It's blocked off about a hundred yards down.

From M11 - Exit at J12 (A603, Sandy & Cambridge), follow the A603 along Barton Road to Grange Road on your left. Up Grange Road to Adams Road on your left. The entrance to the track is at the end of Adams Road.

From A14 Eastbound - Exit at J31. Follow A1307 Huntingdon Road towards Cambridge city centre. Follow signs for A1134 Ring Road and turn right onto Mount Pleasant and follow the one-way system down onto Madingley Road. Turn right onto Madingley Road, first left onto Grange Road, and second right onto Adams Road. The entrance to the track is at the end of Adams Road.

From A428 Eastbound - Exit for Cambridge and American Cemetary. Follow the signs for Cambridge city centre past the American Cemetary, across the M11 bridge, Churchill College on your left until you reach Grange Road where you turn right. Take the second right onto Adams Road. The entrance to the track is at the end of Adams Road.

From A14 Westbound - Exit at J31 onto the M11 Southbound and follow the directions above.

For anyone who is coming by train, there is now a bus service U from the railway station to Robinson College, Grange Road, which leaves a half mile walk along Adams Road to the Wilberforce Road University Track.

You could also walk from the station. It's a couple of miles. Head out of the station and onto Station Road, right onto Hills Road then follow that all the way into the city centre to Petty Cury. Turn left there and go down onto the Market Square. Cross the square diagonally then bear down the side of Great St Mary's. Turn right at the end then immediately left down Senate House Passage. Follow Trinity Lane round to the right and then left onto Garrett Hostel Lane. Over the bridge then straight on over Queens Road and up Burrell's Walk. Bear right at the end and up onto Adams Road. The track is at the end of Adams Road.

Swimmers and paratroopers, you're on your own. Weirdos.
