This is absolute bollocks that a town the size of swindon can not hold an event of this size once a year. I'm not sure who is to blame.

It's a shame, but not entirely unexpected. It just about scraped together enough money to go on last year - no big sponsor and (without wishing to go all Reginald) seqol have a million other things to focus on with a near non-existent budget to be able to put this on. It's a shame, but it'll be back in 3-4 years.
Hopefully it comes back it's with a sponsor with the clout to be able to put on a route that actually though the town - a la bath and Bristol - rather than the countryside snooze fest it is/was

Has anyone received their annual London Marathon rejection magazine/letter yet? Going by previous years, I've had it by now. Maybe my luck has changed?!

I let my running habit lapse after completing the London Marathon again in 2014. I'd been going out only sporadically since then...until a few weeks ago, when I finally got my act together. Just needed a little structure. I'm setting the alarm for 6am now on a Monday, Wednesday & Friday and going out for a short run (about 4 miles at the moment) before getting ready for work. Two weeks in, and I'm kicking myself for not doing this earlier. Great to be back again. And then my wife spotted last week that the inaugural Farnborough Half Marathon ( http://www.farnboroughhalf.co.uk) takes place this January...so I've signed up. Something to aim for, which always helps. Anyone missing the cancelled Swindon Half might want to give it a go? |

If anyone needs a bag for any events, then I highly recommend a kitbrix bag. Solid, well made and built to last. Bit expensive, but worth every penny in my opinion.
Www.kitbrix.com

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious shit...
