Double Trouble Gin Pit Marathon – 12th & 13th March
Malc Collins informs me that pre-entry numbers for this event are encouraging with runners from as far afield as Swansea & Edinburgh already signed up.
As you probably know the event is not marshalled and in order to assist and keep an eye on participants, as well as getting in a bit of distance training for ourselves, a number of A&T members have expressed an interest in running the course in pairs, one runner taking on the first half, then handing over to their partner to complete the course. The handover point will be at Marsden Green Bridge on the canal.
If we can get enough members interested, we can set the first runner from each pair off at different times to ensure, that A&T members are spread throughout the field and within shouting distance of the majority of participants. It’s even been suggested that if interest if high enough, we could organise pacers.
As Malc already got his hands full with the organisation of the race, I have agreed to gauge the interest and to arrange who goes off when and on what date.
Please let me know by e-mail if you’d be interested in helping and if so on which date. This won’t form part of the main race; you won’t be wearing numbers, and should be treated as a training run – what pace you run at is entirely up to you.
Thanks
