Fancy a little run?

Hello everyone :wave:

YouthNet (the charity that runs TheSite.org) has 5 places for the Bath Half Marathon that's taking place on 15 March.

If you’re interested in taking part and raising a bit of money for a brilliant charity then have a look here. I'm sure Franki and Clementine_the_tangerine will tell you what a fantastic time they had running our last half marathon in London's Royal Parks.

There are contact details on the page or feel free to ask any questions here and I can try and find the answers.

    I'm sure Franki and Clementine_the_tangerine will tell you the best recovery methods after taking part in the marathon.

    Don't worry, we walked it last time because we were reeeeeeally unfit. BUT if you've screwed your knee I would say give it a miss and maybe try for the Royal Parks Half Marathon in October instead :).

    Hello

    Good advice above from a half marathon pro!

    Just to let you know that there are still some places in the Bath Half Marathon. If you're not keen, then please do pass the message on to any friends or family who you think may want to take up the challenge and raise money for a fantastic cause - the charity behind TheSite.org!

    If March seems a bit soon to put yourself through 13.1 miles, we've got loads of runs/triathlons spanning the UK this year. Take a look here for more info.

    Please shout with any questions.

    I'll talk to some folk, I might (*might*) be able to do a shorter run this year. I'm trying to build myself up to doing charity runs...

    Cheers piccolo - it would be great to get some of TheSite users on board.

    I work at YouthNet by the way (you probably guessed), the charity behind TheSite.org - I may be lured into the British 10K London Run in July myself...
