Redbul Posted 10 March, 2009 Share Posted 10 March, 2009 Yeah, I'm doing it. It's a good larf. I was going to wear a Saints kit if I could get above, say, £500 in sponsorship money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Porter Posted 10 March, 2009 Share Posted 10 March, 2009 I'm thinking about doing it this year, done a couple of 10k runs now and want to do this next with a bit more training it should be fine. Hopefully i'll manage to convince someone to do it with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 10 March, 2009 Share Posted 10 March, 2009 Did it last year, found it pretty dull. Aside from the historic dockyards, Pompey is a featureless sh1thole to have to run through. Poor weather didn't help either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambosa75 Posted 10 March, 2009 Share Posted 10 March, 2009 Is it possible to be sponsored in order to pocket the money yourself once you have completed the race? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junction 9 Posted 10 March, 2009 Share Posted 10 March, 2009 Weather for the last 3 has been horrendous. I'll be having a go, I need such events to stir me from my total lethargy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm I have even done this run when it was in it's rightful and spiritual home, good old So'ton. Think it started on the Avenue opposite the white gates (across from Taunton's) Can't remember if it went north or south first though. probably in 1990 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scummer Posted 23 March, 2009 Share Posted 23 March, 2009 I've done it a couple of times, had an email in my inbox this morning inviting me to apply for this year. I think I'll probably do it, it's pretty much at the end of my road and any training I do is along the route they use, so I may as well. Just wish it wasn't so expensive to enter.
