Derby Tup Nov 2013 3:17pm, 22 Nov 2013 8,226 posts	0 Derby Tup Brett, HH organiser, has an amazing skill for sorting decent weather for the day. I've done every one since 2005 and it's mostly been a good day for running

Frobester Jan 2014 11:23am, 16 Jan 2014 24,592 posts	0 Frobester Cor, suddenly there's activity here! I'm old and slow too but I just like the look of Stour Valley. Like my first mara though, I have absolutely no idea whether or not I'll want to do another once I've finished it, assuming I do!
