Still plenty of space

Just been chatting with Matt at Timing Monkey, who tells me that we’ve got 20 entries so far for the Marathon.

Still loads of space for those who want to run.

I have to place an order (and pay) soon for medal ribbons, and seeing as how it’s payday weekend, you might like to get in early.

Still plenty of team relay places available, too. Every year I have to turn teams away from that because they’ve entered too late. For now, I’ve got 20 team places up for grabs, so if you want a fun end of season social, now is the best time to get in.

And now it starts

Vigilantes Maravan holds associate membership of the Association of Running Clubs. This allows us to hold officially recognised events, and gives us a nice big wodge of insurance which protects us all.

It’s an annual membership, and it needs to be renewed every year in April, so it’s up for renewal right now.

Thanks to our ARC permits, all our marathon-distance events are recognised by the various clubs and groups that like to count these sorts of things, the 100 Marathon Club and the Marathon Globetrotters just happen to be two that Darren is a member of.

I’ll get the money sent off for the ARC membership and the permit this week, and then from that point on, it’s all systems go, as the council and both landowners need to see evidence of this insurance policy.

So, as the first cost now hits the ledger, and conscious that we’re just into a new month, it would be really handy, if you’re thinking about entering, if you could get in now.

2022 Results

Have been online at Timing Monkey since during the race – we get live updates. It’s amazing.

I’ve updated the results archive accordingly

Thanks to everyone involved last weekend, runners, supporters, specialists and parks staff alike. We had a great, if tiring time and we’ll be back next year.

Entries will be open once I’ve got the relevant permissions confirmed.

See you next year…

We’re keeping entries open for a while longer!

Just to let you know that, because Darren’s doing some running himself this coming weekend, and therefore won’t have finished with the necessary catering and goody-bag purchasing, we’re going to keep entries open for another little while.

Entries are well above 30 in both marathons, so they’re definitely going to count for the 100 club (which needs 15 finishers).

Half marathon is above 20, which is more than we’ve had many times since we started in 2014, and we’ve still got a few spaces left for teams if you want to enter.
