The route is more like 6K!

What's 1k to a honed athlete like you and Christies Child?

What my strict training regime that I have been following is to slowly build up to 5k just in time for me to peak next week my plans have been thrown into chaos.

This now means an extra affort next week or giving up and joing CC at the back for a few pit stops, I will see you at the first pub CC.

Is the fund day free to attend and is it just the run you have to pay for?

can anyone tell me what the route is for the fun run? i know we go to the midland hotel via broadway and the prom but do we come back the same route or a different route.

It's the same way back...

I see North stand Shrimp has been taking his training seriously and did the MMorecambe 10k in 45.50 at the weekend.

Meanwhile me and Lloydie have been to by having an all day drinking session followed by a curry

Not really, just a gentle jog down the prom and back

I'm waiting for the Morecambe "Iron Man" Triflathlon. You iron a few shirts then eat a trifle.

is that tag team??????? ironing is woman's work now into hiding i go

if the fun run starts at the club, and goes down to the shrimp, then up broadway along the prom to the midland then comes back the same route, it is just short of 4 and a half miles

I mapped it from the club down Burlington to the Midland and back and it was coming out at 6k

Puts a Marathon into perspective when you consider that you would have to run this route 7 times to cover the distance!

Just a thought, are there going to be any marshalls at street crossings, and any water station?etc?

If it's weather like this afternoon, all those 'watering holes' will come in usefull...

I was thinking that especially for crossing from Broadway to the prom. Surley there must be if 200+ people are doing it.

Also will there be any water stops on the way round?

Forecast isn't to clever for the weekend.

I tend to use this forecast site and it's pretty spot on most of the time

15C and Fair with 3mph breeze, perfect running conditions!

Seriously though... I've heard over 300 people have entered. having all them people(including kids) trying to cross Marine road without marshalls is an accident waiting to happen.

unfortunately I've strained a shoelace so wont be able to do the run, but i have a hi-viz vest i could stop traffic if needed

Ask a car Salesman to stop the traffic for you. There is a few on the Prom around Broadway!

Just give this one a little "BUMP" hope nobody minds.

The lineup for the days entertainment is looking very impressive. Loads to do to keep all members of the family happy, keep checking the main site for updates.

Let me get this right, Father's Day and a 10am start for a "fun" run

I suppose some stupid idiot will be there early with camera
