Think I will be chief motivator to you all

+ head cheerleader

I've thought about this in the past, and how the run could be themed to make it a bit different for those who run fairly regularly anyway (or just break the monotony). My idea was to get a team of people in full kit running 10k continuously passing a ball between them and every time it's gone through the full team someone would drop to one knee and play the ball to an acting half back and start over again - the down side is that the team might get in the way of other runners.

sounds a good idea Iain, but the size of me, if i get down to play the ball then i aint gettin up my friend to play the ball (unless it was the finishing line).

I was thinking that naturally we'd have to run in team colours so maybe when we have an idea of numbers andwhat have you we'd need to approach the club, if they let us put sponsership forms of the official site it would help create more chances to generate cash.



Will the club train us

Can we have a definite show of hands for who's definitely up for this, when we get the confirmed figure I'll make a few enquiries about the best run and what is needed to enter and register our chosen charity.

In all seriousness, i am at the quacks this friday because currently I have Knack knee in both legs, so before I volunteer (or my agent volunteers me) I will have to find out what the problem is. Then I can plan my training at the college fitness centre first before road work, so hopefully I may be in.

I am deffo in

I'm in.

As long as my knee holds up when i start training then i'm in. If not perhaps me, Gav Iain and whoever else could arrange to do one of the 24hr mountain bike rides that are organised?



I'm also doing the tour of flanders next year perhaps I could get some sponsorship sorted for that?

I'll give it a go.

I'll be doing the GM run anyway as long as I get a place (and am in the country) so may join these shenanigans. One detail that's not been mentioned thus far is the date - Sunday 15th May.



As for the mountain bikes, [url=http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/penninebridleway/downloads.asp?pageid=37The Mary Townley Loop[/url is Red Preacher's suggestion.

Oh, Iain; do you know how many participants the GM run can cater for? And does demand exceed the amount of places available, generally speaking?
